gallente Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Heya. I've been asked to do a projection with allot of audio, but it has to go through the main sound system. Unfortunatly im positioned no-where near the sound desk. Is there anyway of sending the signal wirelessly? Its going from a laptop to a 1/4 jack socket. Yes we have thought about me sitting closer to the desk, but that wouldnt work for other reasons. Were looking at hiring, or buying if cheap. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I have a number of Lemo>XLR adapters for my radiomic's. This mean I can use a standard dynamic Mic' or - in cases like this couple it with a passive DI to send a line level out to my recievers. So that would work - however you should be concious of battery time on your transmitter. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallente Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 ah right cheers il look into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanG Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Or the other way around - use an IEM transmitter and receiver - which would dispense with the need for Lemo adaptors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 You can get 2.4GHz hi-fi and TV transmitter/receiver pairs for about £50, but I don't know how good the sound quality is. I've only used them for transmitting silent video, which they do quite well. Only problem is that they have limited channels - there's only four in the band and adjacent channels tend to interefere a little on the cheaper ones.

DSA Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Is there any real reason for discounting a longish XLR run?? Thats how we do it, with the suitable minijack to 1/4inch adaptor, and then 1/4inch to XLR. You say it is a distance - but wireless will lose quality after a fair way, won't it???? Just a thought,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gallente Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 Yeah we were going to run a long cable but that means it has to go under a VERY low door, seeing as im not in the control room, which im not happy about *ahem* :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Don't you have any facility for running audio lines from the stage to the control room? Mic tie lines? Amp lines? Comms lines? Anything? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallente Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 yeah we do but I didnt know if we could run through that. its an XLR connection. I dont know much about the sound set up, I just do the projections. ** laughs out loud **. so if we went out and got all the adaptars that should work then yeah? a 3.5mm out of the laptop into an XLR into the wall, then out of the wall with another XLR and into the desk with a 1.4 jack?

misterbassman Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Use a DI inbetween: 3.5mm - Jack into DIDI into wall socket - XLR-XLRWall socket at other end into desk - XLR - XLR Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
