Wisycom MCR54 - 4 way receiver
7.1.2023
New in my audio bag is the MCR54 from Wisycom. A 4 way receiver with full diversity for each channel. The receiver saves me an antenna splitter and allows for a compact and lightweight bag. I use the 4 digital outputs and so I still have 6 free preamps on my 833 in addition to the 4 wireless channels. The audio quality is as expected top. The range is again improved compared to the predecessor (MCR42). My only criticism so far is the power consumption of nearly 3 watts and the resulting considerable heat that it generates and the necessity to locate all 4 wireless channels in the same 32MHz range.
Together with the receiver also the new pocket transmitter MTP60 from Wisycom arrived. Finally ! Really a big step forward to the predecessors. The new highlights are:
- All parameters remotely controllable via Bluetooth, with the Wisycom App (Android + iOS)
- local recording on MicroSD with timecode synchronization
- tuning range 470MHz - 1075MHz
- Narrowband / Wideband switchable
Despite the great joy about this great product also here 2 points of criticism. First, the part is quite heavy (but thus also makes a solid impression) and secondly, you can not get the micro SD card out or in the slot without tools - really unnecessarily complicated.
SORRY Filmshooting

After an ice-cold week of shooting, most of the short film is in the can. As boom operator I took care of the good set sound together with Nicolas Brunner as sound engineer.
Many thanks to the whole team for the good atmosphere and the smooth workflow on the film set.

One week to go till the shooting of the first swissplotation film starts
For all of you who want to invest in this :this way !
Check out the Teaser.
HALUNKE - Seaside Festival (3.9.2021)
For me, personally this was the first time working on a big P.A. since 18 months. It did so good.
Saitenstich - filmshooting 2020
Despite the restrictive measures due to the Corona pandemic, the filming for "Saitenstich" could take place.
The historic short film is directed by Raphaela Wagner and shootings take place in Heiden , in Toggenburg and the grand finale is an outdoor shooting in the historic old town of St. Gallen.
One week on the film set - I am very happy to be part of it, even if it will be exhausting for me as I am a one-man sound department.
Many thanks to Elda Guidinetti of Ventura Film for the production and every one else for helping to make this possible !
