Wireless Mic creating chatter - Help needed!

Interesting...it's just on your left side. When using the mic, do you have both inputs set to the Lav or one on the lav, the other on a shotgun?


perhaps as you said, its the antenna of the Lav hitting against something by or on your camera?


I have never heard something like that before...definitely doesn't sound like some sort of interference or anything. hmm

I just have it plugged into the left input.  No shotgun mic.

yea i've never heard anything like that.

could be something with the frequencies, i'd check the RF and signal levels for that.

could just be a bad connection somewhere. whether its on the lav, check the connections at the element and the belt pack. usually if its a wire problem, its with in the first 3 inches of the ends..

it could be the element itself. or the belt pack. i'd go somewhere and try swapping different parts of it out. ie. a different element on your beltpack, or your element on a different belt pack. etc .

or it could be the connection at the receiver going into your camera.

it almost sounds like interferance. Did you or anyone have a cell phone near the transmitter or receiver?

It only seems to flare up as the subject wearing the mic gets about 60-80 feet from the reciever.  But even then it's not consistent chatter.  It comes in and out.

Did you scan for a clean setting/channel? You may have had a packed bank and you were hitting distance with it. For weddings im normally 60ft away and always make sure to have a clean bank.
