DEITY THEOS Wireless Microphone System & Q&A

In this week's session, we'll share my initial thoughts on the new DEITY THEOS wireless microphone system. This digital UHF system is a natural upgrade from systems like the RODE, DJI, Hollyland, and other consumer wireless systems. THEOS includes a wide UHF tuning range, timecode integration with the DEITY TC-1 and Slate, 32-bit float recording (though not at the same time as transmitting in the US), and a solid metal build. I'll share my first impressions, demo its audio quality, and work on some of the other tests for our final review. After that, we answer your sound for video questions. If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses at https://school.learnlightandsound.com including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
