I think I read somewhere it does have that option but cannot find any info about it online... Thanks, Chris.

Hi All, I'm curious about the perceived value of the 744T. I'm thinking about upgrading to the 644 or 688 due to a need for higher track counts, but I'm curious as to what a realistic return is for my 744T. It's in great condition and I just sent it in to SD for small fixes. Gotham, TAI, and B&H offer between $1,300-$1,500 but it feels like I'm losing a lot because of their need to (understandably) turn a profit. Cheers!

Hello. I am a new user to the forum here. Thanks, in advance for any help you can offer. Yesterday, I had a battery (DTAP on a V-mount) short out. In my small kit, it feeds power to mixer (F8), (2x) lectro 411a and (1x) 401. When I plugged in the DTAP plug it sparked a little... so I stopped and did not fully insert the plug. The result is confusing to me... The 411's both will no longer power up by the power supply. The 401 is fine as well as the mixer. The 411's work fine and will power up by internal batteries no problem. If they are powered up on internal batteries and you plug in the power supply cable, they power down. You can remove the cable and they come …

After recording for the past 4 days on my 744t, I just transferred all the files to a drive. After I pulled the FW cable from the computer and tried to power it down for the night, I got the screen that says powering down, closing media, however, it hadn't shut down. After I pulled the battery, restarted it, and tried to power it down again, the same thing happened. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what should I do? Before someone gets on my back about contacting the manufacturer, it's Friday night at 12:20 AM in San Juan, Puerto Rico and I could really use a cold beer right about now. Thanks in advance for your collective help. Marc

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a new zeppelin for my KMR82i. The one I've been using is much longer than the mic and probably designed for a longer shotgun. Does anyone have any suggestions on a high quality blimp and windsock? Thanks in advance!

There is a TC in plug on the QRX 235. So how do I jam TC from an external source like a Sounddevices 663? I tried to find it in the menu and the manual but couldn't find it. I can only find how to jam TC via Zaxnet or UHF signal. Any ideas?

Cleaning out boxes and found an almost new 187 transmitter. Thinking I would pair this a few of the new R1A-VHF receivers. But I find deviation in the specs for the IFB of 20khz and the transmitter 15khz. Guessing the audio would be thin and pinched!! Thoughts??????

With the new release of the Wingman app/bluetooth dongle I know some bag mixers may be considering working an iPhone into their setup. For myself, the quickness of renaming tracks and scene names may make it worth it. That being said, have any of you guys/gals out there experimented with mounting an iPhone/iPad mini to your bag? Any pics or link? I've seen plenty of chatter over mounting options in regards to the cart, but haven't seen or heard much in the way of the bag. I've found this mount designed for a golf bag that could possibly work : https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Dedicated-Holder-iPhone-20320/dp/B00O92SM7I

Hey Guys, I have a bag with a Mixpre 10T in it and 4 channels of UCR411a's and 1 TRXCL3. I have always kind of had RF issues, certainly not great performance as I have had in the past when using this gear in other situations. Im just using the 1/4 wave antennas thats come with the UCR's and TRX. The TRX seems to do mostly okay but my lavs can be really spotty to the point I don't trust them as much as I need to. I do not work in an area where there is a lot of RF around, quite the opposite in fact as I work out on a massive ranch most the time. So nothing local is messing with me. I've cleaned up cabling as much as possible, and lift…

I hope Jeff can comment on this, as I notice in the new Trew magazine that he uses a 442 mixer in his insert car rig. To those mixers out there who use a 442 and also one of the larger desks (Sonosax, Cooper, AD), what differences are there in sound quality (subjectively) between the Sound Devices and other mixers. I understand there are major differences in ergonomics, flexibility etc. as far as using the different styles of machines, but what are the sonic differences? Headroom, susceptability to clipping etc. Chris Newton

I am cross-posting with the Zaxcom site support group.... I've been loving the Mix 12 for nearly a year now... but one annoyance, possibly unique to mine, possibly not...... Occasionally, my soft control buttons stick - and bad... the slate button and the talkbacks. Each incident takes my eyes off of the ball for a few seconds. It appears the holes cut into the panel might need a mild shaving. To do this would require taking off all of the knobs. Are there others out there with this experience? The pleasure of working with it far outweighs this problem, but I'm just putting it out there: The tolerances of the holes that are cut might on mine might …

I was wondering if anyone here knew the difference between the BST and the M tx antennas. They look similar, yet one is shorter. The longer one causes the RF Load LED to flash on my BST so I'm assuming it pairs to the shorter one. I've had the shorter one on my M tx for a while now without problems, but noticed the LED issue when I removed my BST from my cart that has a dipole miracle whip, so I could use it for another application. I believe I've sorted it out. Just curious about the reason for different sized antennas. Thanks for any insight! James

Hello, I have a special request from a friend. She would like to improve the sound of a conference room. There is actually a camera with a small microphone near the camera.It is a medium room with 8 people around a table. If possible, she would like avoid microphone on the table, because the people have a lot of papers to show,... My idea is to suspend a microphone from the roof to the middle of the table. So my question : the choice of the microphone?Omni or cardio?Or maybe a stéréo smal microphone if the camera allowed stéréo input?I can provide phantom power. I don't need broadcast quality, it is only for conférence call. I…

Inspired by the build of simon's and pascal's bag i feel like giving a try to setting up a bracket for my lectro sr on top of my nomad 12. The idea of keeping it all closer to the body would be a real back saver unlike my current setup. Do you think the zaxnet antenna tx would interfer with the whips reception? Is that gonna be too little physical separation between the recorder and the receivers? The ideal setup would be two sr, one np1 and one power switch. I know that this is a HAT case but i feel like some people would be interested into knowing this as well. Thoughts?

Hello! I´m trying to use the Output buss 2 of my 744 for the first time. I didn´t needed before. When I plug a simple BNC-XLR I only get noise (not a hum, more like pink noise) and a tiny signal buried under the noise I doubt the output is damaged so: Do I need a custom BNC cable or something? As far as I know BNC is just two wires, hot in the center and ground in the shield, right? thank you!! PD: why SD choose BNC connector for the second bus output???
