dand666 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks for the info dude. The only thing was, on the Interference light, it was only at the bottom, indicating that the signal was okay. No metal structures in the way of me either. Was a huge event, big Shure antenna//masts things were deployed as we were all running IEMs. I just turn up and take the pack so have no idea of configuration.

EBS_freak Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) You'll tend to get interference being registered on a lot of audio devices. It's whether it audibly drops out or not that counts! Edited December 1, 2017 by EBS_freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpea Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have one of these. I find the signal drops out as soon as I get over a couple of metres away from the receiver. Have I got it on the wrong setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oopsdabassist Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Pm'd Chris earlier this week as a heavy footed drummer had managed to kick both my aerials and they were only attached by the wire, turns out Smoothound isn't far from me, so this morning I got my receiver repaired, some tweaks to my transmitter, a decent cup of coffee, and a very nice chat to boot. It turns out mine is one of the early ones...I feel quite proud of that, and I'm still happy to sing the praises of these guys, great quality gear and top notch customer service too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still using mine, been great so far although. Playing at Pinewood Studios this weekend so hoping to utilise the whole room, so we'll see if it can cope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I haven’t used my Smoothhound in quite a while as I’ve been at home and haven’t needed to. It easily survived CameronJ’s great pedal cull of 2018 though because I just know i’ll need it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intime-nick Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 for anyone wanting to easily mount their Smoothound transmitter on a strap, I've got a new design for a simple 3D printed clip assembly that holds the REAN connector to your strap and can be left attached to it. The transmitter & extension cable fit into the connector as normal. I'll also do a more universal one that mounts with a velcro strap as this one only fits length-ways on a leather strap into the length adjustment slots. just testing the first prototype. the parts are printed in a modified ABS polymer and are more than strong enough - see what you think (pics attached) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intime-nick Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 testing the prototype now - i need to give it some usual gig abuse to be certain it's OK but i'm pretty confident it'll be fine. It'll probably be a week or so before i can make some more (as my printer is fully booked) and then i'll cost it up (it'll only be a few quid or a bit more with the REAN connector pre-installed. Will let you know. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is what Chris and I discussed a couple of years ago? (I really don’t know at this point as I couldn’t go to the show.)

intime-nick Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 final (and much simpler) version of the REAN connector retaining block. no screws & no clips this time - just a one-piece printed part attached with 30mm wide velcro 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
