I hope to see more lower cost devices come to market now that there is clear value for them to make such a device. Sound Devices and some others have already made some new products that have AES42, like the a20-tx. I look forward to seeing more out on the market soon. I know I would be interested in a low cost device so I could use even more CMD 42's on larger recording session where I might use 12-25 mics 😂

@@NathanSmithSound whats aes42?

@@creativegreatsvisuals AES42 is a digital format for audio signals that allows for direct digital connection between microphones and devices. It also allows for the control of internal microphone processing, like gain control and filters. It powers DPP Digital Phantom Power 10-volt power supply.

@@NathanSmithSound what powers dpp 10volt ?thanks so much for the feedback, I appreciate it

@@creativegreatsvisuals If a Device states it supports AES42 then the device should be able to supply DPP, if a device is AES3 then you need something like the Schoeps PSD 2 that can provide the needed DPP 10 volts.

I mainly work in games when I'm not recording. The tuff part about games is you can't talk about what your working on until they are close to coming out, so I can't say just yet, but hopefully in the next month I can answer that for you :-) good question

In my Part 2 video, should be up tomorrow, I go over this in some detail. Let's wait until then since in that video I have some diagrams/pictures that I think might help. Good question though, one of the reasons I wanted to cover Mode 1 and Mode 2 in Part 2.

I belive it will work with the Sonosax m2d2, here is a link to a video of Sonosax saying it does as well. I have not tested it myself, but I too love the form factor and would love to have one. kzfaq.infoEnVmKERPEho?si=EMvrVaeRzvW0lop- Here is also a link to the current supported devices (with more to come). schoeps.de/fileadmin/user_upload/user_upload/AES_42_interfaces_for_Schoeps_CMD_42_and_SuperCMIT.pdf A great video from Simon Hayes going over his all digital film set rig that you might be interested in. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqtiYNyo2dLHhIE.htmlsi=rhQxRw6atq22hUOf Simon used the CMD 42 in very harsh conditions here is a snippet from his testimonial on Schoeps site "We were starting a film in Tenerife/Saudi Arabia. We used them in +40 degree heat, in vibrating vehicles for long periods, in the desert during airborne sand storms, in humid sound stages. Not once did they let us down...." schoeps.de/en/products/colette/microphone-amplifiers/cmd-42.html Hope that helps, I'm not kidding when I say that the CMD 42 is a total game changer. I have 6 and saving up for 4 more 😆for my larger multi mic sessions.

It will not work with Mixpre, you need a device with AES inputs (AES is Digital) like a Sound Devices 788

@@NathanSmithSound it’s saying that the deity plug in will have aes42 to be compatible with mics like the Schoeps cmd42 so why will this not work if the deity plug in is connected to a receiver that’s plugged into the mix pre 6ii? Will the digital features inside the Schoeps cmd42 still do their magic ,like no need to do things like gain control on the mic ?

Mixpre is analog input only device

I don't belive it has an AES input unfortunately.

@@NathanSmithSound it looks like the cheapest option would do the psd 2u but that converts it into analog which do I really want to. Also the best way if I want to stay with lectrosonics is, I found they do have a digital transmitter that accepts AES it's a DPR-A

@@NathanSmithSoundso if running wireless the transmitter and recorder have to both be compatible?

@@NathanSmithSound with a SCHOEPS mini da42 can convert it to analog and record it to a mixpre 10ii ? If so Will it still have the same beautiful features and app capabilities?
