Wireless measurement in Europe (legally)

As I mentioned, we make a 50mW, EU-legal version of the HM transmitter for export to the EU. The specific model number is HM/E0-1, and it is available in a number of different frequency blocks.

I know I have asked this before but.... can the TM400 work with an audix TM1 ? or do you still need a small extension cable to break up the RF issue ?

At present, the same problem still exists between the TM1 and the HM transmitter (along with the older UH400TM transmitter). We have reached a standstill mostly because both engineering teams feel that their product is not the issue (ahem...) so yes, a short cable changes the RF properties of the combination so that the problem is reduced to the point where it is usable.

That kind of corporate politics used to make me nuts... Neither group want's to take the hit to make it right, so the customer suffers.

The cost (political and otherwise) to fix either one, needs to be shared between the two groups. Playing nice together is the responsibility of both engineers.

arghhh (used to be an engineering manager).

Unless, of course, one of them is right and it's really not their product at fault... (I don't know anything about this situation)

In a perfect world such disputes would be settled completely objectively by a competent authority but our world is not perfect or fair. The typical result is the engineering area with more political chips and/or chops wins. In the case of a tie, everybody loses, especially the customer.

Here is one classic anecdote from my 15 years working at a company with thousands of finished goods that all had to play nice with each other. I recall hearing about a new speaker model that because of it's unusual load characteristic, managed to nudge a marginally stable powered head, into oscillation. This oscillation, then caused the loudspeaker to catch on fire. This was before my direct involvement over powered mixers, so I can only imagine a doozy of a blame game. High profile oops, like that one get fixed immediately, but each side could credibly argue the other was to blame.


Company politics is a nasty game I never did enjoy or do very well at..
