00:07:12,220 --> 00:07:18,780 So we have a show that I'm a little bit nervous about. 215 00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:23,040 So we have a fallback show in case this one goes off the rails. 216 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,640 This one goes off the rails or we just realize we have no idea. 217 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,160 I'm going to admit we've been trying to put this show together for a while. 218 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,760 And as I've been trying to do the research, I'm realizing just how little I know about 219 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,400 radio frequencies. 220 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:53,700 Sound waves have always been curious to me because I feel like sound waves function differently 221 00:07:53,700 --> 00:08:00,640 than expected in a lot of circumstances. 222 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:13,920 You have really high frequency, high amplitude, low frequency, low amplitude, all these different 223 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:20,320 like words that describe waves and all of that. 224 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:29,480 And when you're talking about sound, I think it's normal to picture almost like ripples 225 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:37,520 in a pond or something like that, sound being created and then kind of going out in a bunch 226 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,000 of different directions from that. 227 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:51,680 But sound also operates, I don't know how to say that, like in a way that like a water 228 00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:56,400 wave wouldn't. 229 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:08,860 The fact that you can hear sounds through objects and in spite of the blocking of objects. 230 00:09:08,860 --> 00:09:15,480 Now there's some of that that has to do with the size of the wave. 231 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,080 Is it a wave or is it a particle? 232 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,320 I don't know, man. 233 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,640 They're bouncing into each other and also washing across. 234 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,800 Anyway, it's a bunch. 235 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:32,000 But as little time as I feel like I've even been able to spend with sound waves, I've 236 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,780 spent even less time with radio waves. 237 00:09:34,780 --> 00:09:39,580 And so there's some of this that I'm just kind of figuring out for myself. 238 00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:46,920 The reason this has come to mind is Sennheiser kind of hit the audio world or at least the 239 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:54,760 audio engineer world with a big old bombshell that I've got labeled here on our notes as 240 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:01,840 the Sennheiser bombshell, Spectera. 241 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:16,360 Now Spectera from the outside of it looks like a 1U audio rack, like a audio processor 242 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:26,820 could be a transmitter, could be a receiver, could just be one of those 1U rack mixers 243 00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:29,600 now that they have. 244 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:37,360 Turns out it's a little bit of all three and maybe a little bit more. 245 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:43,960 The big thing that it is bringing to the table that there's a few here, so we're going to 246 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,960 get to it. 247 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:53,560 But the big thing that just kind of broke everybody the first time it came out or it 248 00:10:53,560 --> 00:11:02,000 was released is what it is, is that this is a bi-directional box. 249 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:09,840 So this isn't just a transmitter and this isn't just a receiver, it's 32 in and 32 250 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,320 out wireless. 251 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,420 Now there's going to be a lot of things inside of this that's like, well of course it's that 252 00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:22,280 because it has to be that in order to be this thing. 253 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:35,160 But the idea that you could have a single box do all of your, not just wireless microphones 254 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:43,560 but all of your wireless in-ear monitors as well is like, it's a big deal. 255 00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:47,600 It's a big deal. 256 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,680 We haven't seen one of these in action, I haven't seen one of these in action, I haven't 257 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,680 gotten to play with one of these. 258 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:56,680 There's a few things that we'll talk about at the end of this little section that I think 259 00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:00,280 are things that we need to be watching for. 260 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,560 But Sennheiser has come out with a big old like innovation here and I mean we just got 261 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:09,380 to give them props for it. 262 00:12:09,380 --> 00:12:18,440 So the big like obvious thing is inside of this you've got a 1U rackable box, right? 263 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,240 You don't take up much space, you're not talking about, you know, they're there for a while 264 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:30,360 it was very common to have two like you would have a wireless transmitter, we'll just talk 265 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,240 about transmitters first, a wireless transmitter and it's about half a U, like it's a full 266 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,720 U but it's like half a rack space and then you would attach that to another one and so 267 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,280 in each 1U of rack space you could have two transmitters and then you just stack them 268 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,880 on top of each other. 269 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,040 Now the other part of that that's necessary then is for every about four of those that 270 00:12:52,040 --> 00:13:11,160 you put together you need to put an antenna, that's not a combiner, that's a, oh my gosh, 271 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:18,160 what's the other name for that? 272 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:24,200 I thought that was receivers, is it a combiner for the antenna for receivers too or for transmitters 273 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,200 too? 274 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:32,040 I'm sorry, I've been doing so much research here over the last few hours that my brain's 275 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:37,440 a little bit muddled but you also have the box that is then bringing all the transmitter 276 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,160 antennas together into one and then you can just use two actually. 277 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,160 And I would still consider that a combiner. 278 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:51,520 Yeah like that's so that's been really handy but it does require that you have three U's 279 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:58,520 of space and that still only gets you four transmitters. 280 00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,520 Correct. 281 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:07,760 Okay so then you know I think SURE is the first one that I saw do it, I actually haven't 282 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,600 researched because we use the SURE one here at the church. 283 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:19,480 There's a SURE 1U transmitter, or sorry, receiver. 284 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:27,720 There's a SURE 1U receiver that has four different receivers on it and so you could get multiples 285 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:35,400 of those and then combine them, the antennas for them and then you've got two antennas 286 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,280 servicing I think it's like 16. 287 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,440 So that by itself was like wow this is amazing. 288 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,780 Absolutely. 289 00:14:42,780 --> 00:14:49,280 You still would need, I think it's to daisy chain because you would daisy chain four of 290 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,240 them together that's 16. 291 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,360 You still would need five U's of space. 292 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,360 Correct. 293 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,040 So this is not only talking about being able to do all of that in one but it's taking all 294 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:11,840 of that and putting into 1U and then taking the other however many U's of space that you 295 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:18,760 would use for your in-ear monitors and putting that all into the 1U. 296 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,520 And then there is the ability, I'll talk about this in a second, there is the ability to 297 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,920 run it over four antennas just to have redundancy when you're using, when you're talking about 298 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:34,320 this wide band stuff I feel like you want as much redundancy in a bunch of these areas 299 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:42,960 as you can have but even with four antennas externally on the outside of this thing you're 300 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,560 talking about 1U of space. 301 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,560 Correct. 302 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:52,680 And to your point on the monitor depending on if you're mixing it for everybody or if 303 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,800 you're giving them their ability to mix then you would introduce another U to hit those 304 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,760 personal mixers on the stage. 305 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:13,320 Yeah, unless you do, which is now really popular as well, mixing from a smart device over actually 306 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:20,760 using your board's Wi-Fi controllability in order to mix that way in which case you don't 307 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:29,880 even need that extra U, you just, I mean, it gets a little bit bonkers. 308 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,400 You just need some extra RF in there in the form of Wi-Fi. 309 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:43,240 Yeah see and that's the thing is like, I think my initial, like my initial insight of this 310 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,280 and what made us want to start doing a lot of research before we even really talked about 311 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:54,800 it much on the show is like there's some fears involved with this and we're going to get 312 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,200 to that in a minute. 313 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,640 But not only do you have the 1U that's doing all of that, you also have one body pack on 314 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,560 each and I'm going to call them a performer because that's the best way to describe what 315 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,000 this is. 316 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:15,840 So a person can have one body pack that has both the output which is either their, you 317 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:22,320 know, microphone on their face or the, you know, input into their instrument or whatever 318 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,200 that looks like. 319 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:32,800 Now this isn't really going to work or we haven't seen any offering from Sennheiser 320 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:40,540 in any of this that would indicate that they would be able to do like a handheld with this 321 00:17:40,540 --> 00:17:42,600 setup and that makes sense. 322 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:48,320 Like you don't really want your in-ear headphones plugged into a microphone that you're holding 323 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,080 in your hand. 324 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,880 That would look a little strange. 325 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:59,560 But I don't know if they're going to figure out something that works for that situation 326 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:07,540 or for somebody who maybe is playing an instrument and doing something else but let's not get 327 00:18:07,540 --> 00:18:08,640 greedy here. 328 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,320 We're talking about a very important distinction and one of the things that didn't even, I 329 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:21,080 feel like this would be a little bit overkill given that there are better options and you're 330 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:27,440 not worried about how you look in this situation but this could also easily be used in a like 331 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:36,300 AV team situation where you have a boom mic on you and you have a boom mic on your face 332 00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:47,440 and you have a set of nice in-ears in your ear and as a technician at a live event you 333 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,120 are able to not only talk to your whole team but you're also able to listen to the whole 334 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:54,880 team inside of that. 335 00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:01,240 And it'd be pretty low key in terms of what it looks like you're carrying anyway. 336 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:07,440 But the single body pack also has both of those things included in it so the body packs 337 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,120 are transmitters and receivers. 338 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:15,280 Now you may automatically be starting to think about battery life but I don't want you to 339 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,480 go there quite yet because we've got to get to some of the other heavy hitters inside 340 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,860 of this. 341 00:19:22,860 --> 00:19:27,120 So that's a bi-directional part. 342 00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:33,640 It boasts that it has 11 audio link modes which you'll see in the show notes I'm like 343 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:43,240 I don't it drives me crazy when new technology tries to like find the way to like say something 344 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,740 simple but like when they release it with these bullet points of like talking points 345 00:19:47,740 --> 00:19:54,960 it's like I have no idea what an audio link module or audio link mode is. 346 00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:00,120 Best I can tell and I think this is correct so don't whatever. 347 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:04,640 They call these audio link module or modes they say that they control it is the control 348 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,160 of audio quality latency channel count and operating range. 349 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,560 The best I can guess or understand inside of it is that there's so much flexibility 350 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,480 inside of this design. 351 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,960 There's also because of the flexibility there are restraints on different things. 352 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:30,340 So if you want you know a higher channel count you may have to decrease some other options. 353 00:20:30,340 --> 00:20:38,680 If you want higher quality like audio quality you may have to come down on channel count 354 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,840 or operating range or something like that. 355 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:47,840 In order to make the system work the best for what you actually need there are a lot 356 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:56,960 of like levers to push and pull and so they've got basically 11 modes which are just presets 357 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,520 for that larger configuration of the box to kind of help you out. 358 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,440 Now I don't know if that's something that you start with and then you can tweak or if 359 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,680 the 11 modes are very like this is all that it is. 360 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,780 Now one of those would be very Apple and the other one would be very Windows. 361 00:21:12,780 --> 00:21:16,280 So correct I'm gonna let you guess which one Chris hopes that it is. 362 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,240 I okay I won't say it out loud. 363 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,240 Really? 364 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,680 If you want him to guess I won't say it out loud. 365 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,240 Okay that's fine. 366 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,160 Anyway so that's that that's the 11 audio link modes. 367 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,520 I feel like that's a pretty good understanding and also gives us a better understanding of 368 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:44,720 the box itself in that with all of this capability there's gonna be some like oh you're gonna 369 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,160 like you you need to be aware of this when you're doing this. 370 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:55,680 Yeah there's gonna be trade-offs I mean you can't just have all the things be exceptional. 371 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,040 You've got if you want to your point if you want something to sound better you've got 372 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,960 to give something up. 373 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:11,520 Yeah can't have the what's the what's the trifecta there the quality speed and affordability 374 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:19,680 mm-hmm always always always in AV and IT there's always a trade-off between those three things. 375 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,560 Unless you have bottomless pockets. 376 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,800 Well that's the that's the affordability like it doesn't mean that you can't afford it it 377 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,800 just means that if you want quality and you want it fast you're gonna pay for it. 378 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:35,680 Not all three of those sliders can be down at the same time. 379 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:42,680 Okay so real quick because this is I didn't actually put this in the notes but I should 380 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:50,040 have before we move on past this I do want to like we've talked a little bit about like 381 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:57,560 we talked about the like the I think they call it the base station or something like 382 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,560 that. 383 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,560 Yes. 384 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:06,440 The body pack and the antenna we've talked about all of those things of course those 385 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:14,280 are parts of this system that they had to come out with they made they made a broadband 386 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,080 antenna because that's not what we've had before and we'll talk about that as well in 387 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,080 a second. 388 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:26,640 They had the stationary device which is the rack mounted like one you piece of gear looks 389 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,540 similar to what we've seen before but is not in really any way and then the combined body 390 00:23:31,540 --> 00:23:37,160 pack all of those three at least have some semblance of what we've seen both in transmitters 391 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:43,200 and receivers in the past but they also in order to do all of this and again I'm talking 392 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:49,860 about this right after I talk about the audio link modes on purpose because the other part 393 00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:57,200 that they had to do was create a system or a way to control it and if you know one new 394 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,000 devices you know on device control of that one new device is like the worst thing in 395 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,620 the world so they made a software called link desk link desk is a software runs on both 396 00:24:10,620 --> 00:24:24,080 Mac and PC and it is how you are controlling not only the modes but making sure that your 397 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:35,880 frequencies are picked well that you that you have your wireless it's funny like that 398 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:44,520 you have your wireless connection to your wireless connectors and then just all the 399 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:53,260 other like levers that you can push and pull on this thing oh I think I said link deck 400 00:24:53,260 --> 00:24:59,240 link I think it's link desk yep sorry about that they do have one funny thing on the page 401 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,320 okay in particular because we're talking about software yeah if you scroll down past features 402 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,920 in the little video mm-hmm and I'm gonna make a movie reference here because of what their 403 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:14,280 wording says and there's a section called right under the video uh-huh there's a section 404 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:20,560 in there called what's in the box why would there be a box for software you're gonna download 405 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:26,680 it it's the installer for Windows and the installer for Mac that's funny there's no 406 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:36,760 box there's no box I mean you can call your computer a box I guess so anyway what's in 407 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:49,200 the box yeah what's in the box good job yeah I like it so the link link desk software pretty 408 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:58,320 cool it says that you get an intuitive workflow I mean we'll be the judge of that I anytime 409 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,880 somebody says that I'm like okay for your for your engineer correct well that doesn't 410 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:11,440 make sense to anybody else mm-hmm but so intuitive workflow you have remote control which I mean 411 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:19,680 it's just yep monitoring and monitoring capabilities so when they say that I don't know if they 412 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:27,480 mean levels on the like being able to see the levels on your computer for each one or 413 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:34,520 if they're talking about actually being able to hear now I would imagine that if they're 414 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,880 talking about actually being able to hear what the artist can like if you can choose 415 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,720 on site and if you can plug it into your headphones because you wouldn't want to do this over 416 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,120 your computer speakers that's not gonna help you at all but if you can plug into your headphones 417 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:54,240 on your computer if you can you know run through your MUDAC or whatever you know converter 418 00:26:54,240 --> 00:27:01,400 you have to be able to have the highest quality option of this if you can then listen to what 419 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:10,520 your artist is listening to or listen to the the raw signal from each input I feel like 420 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,760 that's a that's a big step there's no way that they're doing that without latency I 421 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,520 would agree I mean it may not be huge but they're not they're talking about they're 422 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:29,440 talking about the latency being so low in this being point seven I don't I don't think 423 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:35,040 you're getting point seven if you're if you're listening to to the audio through a computer 424 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:46,120 that's remotely connected to the to the one you box but you also have visibility on the 425 00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:51,840 I am volume so you can see how loud each person has you see the latency that they're dealing 426 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:59,600 with you see the audio level and settings RF health which is we'll get to that in a 427 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:09,520 minute battery status and more so there's some there's some pretty cool stuff that they're 428 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:17,520 doing here and they've also got some automation inside of it that they're again we'll see 429 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:28,120 like everybody everybody's making these premix like EQ for dummies setups and stuff like 430 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:32,600 that and there's some of that that I'm like okay I can understand how a computer like 431 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:41,940 I I very much understand how a computer can tell you whether or not the gain is too high 432 00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:48,120 like that that seems like you just say if the level hits here the gain is too high I 433 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:54,520 want you to adjust it and I want you to do it on a in a very dynamic way so I I don't 434 00:28:54,520 --> 00:29:02,920 I don't have any problem trusting a computer to do that but trusting EQ is a different 435 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:09,360 thing and it seems like it would just be probably setting presets on EQs more than anything 436 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,720 else sure I can see where they could have a preset for somebody that has a really deep 437 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:21,000 bassy voice I can come across muddy yeah put the high pass filter yeah on that or I mean 438 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,960 somebody who's got some real simple symbol symbolence right sybilence sybilence I always 439 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,080 get them wrong yeah that it could know hey I need to make an adjustment for that mm-hmm 440 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:35,600 beyond that yeah you're gonna get into things where the presets may not be what you want 441 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:42,120 to okay so in in in a lot of other transmitters and I think receivers or sorry in a lot of 442 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:48,920 other receivers and I think transmitters especially the high-end ones we've had before the ability 443 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:57,680 to do spectrum analysis obviously for a while you can do like and this is simple in most 444 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:03,080 situations like you just see the scan button on your device and it would do a scan and 445 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:10,440 see if anything's you know super loud and by loud I mean high amplitude on any given 446 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:18,880 range of in the spectrum but this also has that but you got to remember like one of the 447 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:25,540 like huge pluses to this is that both your transmitters and your receiver both your transmitters 448 00:30:25,540 --> 00:30:33,600 and your receivers are being controlled in both directions by the same device so not 449 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:42,700 only are you not having to worry about buying the same you know wireless band for your all 450 00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:51,640 of your receivers or transmitters but you're also not having to worry about what that then 451 00:30:51,640 --> 00:31:00,120 affects in terms of your your you know in-air monitor receivers and transmitters and it's 452 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:09,080 like this is huge to be to be controlled by the same thing to not have to have some sort 453 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:17,320 of go between between them or to you know have to run you know a big fancy big fancy 454 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:22,360 they're never big but the the really fancy scanners that you can that you can buy for 455 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:28,720 wireless analysis that's even better than the ones that are equipped in the devices 456 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:36,560 like that I mean it's a big deal to not have to do that part of what it is they had to 457 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:49,360 come up again with another acronym for their new technology that they're calling W mass 458 00:31:49,360 --> 00:32:03,200 will mass yep insert joke here insert joke here but it seems to be wireless multi-channel 459 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:09,840 audio and then all I've ever seen next to that is technology so we've got technology 460 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:18,160 on our notes here but anyway more and more more jokes I guess I didn't want well Matt 461 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:25,120 I guess I don't know but they were trying to bring in the ass at least for Sennheiser 462 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:37,920 audio in highs audio technology signal audio something yeah and so when mass be careful 463 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:51,120 there it is is a single wide band RF carrier so this is where you start like breaking your 464 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:57,560 brain a little bit if you're not already a an RF guy correct so do you want to talk 465 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:04,680 a little bit about wide band and narrow band do you know not in this regard I don't okay 466 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:12,280 so we mean not in this regard for wireless speaker or not speakers wireless microphone 467 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:18,600 yeah no I know what wide band is obviously for internet okay so talk to me about that 468 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,440 because it's probably the same thing wide band is now actually kind of technically dictated 469 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:28,920 by the FCC they determine the minimum rate that is qualified as wide band used to be 470 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:38,680 the same as broadband yes so it used to be even if you go back far enough I mean it was 471 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:45,920 not much more than a dial-up modem was considered wide band I feel like in the most recent change 472 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:55,720 that they made it's in the 250 to 300 megabit is now what they're qualifying is is a wide 473 00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:07,200 band broadband so some a lot of us are no longer qualify for that wide band if I had 474 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:13,360 to take a stab at this just has to do maybe it's similar to the concept of Wi-Fi where 475 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:20,880 they're taking channels that are next to each other and literally treating them as one larger 476 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:26,680 channel for more more bandwidth more throughput that would be my guess at what they're trying 477 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:38,520 to what they're doing here without having more to read okay so from what I can understand 478 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:51,280 you know you have the UHF which is the ultra high frequency correct you have in the weird 479 00:34:51,280 --> 00:35:00,920 owl movie sorry my brain was trying to process something else and then that hit me I was 480 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:11,520 like oh my gosh okay and then so UHF and VHF I think are the ones very high and ultra high 481 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:24,200 yeah very high and ultra ultra high are lower frequency signals or lower bands than this 482 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:36,800 level right the best or not the best the the like phrase that keeps coming or not phrase 483 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:45,440 the the descriptor that keeps being used for this next level is called 1g4 makes perfect 484 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:55,280 sense like when you said 1g h like 1 gigahertz I was like oh that would make sense maybe 485 00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:03,340 that's just a typo no 1g4 is what they're calling it this feels a lot like when Apple 486 00:36:03,340 --> 00:36:13,960 decided that like 3 and 3g and whatever was not going to refer to the band that it was 487 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:21,640 on but instead was going to refer to the phone correct no you can't what is going on so then 488 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:30,400 you get a you know year where you got to jump to 10 even though you're actually at 8 yep 489 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:43,000 all kinds of stuff going on there in my brain but so this one this 1g4 is like okay so the 490 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:53,040 this device can use UHF or and I think probably and from some of the things that I'm reading 491 00:36:53,040 --> 00:37:05,800 UHF and or 1g4 UHF is in the 470 to 608 megahertz range or the 630 to 698 megahertz range is 492 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:16,440 that right I believe so yes and again this is all classified by not classified but like 493 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:34,240 dictated by the FCC 1g4 is like 1350 to 1400 or 1435 to 1525 yeah and so to me again that's 494 00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:39,600 the 1gigahertz range yeah even though they're saying 1g4 right and that's what I'm saying 495 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:46,560 like I'm not really sure exactly this feels bleeding edge to me in so many ways like I 496 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,520 don't know how much of this is what they're calling it and it's not actually going to 497 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:58,200 be called that like we don't we don't have they needed another marketing term to go along 498 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:05,100 with this technology yeah what's the other one that didn't didn't make it the blu-ray 499 00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:16,880 beat out HD DVD HD DVDs which HD DVDs made so much more sense in terms of what it was 500 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:22,080 being called anyway yeah but blu-ray was the superior product yeah and had the name is 501 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:29,040 what mattered just like beta max was better than VHS I mean there you go but that didn't 502 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:36,680 matter no okay so you've got this this range or these two ranges that this product can 503 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,360 use now this is where it gets a little bit hairy because I don't I don't fully understand 504 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:49,040 and we're gonna attach the to these show notes we're we are going to attach the spec sheets 505 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:59,440 that were on the bottom of that so it seems like you've got these up to 64 channels it's 506 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:07,680 32 and 32 out but 64 channels and that matters because you've got 64 different channels correct 507 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:16,680 you can't send on the same channel that you're receiving in this like it's different information 508 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:27,400 yes so you are not you're not sending you know 40 channels of audio you're you know 509 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,920 you're you're sending one channel of audio you're receiving from your body pack you're 510 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:39,120 receiving you know probably somewhere in the range of 40 channels all mixed together and 511 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:44,160 maybe then that's 80 channels because it's over two different anyway it's two channels 512 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:55,000 but you know what I mean it allows for up to two independent wideband RF channels in 513 00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:04,560 UHF or 1g4 it keeps saying six to eight megahertz next to 1g4 I don't know what to do with that 514 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:12,980 like is that the width of the channel I mean that's what it would be again thinking in 515 00:40:12,980 --> 00:40:18,440 terms of Wi-Fi yeah you've got a 20 megahertz channel a 40 megahertz and 80 megahertz of 516 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:25,360 160 no that's that's got to be exactly what it says because it talks about how you get 517 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:30,000 again this is part of that like configurability mess hold on let me find my notes real quick 518 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:46,000 you get this is down here a little bit where did I put that yeah you get 40 channel diversity 519 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:53,760 like you get 40 options at 8 megahertz you get 30 options at 6 megahertz doesn't that 520 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,640 seem like it's it would be reversed I would have expected the opposite yeah more megahertz 521 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:11,080 means more bandwidth in theory yeah so I don't know if that means because the the 8 megahertz 522 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:16,920 is bigger yes yeah think of it obviously think of it in terms of lanes yeah you can argue 523 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:23,680 that 8 megahertz is 8 lanes and 6 megahertz is 6 lanes so it would make sense or at least 524 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:28,720 if we're comparing it like we are to Wi-Fi that if you have more lanes than you have 525 00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:37,360 less options so I don't know what's going on with the 40x maybe I just read that wrong 526 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:46,160 I don't think so though that's not like me at all sorry that was a joke okay vastly more 527 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,920 resistant to dropouts from RF fading than traditional narrowband systems via innovative 528 00:41:50,920 --> 00:42:02,960 Sennheiser WMAS technology equal to 40 times diversity that's at the 8 megahertz and 30 529 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:10,720 times diversity at 6 megahertz so I wrote it down right okay but I'm not sure exactly 530 00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:15,800 what they're talking about with that now I need more detail okay again like we're we're 531 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:22,400 just like this is right at the beginning of this it feels like I don't it's not even released 532 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:29,240 is it like hold on let me see if I can buy it you can you can pre-order it there you 533 00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:34,280 go somebody may have one but we don't have one send us something in Sennheiser even if 534 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:39,060 it's just no more material I yeah more more material would be great I don't really know 535 00:42:39,060 --> 00:42:42,720 that I want to mess with one of these because I'm afraid I would break it yeah and we'll 536 00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:57,400 talk about that in a second oh I do want to put that information on there dadgummit okay 537 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,840 so there's there's a lot there there's there's no cross-frequency worry though and there's 538 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:09,720 no antenna like placement guessing involved because you're not trying to put these systems 539 00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:18,640 next to each other it's one system and the the device itself is doing the cross-frequency 540 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:24,800 worrying for you it's not gonna let you put something on a frequency that's you know being 541 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:32,440 interfered with with its own stuff maybe I'm an idiot but it still feels like antenna placement 542 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,440 is still important antenna placement is still important but it's not important it's not 543 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:46,000 as important like that you keep the antennas away from another set of antennas a nearby 544 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,760 you know neighbor that could cause an issue yeah okay you're supposed to keep even the 545 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:56,280 even the ones that are related like if you've got if you've got a Wi-Fi you don't or not 546 00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:02,600 Wi-Fi if you've got a wireless system and you've got two external antennas you don't 547 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:07,040 want to put them right next to each other not only are you beating yourself over the 548 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:12,400 head because they're getting the exact same look at the body pack or whatever it is or 549 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:22,480 handheld or you know that's that's kind of a no-brainer there is the like okay it is 550 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,120 actually like the box is having to switch between these antennas and if they're too 551 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,880 similar to each other I mean how often is it switching you're gonna increase your probability 552 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:39,960 of some sort of drop inside of that or at least a signal degradation or it not knowing 553 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:46,720 which anyway all of that so yes but as long as you've got some distance to play with if 554 00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:51,400 they're all coming from the same thing like there's very little worry in terms of antenna 555 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:59,960 placement in regards to that and they're all like I said controlled by that same box that 556 00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:06,600 you can then look at in one window we've talked about the one window like magical feeling 557 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:12,000 with unify so many times before like that you've got that one window to look at all 558 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:21,520 of these things together link desk being the accompanying software component of the config 559 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:26,960 it's got some really important redundancies inside of this there's redundancy on power 560 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,920 which is really important and we'll talk more about power here in a second it's got signal 561 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:37,000 redundancy you not only have Dante you've got Maddie it's it's interesting to me I'm 562 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,240 not sure many people are going to actually run those side-by-side but maybe maybe if 563 00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:47,640 you're using this type of system that's exactly what you're doing I don't know and then you've 564 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:53,760 got four antenna you're not probably going to be utilizing all four antenna at the same 565 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,560 like the system is not going to be doing that but the fact that you can plug for antenna 566 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:04,520 into this one you box just has got to be a peace of mind thing like I said it's got it's 567 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:15,320 boasting point seven milliseconds latency here the like things we got to look for inside 568 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:24,120 of this whenever it comes out really in mind thought process this is we've already gone 569 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:40,240 45 minutes this wide band in order to do wide band it's got to use more power there's a 570 00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:46,000 couple of reasons for this but the biggest reason in my mind has to do with noise which 571 00:46:46,000 --> 00:47:00,360 is the audio guys biggest competitor naturally the idea that we're using any equipment that 572 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,840 is powered or whatever means that there's always going to be a noise floor that we're 573 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,440 battling we want when you're listening to this podcast we want you to be able to hear 574 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:18,600 our voices and not hear you don't want to hear the room or whatever the thing is no 575 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:23,480 AC you just don't want that you don't want to you don't want to hear the wind across 576 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:30,120 the thing but you don't like them electronic noise is why good bass players are hard to 577 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:37,560 find man they they are terrible at finding their own noise but that noise floor because 578 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:47,800 you have a wider band that noise floor is closer to the level it is harder to closer 579 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,720 to the level that's not that's not a good way to put that because that has to do with 580 00:47:51,720 --> 00:48:04,640 amplitude the the noise floor is harder to pull out of the signal using a filter true 581 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:15,200 and it's your you're going across more frequencies so it's harder to just dismiss the noise that's 582 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:20,080 not in that frequency so there's there's a few things that play here but what it means 583 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:25,960 is you always like you have to power that signal you have to put more power into that 584 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:33,080 signal to push it higher to then be able to compensate for the note noise floor and that 585 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:38,520 signal to noise ratio whenever it reaches is going to be distinguishable like that we 586 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:45,480 can see the signal over that like the signal amplitude over the noise amplitude yes and 587 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:51,080 again the distance that that's traveling also plays a part in it now wide band is supposed 588 00:48:51,080 --> 00:49:02,520 to go further than narrow band okay I I I really wasn't expecting that either but in 589 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:09,680 researching it that's a thing interesting I would have thought wide band would be not 590 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:14,800 as far not as far thinking and I'm thinking I'm thinking in terms of ham radio yeah because 591 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:22,000 you hear about shortwave yeah going all the way around the world right and that just has 592 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:30,240 to do with the fact that as the frequency goes down it requires less power right to 593 00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:35,160 push it yeah and so I would have thought the same thing here UHF would require less power 594 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:42,160 to go a given distance whereas 1 gigahertz or 1g4 requires more power to push that the 595 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:50,000 same distance yeah that's what I would have thought too in fact if you look at the difference 596 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,680 between UHF and VHF a lot of time they're going to reference the fact that if you are 597 00:49:54,680 --> 00:50:01,840 using something outside with a clear line of sight then VHF is a better choice than 598 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:08,160 UHF because it will travel farther but what they're saying inside of this is that because 599 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:18,080 wide band is that bigger wave or whatever it it will actually go through more in order 600 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:27,480 to hit its target now if you've ever driven up next to somebody listening to rap music 601 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:34,380 in their car you know that where you may be able to hear a high-pitched noise from further 602 00:50:34,380 --> 00:50:40,800 away if there is an obstacle between you and that thing it is actually more likely for 603 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:46,800 you to hear a rumble true than for you to hear the high pitch you're you're this true 604 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:53,880 this guy is obviously listening to music but all it sounds like from the outside is exactly 605 00:50:53,880 --> 00:51:00,320 yeah so like there's this there's this like it goes further because there are always going 606 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:06,160 to be obstacles in the way I guess that's what they're saying I don't really know but 607 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,480 again this is this is one of those things now wide the wide band is really important 608 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:19,120 because the wide band is necessary to have the amount of data that's being that this 609 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:30,200 thing is trying to send that's that's happening inside of this really ridiculous piece of 610 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:35,440 equipment that we're talking about here yes we're going to include a lot of different 611 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:43,440 things on here but the biggest the biggest catch inside of this by far is the price for 612 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:53,040 most of us so that single base station costs ten thousand dollars now mic drop you may 613 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:58,320 be saying to yourself John it does not cost ten thousand dollars I would have been saying 614 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:13,040 self self maybe saying to yourself some really bad things crap that's the tame version yeah 615 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:20,040 ten it only costs nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine dollars you so why'd you 616 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:32,160 round it up because taxes I'm just saying I don't see how I mean again if tax on nine 617 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:36,160 thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars was one penny I would pay that tax yeah I 618 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:41,920 know for sure so what I'm saying is at least ten thousand true maybe if you get a discount 619 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:50,600 it'll be ten thousand it's not going to be nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars 620 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,400 though holy cow it is sixteen hundred dollars for one antenna you're going to need at least 621 00:52:54,400 --> 00:53:08,800 two of those and then the body packs hold on I had this a second ago oh I don't want 622 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:16,600 the body pack so it the this body pack no that's right it's showing the body pack with 623 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:24,480 with a set of headphones and a microphone that's that's got to have some stuff on it 624 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:30,520 that says not included what's in the box yeah wait a minute what's in the box no I don't 625 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:35,760 you had it right the first time yeah no I'm trying to figure out if it actually does have 626 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:41,920 it I don't think so I wouldn't think so no no okay so the but the body pack which is 627 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:47,280 pictured with a set of headphones which look likes yeah those are Sennheiser I was like 628 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:56,720 are those sure because that would be hilarious it's got like a over ear microphone and set 629 00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:06,520 of Sennheiser earbuds but that's listed at one thousand nine hundred ninety nine or yeah 630 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,920 one thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars and zero cents so two thousand dollars for 631 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:17,680 that that's just one of those did that at least include the battery probably not it 632 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:25,000 I guarantee that they will send you two double A batteries with it really oh yeah they're 633 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:31,840 gonna send you two double A batteries with it hmm so you get one shot at this that's 634 00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:41,120 dirty yeah no you if you want the if you want the rechargeable batteries and the and the 635 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:46,120 charging station and everything like that rather they are going to charge you for that 636 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:52,600 that's true although on their page they do show that yeah it's a little portable to you 637 00:54:52,600 --> 00:55:00,600 the base station on the top the wireless charging packs on the bottom looks really really nice 638 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:06,640 I'm telling you like they this is slick it is and if you like if you really think about 639 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:15,200 how many wireless transmitters and receivers you have to buy like if you if you look at 640 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:23,760 even if even if you just do even if you just like you just budget you know seven hundred 641 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:32,040 dollars per body pack or transmitter like that's still fourteen hundred dollars and 642 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,640 you're talking about two thousand dollars for this combined one it's not out of the 643 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:40,720 range and if you this is their highest end product if you're talking about the highest 644 00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:46,720 end body packs and receivers or and transmitters you're you're well over a thousand dollars 645 00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:50,560 for each of those well sure I mean anybody who's investing in this knows they're just 646 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:56,380 dropping a ton of cash yeah because you're getting again with that base station you're 647 00:55:56,380 --> 00:56:03,680 getting thirty two in and thirty two out that's ridiculous there's stages that don't like 648 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:11,640 we don't you know they don't have that many inputs in them and correct holy cow so plenty 649 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,760 of stages that don't have that yeah so it I mean it really is quite a thing for ten 650 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:21,680 thousand dollars for one part of it again you're gonna spend way more than that but 651 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:28,840 I really do think like that that is like that sticker shock of that goes away when you realize 652 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:35,280 how much you're taking out of your system in order to put this thing in I'm not saying 653 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:40,680 it's cheap because it's not cheap the higher power consumption I wanted to talk a little 654 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:48,160 bit about because it is going to take a toll on your because we talked about more noise 655 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:53,360 signal which is the higher power consumption as well but the higher power consumption is 656 00:56:53,360 --> 00:57:03,360 going to take a toll on your body packs because those are run by little bitty batteries and 657 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:10,320 where you may be used to getting a few sessions or whatever out of a battery you I doubt you're 658 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:16,800 going to get that now they have made like these rechargeable batteries and these packs 659 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:23,640 that they put in they have made considerable gains in that realm they're still not as I 660 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:29,200 don't think they're as strong as the you know fresh out of the pack double A's or something 661 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:38,360 like that but you just like it you you make that money back easily with recharging them 662 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:46,780 and they tend to last long enough to make them useful you know what I mean yeah so that's 663 00:57:46,780 --> 00:57:53,720 side of it is is great and it also makes sense why the power redundancy is extra important 664 00:57:53,720 --> 00:58:01,400 on the almost said link desk that's not what I meant the base station whatever they're 665 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:09,000 calling it side yeah and that's not because like a normal system wouldn't go down if you 666 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:16,680 had a you know a spike or a drop in power but if you're just seeing like browning that's 667 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:22,880 happening or something like that that would be pretty horrendous for this absolutely machine 668 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,760 and it seems like there's there's some thought put into like oh we need to make sure that 669 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:33,560 the power is right yeah so there's there's all kinds of stuff involved in this and I 670 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:39,240 think that they've really done their due diligence this immediately made me think of something 671 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:46,960 that I saw I have 64 audio nice I had to interrupt what is that this is the Mexican logger okay 672 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:51,400 so we get to see what the Mexican logger is like well I do you get to see what the Mexican 673 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:56,880 I I get to see on your face what the Mexican logger could be so real quick yeah Mexican 674 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:06,080 style logger this Mexican style logger is a bright and refreshing pilsner and with flaked 675 00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:13,600 maze the base ingredients impart a neutral sweet note up front with a very dry flavor 676 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:21,080 in the finish this brew is easy drinking and very well balanced you will surely find yourself 677 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:30,720 asking for uno mas uh-huh I see what they did there okay okay it's uh it's a lot lighter 678 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:36,640 than I prefer but let's see what we're looking at yeah I'm looking at that and I'm like oh 679 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:44,000 did I just open up a can of water yeah this black quad is very dark oh yes it is and that's 680 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:52,480 that's my cup of tea so here we go cheers cheers oh I'm giving you the face hold on 681 00:59:52,480 --> 01:00:02,200 contemplating oh no no no the nose curled there's something there what is that it's 682 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:10,160 beer Chris what are you talking about I'm trying to express yourself there's something 683 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:16,520 in the flavor I mean use your words that's the problem I can't find the word I'm a simpleton 684 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,960 I have few words I'm a simpleton and it's the end of the day I've used up almost all 685 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:30,040 my words yeah I know I get that I don't know what it is okay you think about it for a little 686 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:35,040 while I'm going to talk about this 64 audio thing go ahead so I have 64 audio is a um 687 01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:44,960 in-ear monitor maker manufacturer thank you and 64 audio is who did the I've had two different 688 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:51,800 sets of their custom in-ear molds because I mean they're just I think that they're fantastic 689 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:58,480 I don't I don't think that I've ever experienced something quite as good as being able to hear 690 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:07,840 audio with custom in-ear molds it's a different level if you're a professional audio person 691 01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:13,120 of any kind I would suggest if you're an audiophile and have money to burn I would suggest it 692 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:18,040 the reason I suggested for professionals is like this is a tool that you use every single 693 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:24,880 day like you should have a nice one I just think that that's the case so when I was on 694 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,800 their site one time I looked at the accessories and I was looking at I was trying to figure 695 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:41,200 out if they had a longer cable for the monitors that I had and they did but as I was there 696 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:50,960 I also noticed that they had this thing and I was like what is that and it sure is a TRRS 697 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:58,800 tool that doesn't just have like the microphone built into the cable they have that so you 698 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:08,400 can use it with your phone to take your phone calls okay but this one has a boom mic coming 699 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:18,000 out of the attachment to the headphones so on one of your ears you would have a boom 700 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:27,920 mic then coming down and I was like where the crap are you gonna use that because like 701 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:34,640 are you serious that's that's what you need for a telephone call but oh Siri just thought 702 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:42,200 I was talking to her that's fun what an idiot stop it Siri yeah okay it didn't come up that 703 01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:49,360 time so I was like that's a lot of mic for a phone call so I was thinking okay maybe 704 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:55,720 maybe it's like a talkback situation like we talked about with being able to do with 705 01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:01,660 this new specterra system y'all are about to get a verdict and it's not looking good 706 01:03:01,660 --> 01:03:07,840 for the old Mexican lager over there but I was like okay so maybe they're thinking like 707 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:13,160 a talkback situation like if they're if if you have a you know I don't know what all 708 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:21,860 the connectors look like for talkback like your I say talk back you like your comm systems 709 01:03:21,860 --> 01:03:31,960 for your team but if you had if you had one that could accept a TRRS situation then this 710 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:36,800 would be really cool because you could have your like super high quality in-ear monitors 711 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:43,320 and you could have this super high quality microphone it looks like and it's just plugging 712 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:56,400 in over a normal you know eighth inch headphone jack but I was like what if they saw this 713 01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:06,680 coming what if this was the like you know they did this right before and specterra did 714 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:12,760 this because if you ask me like there's the only problem with having the body pack attached 715 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:18,040 to or your body pack for your in-ear monitors attached to your body pack or being the same 716 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:26,400 body pack for your over-the-ear microphone is that you don't want both of those things 717 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:34,360 on your ear at the same time but if you had one solution for that that they were actually 718 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:38,320 going through the same cable now the reason that I don't think that's actually what happened 719 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:44,200 here is number one timing number two the cable that they came out with does not have two 720 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:56,280 different ends on it it's got it has a TRRS not a TRS and a another TS is that this picture 721 01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:05,480 here that you've got yeah that's what that is that's the 64 audio I don't know headworn 722 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:12,400 microphone cable for their in-ear monitors okay but part of that is not this boom mic 723 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:16,640 that you're referring to what do you mean I mean just looking at this I mean none of 724 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:22,400 this it doesn't have the earphones attached oh wait wait wait so those connectors that 725 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:28,040 go into the headphones that long swoop is the boom mic that's the microphone yeah that 726 01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:34,280 looks like the talkback mic on a digital board talkback mic on our digital or maybe not talkback 727 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:45,840 but what did they call it it looks like a countryman to me that looks like a lot more 728 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:52,200 than a countryman it's thicker but it's not that much thicker what do you I can't think 729 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,640 of the name of this stupid thing on the board where you could actually use the producer 730 01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:00,680 could speak in and everybody can hear you yes no that is a talkback mic okay there you 731 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:06,440 go yes it's that that looks like a very flex I almost said lavalier that's not what it 732 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:14,800 is like a pulpit mic yeah yeah exactly there's a name for those and I'm blanking but it is 733 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:20,600 like that I give you that but it is smaller than that I promise okay so the scale just 734 01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:25,800 doesn't yeah make it fair okay because what plugs into those double prongs on the ends 735 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:35,200 are little headphones about the size of a quarter in okay fair circumference or whatever 736 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:42,280 not so yeah sure why not circumference but it sure had me going that was funny I had 737 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:46,560 to give sure a shout out because we use sure more than we use Sennheiser so I was like 738 01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:52,600 what what are they doing yeah you know you see something like Sony comes out with this 739 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:57,520 amazing full-frame camera and you're like Canon what's up and they're like just give 740 01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:08,000 us ten years and we'll get there so sure sure enough has not done anything in this area 741 01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:13,600 what they've been spending their time on is doubling down on the axiant line which is 742 01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:21,840 their higher quality digital offering and making sure that they are doing you know well 743 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:30,080 that's five years man exactly like let's not call these the same thing not the same thing 744 01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:35,640 they're definitely still in the where they've been which is great like I don't I don't like 745 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:43,200 number one even with this huge leap that Sennheiser is making number one we have not seen it succeed 746 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:47,480 no on a consistent basis so I don't want to pretend like hey let's all jump in on this 747 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:54,720 like we got to see what this actually is but we're sure seems to be doing that stuff right 748 01:07:54,720 --> 01:08:01,880 now is the axiant line they came out with a copycat of the road and DJI small microphone 749 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:08,820 like dual microphone with a single receiver yeah system which they call their move mic 750 01:08:08,820 --> 01:08:12,680 yeah and then a lot of their innovation it seems like we're sure right now seems to be 751 01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:19,800 very focused on small room conference room setup so small room meaning like meaning like 752 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:25,200 classroom and then conference room meaning like multiple people talking on a single call 753 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:32,440 or something like that and I think that this is like this is a fantastic use of sure's 754 01:08:32,440 --> 01:08:38,960 innovation because between the microflex wireless and the next system which is what they're 755 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:49,240 calling that other thing they they they seem to be aware that so much like one of the things 756 01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:53,040 that I hate about our system that we have right here just trying to record ourselves 757 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:58,000 is how many wires are going across the table they're like wireless microphones are important 758 01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:05,200 for people even though we're not really necessarily worried about amplification we're worried 759 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:14,000 about transmission and we're worried about recording and so you want high quality stuff 760 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:20,320 that's not necessarily worried about like the big venue it's worried about the or not 761 01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:25,060 worried about but concerned with the big venue it's more concerned with the small venue it's 762 01:09:25,060 --> 01:09:30,840 more concerned with the daily what I would call daily use but you know what I mean it's 763 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:35,160 not necessarily daily use but like in a classroom it sure is they're going for the big 764 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:42,280 bigger piece of the market yes Sennheiser is their their option is hitting very specific 765 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:47,680 customers yeah and I would say Sennheiser also did come out with their what do they 766 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:55,000 call it profile wireless two-channel microphone system everybody's got one of these now I 767 01:09:55,000 --> 01:10:00,560 still like DJI's Rhodes is great don't get me wrong but like I don't know if it's just 768 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:07,000 the like form factor of the DJI it's just anyway how Rhodes connects with their other 769 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:15,360 offerings is by far the but it's an ecosystem thing anyway but the you can check out the 770 01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:20,040 micro flex and the next systems I think both of those are really good I think it's good 771 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:27,400 eyes towards how much focus right now is on content recording or content creation or like 772 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:34,440 the classroom the classroom to me is everything the fact that the fact that we still like 773 01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:39,720 we want to feel like every time I'm in a meeting that we've got to bring somebody in remotely 774 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:46,780 to I'm always so dissatisfied with that there's no like there's you never have what you need 775 01:10:46,780 --> 01:10:50,480 for that setup they never have what they need for that setup you never have on your end 776 01:10:50,480 --> 01:10:54,480 what you need for that setup and the fact that they're like no like conference rooms 777 01:10:54,480 --> 01:10:59,040 we should be able to do this well and so they really put some thought into that and I think 778 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:04,720 that those are great offerings it's just not quite the innovation that we're seeing from 779 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:10,960 Sennheiser in this ridiculous thing that they've just come out with which has taken up this 780 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:22,280 entire show that's okay I don't I don't think that we completely lost our reputability in 781 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:29,000 this but like I please like when you when you find out things that we said that were 782 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:34,800 not quite right or something be merciful there's a lot here that we're trying to figure out 783 01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:43,040 and again like I said I'm not a I wish I was a ham radio operator I wish I knew more about 784 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:50,880 wireless or RF you know transmissions and stuff like that yep I feel like I'm gonna 785 01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:56,840 have to learn it yeah well I applaud you for picking a show that allowed me to essentially 786 01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:01,560 fill my belly full of pretzels and fill in the gaps with the beer bro I'm not done with 787 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:05,920 my like I'm not even halfway done with my beer I've been talking this entire time exactly 788 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:11,240 I'm just kind of sat back and chilled and just in the sidekick well thanks sidekick 789 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:18,080 appreciate you you got anything to add it's an amazing product I would really love to 790 01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:23,880 see Sennheiser put more information out yeah about how they're truly handling the wireless 791 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:29,920 aspect of this product yeah I'm hopeful that they will once the product goes officially 792 01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:37,200 on sale mm-hmm I think it'd be certainly worth revisiting the wireless aspect of this 793 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:45,440 mm-hmm to know what they're doing and especially this oddity of eight megahertz gives you more 794 01:12:45,440 --> 01:12:50,200 channels if you will if I'm understanding it correctly then six yeah doesn't add up 795 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:58,080 right I don't know if that's if that has more to do with like the the the bigger like eight 796 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:06,080 megahertz is definitely bigger so maybe it's talking about like the the span of the wave 797 01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:12,240 being 40 times instead of 30 times I don't know yeah I really want them to release some 798 01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:19,560 really in-depth information on the wireless aspect of this product yeah but that that 799 01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:28,040 1g4 is an interesting they need a better name what doesn't need a better I mean the the 800 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:32,360 fact that like it that's that's the advantage there to being the first end of something 801 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:37,840 is that you get to name it and it gets to be that name for a little while at least everybody 802 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:44,560 wants to be the Kleenex of their their product you mean the facial tissue no Kleenex the 803 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:51,960 Kleenex you're right this is a Xerox question yes exactly um appreciate you enjoyed it man 804 01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:58,200 I'm gonna drink this beer now no that's good that's good it's probably a little warm though 805 01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:04,960 there you go again I apologized for the it's been nice noises in this episode it's been 806 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:09,840 it's been fun for me I guess we'll call this the whole time we'll call this the ASMR episode 807 01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:28,280 there you go there you go folks yep no booster grams I mean Jason is slacking yeah I know 808 01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:34,360 Michael still we just bled him dry we may have you we may have depleted his wallet 809 01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:40,840 Michael still listening hey Michael comes up in periodic conversations you can find 810 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:46,880 us on Facebook now yes yeah we have some social presence tell the people what we have we have 811 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:54,760 Facebook we have X we do not have Instagram no they're being jerks I don't really understand 812 01:14:54,760 --> 01:15:01,560 what happened there but every time I try to it's like no so they're not taking new requests 813 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:08,160 at this point we have to let it die what 60 days I don't know potentially try it try again 814 01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:14,120 I was really aggravated by that like I'm on Facebook you're the same company just let 815 01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:20,960 me do this exactly do we have any official social media posts for people for people like 816 01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:26,640 me that don't do social media you mean like to us or from us all the above I guess they 817 01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:33,840 are no we we we have said this is us we have not I do know that my wife she did follow 818 01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:42,320 us she followed us on Facebook so I'm surprised that we just haven't blown up completely yeah 819 01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:49,840 it shows that we're on we have a post that says that we're on X there are no folks so 820 01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:55,320 and then it says to also check us out on your favorite podcasting 2.0 app oh
