You could include a UHF DMR two-way radio for future RF immunity tests as these are becoming more common on set and are a much bigger headache interference wise than analogue FM.
That is a very good spot. Though I don't have a set here. There is a famous story of the OB where we deployed two radio backpacks a classic analogue one and for the fist time a digital one. All worked well while the two presenters were separated by decent yardage working in different locations - but when the producer asked them to do a joint link.... disaster. Ta like, ppm6.
Thanks Hugh - I have an AKG 747 Mark 1 which just loves to catch and rebroadcast RF from any adjacent radio mic tx. It seem the MK2 is identical in every way but has RF shielding. So I think you're right, there's so much RF at gigs these days your not going to get away with mics prone to the problem. Ta like, ppm6.
Ah, a "Jumbo," yes they were very sensitive, but I do think something has changed regarding the RF 'phones emit. We used to do quite a few 'phonos using mobiles and you had to be very careful about where the 'phone was placed relative to the mic. As 'phones improved this became less of a problem. Glensound make what they call Broadcasters' Mobile Phones which are TBUs with SIMs in them (can't post a link but they're in the Canford catalogue.) I've never tried on but presumably they manage RF spill very effectively since they're designed to have mics plugged into them!@@ppmtv-qh9qk
Thanks Hugh - it would be good to get some mobile expertise on the matter. I wonder if it might be the use of different frequency bands as we progressed from 1G to 5G. 5G I think favours higher frequencies - above 3G, while 1G was at 900 MHz or 1800MHz. But then it might be better shielding in phones who knows! We did have the Glensound mobile kit - physically very rugged and well engineered as you would expect. Just didn't sound significantly better, in my experience anyway. Ta like, ppm6.
Thanks Johan, the beauty of the 416! I have to say I do like cats in laundry baskets! ua-cam.com/video/DiADCdL86jM/v-deo.htmlsi=nwnpsZ-yEGJMvHon Ta like, ppm6.

Top marks to both mics, I think though that modern mobile ‘phones are rather less of a problem with regard to intrusive RF than their predecessors.

I have a 416 and I love it. I never had any problems with either RF or humidity.
