Our sound and lighting courses can be found here!

In this week’s episode we have a look at and listen to DEITY’s new IFB system, the HUSH Wireless (for North America) or THEOS DIFB (for other markets). The DIFB system is easily integrated with other DEITY ecosystem products, and also holds its own as an isolated IFB ecosystem for North American users. In this episode we explore what an IFB is, what they’re most useful for, and how it might be used to create a camera hop audio feed. Let’s take a closer look and listen!

Listen to an uncompressed and unprocessed audio sample of the DIFB used for a camera hop between a Sound Devices MixPre-3 II and a Canon C70.

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 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. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. See our school website for more info!
