Convince me not to buy the ARX2 receiver and A20 TX’s for my booms.

I know this is definitely a personal preference to do with the gear I’ve currently got and my standard gigs etc.

From what I’ve read, the A20’s sound the best, have internal 32bit recording for redundancy, and the range is quite good.

Why should I not get them, compared to say Wisycom?

Using phonetics to record a foreign language to your own - what’s it called?

I’ve been asked to work on a short film and they’re speaking English and Croatian. My English is perfect but I cannot understand a word of Croatian. That being said - I’ve heard of a technique where you use phonetic sounds on the script to follow the foreign language.

What’s this method called?

Astral A20-TX Battery Life

Hey all, has anyone used the A20-TX on a boom with Eneloop batteries? Whats the battery life like?

Deciding whether to buy the lithium batteries recommended or just stick with AA eneloops. I’d be transmitting and recording, plus 48v phantom for the boom.

Just getting phantom power noise when mounting Sanken CS-M1 to Ronin 4D ext XLR plate. Anyone else done this before and had it work?

Have tried different cables, different ext plates, and no luck, but it works with other 48v mics, and the Sanken works when plugged in to a mixer/recorder - just not when plugged in to the camera.

+48 switch is toggled on.

Best boom mic transmitters with 32bit internal recording?

Looking at Wisy or Sound Devices/A20 stuff for my boom mics. Anyone got any thoughts or experiences with them?

Why or why not?

Would you just include one mono track instead of dual mono L and R mix tracks?

I’ve always included L and R mono mix tracks for my projects but it seems everyone’s different.

Not sure if anyone else has this issue - when I use TX and record on one of my SMWB’s there’s a weird low volume oscillating sound in the track. It’s only on the track being recorded by my 688 - not the onboard MicroSD card on the SMWB. The sound goes away when I stop onboard recording on the SMWB.

I’ve got an identical model SMWB with exactly the same settings, bootloader and firmware and it doesn’t have this issue. Anyone else?
