Audio part 2

The 901 system

In the office I like the 901 from db technologies.

db Technologies PU 901M, UHF wireless system has 16 alternative frequencies, digital pilot transmission with digital squelch control and battery status control (which is SO helpful) , with XLR out.

The 901 set consists of the receiver and a pocket UH900P transmitter.

5V phantom power is supplied to accommodate condenser microphones.

We like it but it is not portable – we have two units like this and each feeds into a mixer which in turn feeds into a mac. We sync audio and vision with a clapper board. Of course yesterdays system is sync as it is recorded on the camera.

Just one thing..leads – all XLR leads are not the same – Radio Shack leads and or low cost leads are utter utter crap (IMHO) so get good quality leads – pay the money and get good leads. If you have ever had a drop out or random problem you’ll know what I mean.
