  1. Has anybody found a nice fitting cover for these yet? Any recommendations would be appreciated, i just don't want to waist money on an ill fitting alternative. thanks
  2. Thanks Nate C, I suppose luckily non of what occurred cost me any bookings or money so its mainly my pride that took the beating, Not really a big FB user so ii hadn't really thought of looking there for help and inspiration but I will check it out. Johnpaul, I did find the vids very useful but what got me second guessing myself is that the firmware on the vids is a little older than what my nomad came with so it wasn't a literal follow and repeat, very close but as I said once things start to wrong and you don't achieve the desired result it had me spinning in circles and wondering which step or menu I missed. Thanks to those who helped
  3. Mainly myself! i found getting my head around the settings and matrix quite a step learning curve, by not having a set schematic to follow and hard wired switches which is really my preferred way of going about things, this made it more of a challenge to invent the schematic in my head then transfer it to the nomad and it had me in a bit of a pickle. The guys at zaxcom were extremely helpful and patient and guided me in the right direction. Since then all appears well, i guess i went into panic mode after dropping the cash. This scenario was one of my biggest fears when i was trying to decide which way to go with my set up, and i chose this route because i wanted to learn a new way of doing things, and its certainly been that.
  4. The team at Zaxcom have been fantastic with there help and support with these issues. Everything appears to be working as expected with a few tweaks.
  5. As a bit of an update, after a couple of resets and formatting the cards the noise disappeared, but eventually came back. Also it seems that the auto fader function has randomly stopped working on a couple of inputs (1+2) I have been in contact with the manufacture who are investigating and i updated with the fresh news of more problems today. At no point was i expecting anyone here to "fix" my problems i just wanted to know from users if you've experienced similar gremlins. It was one of my biggest fears investing in software based equipment, so its a little disappointing. The actual build quality, feel, functionality design is great, just not so much for its reliability out of the box, as rado said, its going to be a long trip for the unit if its something major. hopefully its something and nothing, and preferably a bit of user based finger trouble, id much prefer it to be something silly that I'm doing rather than an unreliable unit.
  6. well i am only looking for previous experience and advise, Nothing wrong with speculating to accumulate. maybe there's a gotcha in the software I'm unaware of and someone may have come across this before? Believe me, after just investing around 40k on gear i certainly will be contacting the dealer/manufacturer for a "please explain"
  7. I had the same thought, tried with the inputs terminated this morning and still the same noise, sounds like digital distortion to me, almost as if you can hear the processes at work. Just thought i would ask as my local dealer is 900k's away i don't really want the hassle of a send back to base solution if its just something silly in a setting. Thanks for the replies Phil
  8. Hi, I have just received delivery of my Nomad 12, fresh out of the box and running latest firmware v7.26. it appears that i have noise on analogue ins 3,4,5. I have nothing connected to these inputs but when PFL'ing them i can hear a hiss, and sometimes the noise sounds like I'm hearing the timecode? I'm new to field mixers, has anyone else experienced these anomalies before? Also whilst setting up and testing randomly input 6 would have a line struck through it as if the compressor had triggered and gone to infinity and beyond, a power cycle reset each time and things appeared to back to normal. Thanks in advance Phil PSB Audio
