Sound for Video Session - Revisit the DEITY THEOS & Q&A

Over the last several months, I've received several questions about audio artefacts with the DEITY THEOS wireless microphone system. Specifically, some people report that sibilant sounds create digital artifacts. Let's test that out!
Then we'll 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 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.

Definitely heard a difference, a little distortion or clicks in the high frequency of the transmitted recording. I have a Theo’s kit and love it so it’s not a dealbreaker but would be great if this could be fixed.

Hello Curtis!
I’ve been wondering if you unscrew the antennas partially to reposition them or you just move them. What’s the right way?
Thanks in advance!

compressed high end looks almost like mp3 processing? but more frequency dependent

[@eMotionFlowing]

There is a new update v1.6 and 1.3 from 01.3

[@leandroTavioCabrera]

Did it resolve the problem?

[@eMotionFlowing]

Which problem?
