What is IFB in production sound? Featuring the DEITY DIFB

💾

Our sound and lighting courses can be found at https://school.learnlightandsound.com!

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. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10bzphdLss8zJexusobuRaS9v18uo0eum/view?usp=share_link

Traditional Joinery in Steel… But Did I Make It Too Light?

💾

In this video I’m building a 3.6m wide steel gate using rivets and traditional joinery, with very little welding. It’s lighter than I originally planned, so I wasn't sure how it would handle flex.

The build uses a mix of mortice and tenon joints in steel along with riveted connections, rather than relying on welding for everything.

As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Live Special: Another American Civil War?

In today’s episode, which was recorded in front of students, parents and teachers from three schools in Oxford, David talks to historian of America Adam Smith about whether the US might be drifting into another civil war. Are the circumstances of today in any way comparable to the 1860s? What are the faultlines in 2026 that might see America tear itself apart? If division doesn’t lead to widespread violence, how else might the federal government fail? What would it mean for the rest of us?

Out tomorrow on PPF+: a bonus episode in which David explores the myth of the 1945 general election. Why does this event still exert such a grip on the political imagination of Labour politicians? What do they get wrong about how it really happened and what it really meant? To get this and all our bonus episodes plus ad-free listening sign up to PPF+ now https://www.ppfideas.com/join-ppf-plus
