Re: Anyone adopt Sennheiser AVX yet?
The receivers power BUTTON may be phantom powered, but the receiver itself is NOT phantom powered, it needs to have a battery attached to it to operate.

"The receivers power BUTTON may be phantom powered"
- Sorry Paul, that doesn't make much sense. "IT'S PHANTOM POWERED (according to Senny" - According to everything I've read as well, PP will power the receiver. A receiver certainly cannot power a microphone.. and how could it. |
Re: Anyone adopt Sennheiser AVX yet?
I just received AVX combo system & I think that having the phantom power on to your XLR that has AVX receiver attached to it will act as the on/off switch to receiver. So when you power up camera the receiver
will turn on with camera & stay on till you power camera off. Saves you from pushing power button on receiver. It will not charge or power the AVX receiver. |
Re: Anyone adopt Sennheiser AVX yet?
Sorry, guess I was mistaken. I checked with my acquaintance at Sennheiser USA and he stated "Phantom Power triggers the AVX EKP receiver it to turn ON.. the absence of it, triggers it OFF. The rechargeable BA 20 Accupack battery runs it for about four hours"

Steven you try once, I did and it's not easy when you see that red light and the lens looking at you waiting and you must start ..talking and make sense... honestly it is not easy :) For decades the EV RE50 (omni) has been the answer to mic placement mistakes. Today I get the best possible (between background noise isolation and a decent range in case they forget to point it to the talking mouth and person) with the handheld of the system 10. Then from my own small experience I see that most of the time they point the mic to the talent and then they ask another question but the mic is still pointed to the talent. One way to solve this is to put a lav on them, so... problem solved. But often there is no time to wire them up so we pray for the best :) |
