Can you elaborate on setting up mics in a recording studio while wearing these? Might the engineer actually walk into the active studio while wearing these to change the sound?

Within the 16-foot range and without obstructions, engineers can walk around to adjust microphone placement while monitoring wirelessly; potential signal loss occurs crossing into live rooms.

43:02into the active studio while wearing these to change the sound that is a new method of micing that i have never done interesting yeah that's interesting so like i said there's a 16 foot range of the transmitter. So, if you're staying within that range and you're not, you know, don't have a huge obstacle kind of blocking the way, you will get some cutout potentially if
43:30you're crossing over into a live room. But it would be interesting to experiment with placement and figuring out if you can find a place to put it where you would be within range as you're kind of moving around things in the live room. But in a home studio context or a project studio where you're kind of mixing and recording in the same room,
43:54it is really ideal to be able to, you know, be adjusting, you know, reamping guitar, adjusting the microphone with these on and then just walk back to your mixing station and not have to, yeah, worry about getting tangled up on the way. Sounds almost ideal to be able to figure mic placement out. I mean, if you're micing a viola or something like that, and you're able to move it and still have the headphones on that are connected to the feed, that might be really, really useful to save time.
44:23Anyway, next question. Here we have Guy Crockron in Seattle, Washington, asking, is there a cushion option for hot and humid environments? My 7506 is getting sticky, and my Sennheiser HD25-1-2s came with velour. Oh, headphone pads. Yeah, we do have some alternate headphone pads coming down the line. We're going to have, obviously, like replacement options for when they wear out or get funky after years of use.
