Re: wireless system with DC in?
 

I have both body pack and plug-on transmitters (I have the 2 channel receiver). When I'm working with an audio guy I hand him a pair of plug-ons and go. Keeps my rig nice and tidy. Plenty of range for what I do (200' or less). I wish I had them with me for a gig a couple of weeks ago. I ended up running a steadicam shoot with an audio cable hanging off the sled.

For interviews in noisy places I have one of the Sony ENG stick mics (F-112).

For body pack stuff I have a pair of the AT899cW lavs. They sound great for the $$. I also have a pair of the XLR to 4pin wireless power supplies from AT that lets me use my wireless lavs as wired.

Chris, Can you point me to the power supply xkr adapter that you use with the at899cw?

Even though it doesn't list the AT899cw specifically it works with any of the body pack mics. I use them all the time with mine. Saves me from having to keep multiple versions of the same mic in the bag.

The spec sheet from AT is here - http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/re...539_submit.pdf

The AT 8539 power supply does not have a battery option, if that makes a difference.
Alternately, the Tram TR-79 is capable of power via a 1.5v (LR44) battery OR external phantom power source. but that's $180. I don't know if it's available with the AT's type connector though.
