Anybody used their XLR plugin with the Rode Reporter? I have found only 1 review/post about this combo and it says it doesn't work all that good
"The first mic I used for this test was the RØDE Reporter, a dynamic ENG (omnidirectional) mic, with phantom power deactivated on both transmitters. Both transmitters were set to 0dB attenuation. The Sennheiser G3 had a very strong output and no adjustment was necessary from use with the lav and beltpack transmitter. The Sony, however, was weak and noisy and thin. I had to crank the input gain on the MixPre-D to almost-wide-open, about 95%, to get the signal to meter at 0dB and this resulted in a greater noise floor. Just to be sure, I made the same comparison with a couple other dynamic mics and got the same results. The Sony plug-on transmitter is, essentially, useless with dynamic mics."
I can't test it out before buying (and can't return it when I buy it) so I'd like to hear some more opinions about this combo...
anybody? :)

Sony XLR plugin is shit according to reviews. I mean its analog part.
May be it will work ok with some very sensitive mike.
-
So, is it really good system?
-
It is good enough.
Also note that it has unique option to eliminate cables for Sony cameras

Feels like a FS7 mk2 announcement, but for Sony audio.
Not quite as small as the FS5 mk2 was.... but still, not much of a step forward? Maybe the reviews will reveal it is a bigger deal than I feel it is. Sony isn't doing a great job at selling me on this, even though I'm a big big fan of their UWP-D11!
-
Their thing is that it will be tightly integrated with cameras. So you can see info in viewfinder or on the screen if connected via Sony hotshoe.
-
Unless they release a firmware update for their very popular FS5/FS7 and other cameras (their mirrorless perhaps?) then it is no good only being in a feature in a couple of new cameras.
-
Most probably they will :-)
