OK. I got the gig with the semi-pro baseball team. No construction or
very little construction required. Mostly beefing up existing stuff.
I'd love to have some advice and suggestions from knowledgable people
in both NGs.
For rec.audio.pro:
1) The wireless mic for the Telex stsem is lost, so they currently use
an AKG system , but the mic makes a "pop" when it is turned on or off.
They want to go back to the Telex. Two questions: a) What transmitter
do I need? It's a Telex FMR-450 at 614.700. I prefer either a
completestick, or a butt-end which can go on any stick. b) In the
booth, the receiver has two short antennas, but it's in a rack. Can I
replace the antennas with some that can be mounted outside the booth?
What model/mfr? They're screw on 259 type connectors. The system must
be rock solid under difficult circumstances, Pomotions manager in left
field, for example.
2) They want the PA to feed into a picnic area just beyond center/right
field. I can add an amp in the booth and run 70v through conduit and
mount them on light poles, but it's a difficult path, and the GM is
balking at the expense. he wants a wireess system. I'm considering a
transmitter in the booth and an all-in-one receiver/amp/speaker that
they can move at will. What units would you recommend? It will
basically bring announcements to an area about 75x50 feet.
3) The speakers at the adjacent conference center apparently crackle,
even with no program material. But I was not able to hear it today, as
there was a conference going on. I'm guessing the speakers are OK, but
something is getting into the amp or cabling.
For rec.video.production:
1) A Sony 3-chip DVCAM feeds through a vertically mounted antenna
(about the size of a flashlight barrel, BNC connector) to a series of
DynaPix antennas, into a receiver, then onto the big CF screen. The
previous company removed 4 of the 5 antennas! The system never worked
well, as I understand the antenna is designed to be AIMED at the
DynaPix antennas, not vertical. Is there any more reliable system out
there, that can receive solid pictures from most any open area of the
stadium? THIS one, they're willing to spend a bit on.
I need to turn this around in a hurry. Yes, I know a lot about this
stuff, I'm just fishing for opinions, reinforcement, experience with
specific equipment.
