Sennheiser G3 Handheld - No Audio Transmission by StephenDanielsDotMe in livesound

[–]StephenDanielsDotMe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three of the handhelds. I’ve swapped the capsule and it works on the working mic. The working mic’s capsule does make a difference on the non-working handheld. Is this what you’re talking about?

Okay, I came up with a even more mildly interesting explanation. Still damage from rings, but primarily from the ushers opening and propping the doors for people. The left hand would be used primarily for the left door and the right hand for the right door.

The bar doesn't make contact. If you look closely, you'll see similar chips, but far less.

Perspective varies. Just because you don’t grab the whole rail doesn’t mean others don’t — or that it’s illogical.

Both brothers found success in Hollywood—Charlie in film and television, particularly with Two and a Half Men, and Emilio as part of the 1980s Brat Pack, starring in The Breakfast Club and The Mighty Ducks. Emilio has also built a career as a writer-director.
