The PPA R37 HD Select Channel FM Receiver with Headphones from Williams Sound is a compact and easy-to-use beltpack receiver that allows you to listen to an FM signal in the 72-76MHz band. his receiver requires a transmitter operating on a 72-76MHz band.

Check with your government's radio regulations for 72-76MHz operation.

Q: 2. Can I use the FX send on this unit to do a mix-minus for a podcast, when attached to a phone--that is, without applying any effects? From the manual it sounded like the FX knob would only send to the internal FX, but I see that FX jack on the console. Thanks!

A: You should be able to use the FX send without applying any effects and it should work to do a mix-minus setup.

Q: 3. Can I just plug the lav mic into the audio jack on my GH5 without using the XLR connector? Looks like that in the picture

A: No. The Countryman B3 Lavalier Mic included with the Sound Shark SS1-ACC-K-KEQ-WC Parabolic Microphone ACC Equalized XLR Kit has a hardwired XLR connector so it will not connect directly to the mic input on the Panasonic Lumix GH5 Mirrorless Camera. You will need to use a separate on-camera XLR adapter that can supply phantom power, or you would need to use a different lavalier mic with a standard 3.5mm TRS connector (any omnidirectional lavalier mic with a diameter of up to 0.31"/8mm that will function with plug-in power). As another option, you can purchase the Sound Shark SS1-ACC Long-Range Dish with Accessory Bracket (B&H # SOSS1ACC) separately to use with a different lavalier microphone of your choice. The Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Low Sens, with 3.5mm Non-Locking Connector for Azden Wireless Transmitters (B&H # COB3W5BZP) should work with the camera. For an on-camera XLR adapter, you can use the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO Active XLR Compact Adapter (B&H # BEDXAMICROP), the Comica Audio CVM-AX3 Dual-Channel Audio Mixer for DSLRs (B&H # COCVMAX3), or the Saramonic SR-PAX1 Two-Channel Audio Mixer, Preamp, Microphone Adapter (B&H # SASRPAX1). Or for a lower-priced option, you can use the Comica Audio LinkFlex AD2 Single-Channel Mic and Guitar Interface for Smartphones and Cameras (B&H # COLNKFLEXAD2).

Q: 4. How does "timecode support" work? How is the timecode generated in the MixPre-6 synchronized with or connected to the camera(s) (Canon EOC Cxxx for example)? I presume when this is done correctly I don't need to record scratch audio on the cameras for sync'ing in post?

A: The MixPre can work with TC a couple different ways: You can set the 3.5mm TRS Aux Input as Timecode in (although that means you won't be able to use channels 5&6 for audio); You can set the 3.5mm TRS Stereo Output as timecode out (although that then means you won't be able to use your mixer's line out); or you can input timecode via the micro-HDMI if you connect your camera's video output (although I've had trouble with introducing interference noise messing around with the HDMI port). So, you've got a few options here. If you don't mind being tethered, you can connect your camera to the mixer and feed timecode one direction or the other. Of course, that will burn an input or output on your mixer and you'll be tied down, so that might not be preferable. The other option (that doesn't require more gear, and won't require you to burn an input/output) is to "jam" sync. Basically, before you start shooting, connect them up and jam timecodes to get them in lockstep. Then you can detach, and even change your settings on your mixer to get your inputs & outputs back. I'm not a huge fan of this method, because some devices lose their sync when you power off & change batteries, so if it's a complicated, hectic shoot and you lose sync for some reason, you might not know till later. Plus, if you've decided to use your 3.5mm in/outs for a different purpose, now you'll have to unplug things and menu-dive to re-jam, which may not be workable in a rush. The third option, which is what I'm planning on doing for my next shoot, is to use an external device (like a Tentacle Sync or UltraSync or Locket Box or Deity BPTRX) to feed consistent timecode into both devices. That way you can set your timecode on your TC boxes, then mount those to your devices and trust that they'll keep everybody marching to the beat of the same drum. For me, this is the best compromise, because I don't want to send TC out of my MixPre (because I need the stereo output for monitoring and I don't want to re-configure on set), and I don't need my aux inputs on 5 & 6, so I'm okay burning that input for my TC in. That said, there's still nothing wrong with getting a scratch track for reference on your camera. It's probably a good idea to have *some* reference audio there for a multitude of reasons. Hope this helps.

Q: 9. I have a power bank with 2 usb-a ports, (1) 5V 2.1A and (1) QC 2.0: 5V 2A - 9V 2A - 12V 2A, in this case do I have to plug both USB-A’s ? Or this could damage my device ?

A: If you’re using the MX-USBY cable you should plug both USB-A ports (Data & Power) into the same destination to properly power the MixPre. MX-USBY: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1333784-REG/sound_devices_mx_usby_y_cable_usb_c_to_2x.html We also recommend looking at our Powering Options page to get a list of powering methods that we have tested: https://www.sounddevices.com/mixpre-3-mixpre-6-powering-options/ Any powering method/battery bank not on that list means it has been tested and we cannot guarantee it will work as expected.
