Once again you’ve smashed it. I’m just waiting for the D4RX they teased at NAB, hopefully with a top display. Love to see Deity coming into their own as a company making really great products.
I absolutely love the Theos system. I'm definitely buying a second system. I was going to buy other systems but once I saw it have a headphone jack on the transmitter, my brain went to the moon and back. Being able to listen to the lavalier without my bag is SO GREAT and it makes me curious to know why other systems don't have that. My only gripe is like you said, there is NO limiter.. so when I get actors who suddenly start shouting... YEA! I can counter this by just lowering the gain at the transmitter and pushing the gain on my MixPre 6 but still.. no limiter Deity? *9.8/10*
Fantastic review! After multiple viewings, such a completely thorough test, putting this thing through its paces, and it performed excellently, especially for the price! I look forward to seeing Deity products gain more traction in the professional world as they continue to improve. Also, really glad they included the W.Lav PRO.
I’ve been using the Theos professionally for several months. I’m glad to see your results are in line with the results I’ve seen. They clip like crazy at the transmitter, so I’m usually transmitting at +9 to +15dB gain, then gain staging at my mixer. I have run into a lot of dropouts, even from less than 20 feet away in the 550MHz region on typical sets with 1 or 2 cameras transmitting wirelessly plus comteks plus handheld coms . I’ve found using butterflies or shark fins dramatically improves the distance the Theos are useful at. Is anyone else using Deity Theos having similar issues?
in general i have found 470-530 ranges are the only usable frequencies on lectrosonics/ sony Uwp/ Sennheisers. I was confused that Theos didint touch the 470/19/20 blocks. Big part of the American Market.
Used Theos on venues with 30 000 people. My normal day. Had no dropouts ever on normal filming distances. But can say range is smaller in this case. Do you use correct size antennas? Also can play with RF power. More power, not always better.
Oh man this was the most epic review of a wireless system I have ever seen. This has certainly been on my radar and I thing you’ve tipped me over the edge! It’s a shame about the batter door and that they don’t use the np50 type rechargeable batteries
Thank you. You can use the batteries you want unlike with the BP-TRX. And if you want a crazy wireless review, check out the BP-TRX review. That one was nuts.
Thank you bro… :) Like to see you together guys… Very interest and trustful as always. By the way, I was order an easyrig booming. Will have it in mid June. Can’t be a boomer, I hope :)
Yes it’s the same as a easyrig for camera. Have one of those as well and it’s not for all situations. But if luck…. It will be as the dip stick that got use”dl all the time…. :)
Great review. The lack of an analogue limiter makes it dead in the water for me personally, but I'm keeping very close eyes on Deity's upcoming TXs and RXs.
Thank you for this deep dive, Captain Allen. I have to watch it again to absorb it all. The only thing that remains to be done is for you test the Theos with third-party lavalier's to see which brands are compatible, how well they perform and if they perform better than the wavpro's. I suspect that a couple of brands will sound significantly better.
Not really because where would I finish? I could literally test this system to death for the next 3 years but why? How many of my viewers would be happy seeing me release another video about the Theos and tests? I already have a list with 8 more tests on it that I could have done with the Theos but the investment of my time and energy isn't worth it.
Much of this was way over my head, I felt like I was back in electronics school 25 years ago which I barely understood then. But I really appreciated the distance tests...this seems really impressive especially punching through metal. I've been using Sennheiser G3/G4 and I've found as soon as a car door is closed even if I'm close I'm getting weird things happening. I just ordered these, I'm excited to get my hands on them. I'm in Canada so stoked that I can record on the tx while transmitting, that makes me a lot less nervous about the no limiter issue. Couple questions...your suggestion for menu shortcuts, is that something they can do in a firmware update? Also, the Mute thing in the app...I swore I saw in Curtis Judd's video that Mute does show in the app when it's muted? And you can even mute from the app. Maybe I misunderstood what you were talking about. Anyway, really appreciate this! I have the TC-1s so this will play really nicely with those. Deity seems to be doing some great things these days for those of us in the prosumer world.
He didn't know I was going to say that so it was a genuine reaction. I didn't know either - I surprise myself sometimes. If you watch the last couple frames when I shrug, he starts to laugh. After it cuts he laughs and says he wasn't expecting that. I may release the outtake.
I had to back up a few seconds. I caught the interaction but I didn't catch the face is the first time around AHAHAHAH. But it did leave me wondering if this one's safe to put on talent I'm asking for a friend what's the one that's not safe? Or would that be for an enemy?
Did you notice how it handles moisture? Been working with g4's mostly, and they seem to survive even being dropped in water. Also, having worked a little with theos, the screen protecting plastic is not as thick as g4 one, and tends to crack if you are not careful
I haven't run into any issues with moisture in the air. Yeah, there's a bit let material making up the Theos vs the G4. May not be as robust because of it.
The top 3.5mm audio connectors are more likely to break well before the battery door. One of the connectors on a receiver I bought has already broken. Deity did replace the unit but it's not as well attached to the case as one would hope given that they have a very rugged machined aluminum case.
Hi there. Thanks for that awesome review. One question: how much is the delay? Does it cause any problems when combined with eg sennheiser g4? Would I need to apply a delay for those analog systems in my mixpre to not have any weird sounding mixed delays and non delays? Thaanks in advance, Matthias
Thank you for the thorough review.. But the problem with these tests are the method that not testing it on real shooting scenarios. Open teradeks, hollyland transmitters, solidcoms, open iems, along with the bag with distros, other brands also inside the bag. | got 2 theos kits and upon testing it on the store it's flawless. When i put it in my soundbag on a real documentary shoot and commercials along with lectro src's & 411a's it produces some artifacts and dropouts as well as the noise floor is kinda high to my liking. Maybe i got a bad batch but.. i believe that there's more to improve with these kind of systems. Not there yet.
That's weird because it shouldn't intermediate with anything you mentioned on set. The lowest frequency used by any other department is 1.9 GHz if you don't count walkies. You are frequency coordinating, right? Have you tried different ranges?
Have you tested it with different Lav-Mics yet? I would love to pair it with my DPA 6061s but heard quite a few reports about some popping noise sounds with the combi (an BT enabled)...
Was looking into buying two sets for my first professional sound kit, good to know you approve of them. Do you think it would be okay to use the included mic as my main lavs for a while?
I'm in the same boat although I think I'm gonna be saving for a little while longer but better Wireless is my next investment I think. I bought a couple of original RODE wireless GOs v1 but there are some definite line of sight and distance concerns even though I love the size of the units. I've been using these things for a live event. I also got some XLR wireless adapters and again I really want something outside of 2.4 GHz, when they work they work great and then when you think you'll have no problems it's all wacky. I was at a train roundhouse which should've been reasonably RF clean apart from the ubiquity networking gear inside the brick building and should've been fairly well buffered from neighboring Wireless to some extent, and yet I had minor issues so I moved the receiver and as soon as we started the wireless was complete garbage even my laptop dropped off the control network for the mixer. So I've been playing 3-D chess with my bank account and products preparing the direction that I'll be going in. And I really started to like what I was hearing and seeing from Deity Theos stuff. Though I am really hoping they're going to do a double set with the plug on transmitter. I'm thinking two channels of wireless in the bag two channels of wireless for live and various combinations of lapel or plug-in that can float between both scenarios. And I almost came close to a job which would've had me probably booming to some extent, oh shucks to be one man band gotta set the gain staging and then focus on the booming.
Great work. But the null test has a flaw. You can’t do these test without word clock.Every pass you record thru the system will have word clock modulations= frequency modulation.
@@SoundSpeeds mostly just pretty bad interference due to close proximity to passing highway traffic. Some drop outs as well, though I was well within line of sight of the Txs. still considering why the drop outs happened but I think it could in part be due to transmitter position and how the actors were blocked. They were all lying on the ground but keep in mind I was like 10 feet away during the scene. Drop outs probably could have been fixed by repoing the txs
@@SoundSpeeds yeah, unfortunately it was one of those scenes that was pressed for time by the lighting and was almost shut down by police earlier in the day for thinking we didn’t have proper permitting. Tough spot and the director liked to move fast. Boomed it all, then got some wilds that night just to be safe
@@SoundSpeeds worked great otherwise though. Filmed along the coast of Washington, inside the top of a lighthouse, under a bridge - it performed really well considering how prone to RF some of those environments can be
I am in the East part of the world and they are selling the sennheiser 112p g4 for around $500 new! But for my work im concerned about the government lol My eyes have been on this for a while.... I just need something thats semi profession for live streaming. And because im overseas I could use the record and transmit at the same time. Would the theos be a good buy for livestreaming and creating videos for professional work given my circumstances.
13:40 is a *brutal* RF test. Normally you get worried when you have a single metal wall, which causes reflections which causes cancellation which causes dropouts. This doesn't just have one wall, it has a metal ceiling and metal floor and metal behind the glass. There are cancellations everywhere. Some might constructively increase the signal, but will be so spikey that it won't help. You miss a bit and the parity bit, and you're sunk (even though you're on a boat). It's not as much blasting through metal, but having metal reflect the signal that causes the biggest issues.
So I just finished 5 days of a 10 day shoot using the Theos where we're averaging 10-12 hours per day. I'm finding that the receiver chews through batteries a lot faster than the transmitters (they're set to 50mw). Anyone else find this? I would have thought the tx would use more power, but I guess I'm wrong. Other than that, I'm loving these! The lavs sound great and are so small and easy to hide. The wire is pretty flimsy though which worries me in the long term.
@@SoundSpeeds TIL there's a USB input to power it haha...thanks! Although, I'm one-band-banding a show and carrying my F6 around my shoulder, wiring people up and booming, so it's extra weight to carry around and not even sure how'd I'd mount it to my setup...but I'll see if I can rig something up. On another note, I'm also having some issues syncing these up with my 3 TC-1s using the Sidus Audio app. It seems to work to sync up all 5 devices at the start of the day but if I say change the batteries on one of the TXs or power them down over lunch I can never successfully sync them all again through the app, I always get some failed syncs. I usually have to sync from the Master TC-1. Has anyone experienced this?
@@SoundSpeeds is self noise different than the audio recording noise ? I thought self noise was the noise made when touching the unit or mics attached to the unit
Which DPA lavalier microphone from the 4060 series works best with the Deity Theos? Or would the 6060 series be better? I've heard there are some issues when pairing DPA lavaliers with the Deity Theos.
I haven't used any other lavs than the W-Lav Pros and haven't heard about any issues with other lavs. Please email any info you have about issues with other lavs.
I tried 3 6060s and 1 4060, and I only had rf interference on the 4060 EDIT: Edit: I get rf interference on all dpa 6060s and clicking noise. It is a lot more subtle then with the 4060, but still not usable
@@SoundSpeeds do you have the mixpre 10ii and mixpre6ii ? Do you feel the 10ii is a better buy or is the 6ii the same quality in a smaller form factor? In deciding between the two . Leaning more towards the 10ii but its bigger size I don’t like
I'm sure there's no other review that covers so many locations and variety of weather conditions!
You're probably right.
Incredibly thorough work!
Thanks tall man

Yes interesting, have tried 4060’s with much interference. Of course turn the Bluetooth off and all good, but what’s the point of that…..
So weird
Are you bothered by the noise floor? or my theos is damaged
The noise floor isn't an issue for me. You might look into your lav wiring.
Have you ever experienced noise with these using mixpre 6ii ? Would these operate better with the mixpre 10ii that has balance outputs ?
The inputs on the 6ii and 10ii are the same. And no.
@@SoundSpeeds do you have the mixpre 10ii and mixpre6ii ? Do you feel the 10ii is a better buy or is the 6ii the same quality in a smaller form factor? In deciding between the two . Leaning more towards the 10ii but its bigger size I don’t like
They are the same but the 10 has more inputs. That's all.
@@SoundSpeeds 10ii has balanced outputs and more db plus better time code features
...
Speeeeeeedzzzzz
Yeah boss.
I am only 30 seconds in but I'm still thinking it's gonna be worth it.
Let's hope

Thanks for the great review. The Diety connect system was so bad, that I just can’t give Diety a shot on this one.
It's a different creature but I understand.
@@SoundSpeeds yeah it is different, but Diety made me look so bad on client shoots that I just can’t try again
Copy that. Well, the only (last) thing I'll say on the matter is that in my BP-TRX, I wasn't recommending it for professional uses.
@@SoundSpeeds true!
