Audio In's and Outs demystified

[Ron Scelza]

Dear All,

Here we go again off to battle with another new camera never seen and will not be seen till the first day of shooting..

As a Production sound mixer armed with the Name, "RED" --- bringing to mind a dragon eating an entire sound team...

Misinformation abound of software updates and functions, fabled, enabled, disabled, never cabled connectors fused with the nostrils of a fire breathing dragon in wait…

Tough times for finding a Dragon Slayer –

I found one in the Hollywood forest,
Slaughtering superstition and the myth surrounding "RED'S" In's and outs… Today Robert Kennedy (Coffey Sound) physically confronted "RED". Sticking lemo's, mini XLR's, tri-level sync boxes, Zaxcom stereo adapters, evolutions, Deva's, Sound Device's and all the rest… Into the body of the beast...

Robert created a summary of detailed, exact usable parameters and a work flow for us to use. The Coffey Sound Tech department configured and tested all the connectors for "RED" and with Robert, summarized the pin outs needed for interfacing…

Make no doubt about it. The foremost expert on sound for "RED" … "Dragon Slayer" -- Coffey Sound, "Robert Kennedy"...

Kudos and a public thank you to Robert, The Tech department and the guys and girls at Coffey sound for removing fear and superstition, sleighing another fire breathing dragon all from two thousand miles away...

Sincerely
Ron Scelza C.A.S.

Awesome Ron. Glad to see they are onboard early in the game. It will help clarify things for a lot of people like yourself who may be experiencing the camera for the first time. I love that they already have a Red cables section on their site.
