I wire the jumper from the PS1 to the Lectro TA5F Pin 1 to A3M Pin 3 and
TA5F Pin 4 to A3M Pin 2. The A3M Pin 1 goes to the shield but is not
connected at the TA5F. I then run my UM400a input at about 10:00 and it
works great for me with Sanken CS3e and Schoeps CMC6.

Hi Douglas. Can you comment on gain adjustment using just PSU to TX
please?
I mean, it is practical enough or constant adjustment with the tiny
know of the UM400a is needed (and maybe annoying) ?
Do you use an inline attenuator sometimes? |

I'm sorry to interrupt, but this thread seems promising for an answer
to my long standing question: " Would a pair of these mixers, used
with a 744T, give you four pin matched signals to the drive. Short
story; do they match the 4 channel unit in sound quality, but enable
discrete 4-
channel mike level recording? The SoundField ST-350 outputs four line
level signals, but the new SPS200 and Core Sound Tetramic produce a
four-channel stream that depends on phase accuracy and channel matched
pre-amps for it's post-production manipulation. If these really match,
then the economics of purchase make a lot more sense to anyone who
already has the recorder. For them, the boom work is a bonus.

It looks like a very promising device especially for use with a radio boom
rig. The boom operator gets to monitor the audio directly without depending
on an IFB link. But an IFB signal can be fed into the device so the boom op
gets private line communications from the mixer. It supplies phantom power
and, as a preamp, it would feed controlled signal to the radio transmitter..
One would expect this to enhance audio performance.
On the other hand, it does look a bit big. The boom op would have to hang
this clunky device from his (her) belt along with the regular transmitter
and the IFB receiver. True, you wouldn't have to have a separate phantom
supply but the MM-1 appears to be quite a bit bigger than the phantom supply
would be.
The monitoring capabilities are a plus but the real question is there is any
advantage to having a dedicated microphone preamp for use with a radio boom.
That is, is there any performance advantage of the preamp or the limiter of
the MM-1/MP-1 compared with using a regular phantom supply (Denecke, PSC)
and connecting directly to, say, a Lectrosonics transmitter?
Moreover is the advantage, if any, worth the inconvenience of that big box?
Thanks for your thoughts.
