That's a great video - I have an FX6 and looking art possibly swapping over from the UWP system to Theos (especially due to be able to remotely turn off / adjust without going to the talent or the camera all the time). If you switch to Mic level, what is the Mic Reference level set at ? Are you in Melbourne ?
Great video. I've got the same problem setting up Theos with FX3 or A7S3+K3M audio unit. Line level is way too low. And mic level brings tons of noise because I have to crank up the gain so much on the TX.
I not 100%, but looks like with mic levels there is a bit more noise + there was some hiss at the beginning after you switched to the mic levels. I'm listening on the headphones.
Yes I think the camera pre amps will always be a bit more noisy in mic level, I think that’s the case in most cameras (I think)🤔 I think now with where ai is currently at, we can reduce that noise safely without it sounding too weird or robotic.
Hey mate. Are you happy with the Theos and fx6. I’m tossing up between the Theos or the Sony system. I’ve heard too many issues on the Facebook Deity Theos group
Hey mate, I’ve only used it on the fx6 for that test, which seemed to work fine when using the settings I spoke about. I’ve used it a bunch more on my canon c70 which has been fine as well. I have been pulling the internal recording out to used most times though, so that I have the 32bit file to use. I would still rather an option from deity to use the Theos via two separate cables on cine cameras though. It’s a tough call, as I’ve heard from people using the Sonys for a long time that they are solid, but the 32bit float and internal recording on the theos packs really can save the day in situations where solo operator run and gunning gets away from us! Also, so far I haven’t had any signal issues, but I haven’t really been all that far from talent when filming. I do re scan signal at each location.
Thanks for your feedback. That’s what attracted me, was the internal recording, the Sidus app, and one system for anywhere in the world. Also I own the tc-1.

Hey! From memory I would have had it set to +24 or +27. That’s generally what I have it set to for Sanken cos11 mics.
I’m based in Brisbane.
@ and what is the micro reference level on the camera, -70. -60DB etc.
sorry man, I didn’t look at that when I did the video.

Hopefully they fix it with a firmware update soon

Actually yeah I use the app each time to sync and start recording. Pretty handy
