  1. ...ooooh, you're saying the quiet part out loud again. We're all thinking it but don't want to sound smug....
  2. Those stop signs are there to keep us all safe Rado...
  3. I have a sheet metal brake and shear to build my own aluminum drawers and shelves. It's really the choice of drawer slider mechanism that adds weight.
  4. You are weird. FWIW I mercilessly route my cables into as tiny a parcel as reason will allow. So right angle connectors on everything, and spares with me always. But it's not a bad scene and I rarely have any cable troubles. It all fits cleanly into a bag like this one. I used a small Orca framed bag for a while but getting at all the right spots was more of a production than just sliding my packed-up unit in and out of a neat little bag.
  5. Sweet. My home-sewn bag has been going a bit overtime after 8 years of service. Might try these out in Khaki Green and Silver Grey to see if one of them sticks.
  6. Feelworld has some at 2200 and 3000 nits, but I only see 300nits in their rack mount units. Maybe they assume rack gear doesn't go outside...
  7. 1 candela/meter² [cd/m²] = 1 nit [nt] so 300 nits
  8. My next trick will be a pull-out drawer unit like this, but hopefully brighter: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1709229-REG/feelworld_sc173_hd_56_17_3_1ru_pull_out.html I've been plenty happy with my cheapo FeelWorld T51 Triple 5", though these are smaller than what you're wanting.
  9. I've bought these cables from Gotham and now Trew and they work great, if a little pricey. I saw some from China on ebay for $30 and ordered a couple. The Chinese ones give bad hiss and don't work right. I haven't had a minute to open them up and test. Someone at Trew told me the cable requires a resistor in-line somewhere, which the cheaper ebay ones won't have. The ZMT4 manual says nothing about resistors: Wiring is straight 1:1. Anyone know more about this situation? Am I just getting badly wired cables from China, or is there some detail being handled differently?
  10. Thanks for that info Pete. Since microdots are working for ZMT-X and ZMT-Flex, can they not also be incorporated into future ZMT(5) models?
  11. I just saw the ZMT4-X announcement with dual microdot connectors. Think this is to make room for dual connectors, or is anyone expecting Zax to go with microdot on other transmitters going forward? I believe I would prefer a microdot to those lovely but difficult to solder 00 Lemos. Can my ZMT4 TXs be retrofitted? Sean
  12. That's what Glenn specified to do in this forum. I agree, sounds weird. But I think he said the boot order can possibly cause a hangup if there is a difference in the power supplies.
  13. Hello, I just picked up a used Mix-8 and am having trouble configuring my Nomad 12T (v7.81) to respond to it. I power up Nomad first, then Mix-8. USB cable into the Serial port. Mix-8 LEDs light up and respond to faders. All of my Nomad’s internal faders are unassigned. External Faders 1-4 are set to analog 1-4. In Mode menu, I see no Mix-8 or Mix-12 related options. Can anybody offer help? Or did I maybe just buy one that isn’t working? Thank you for any help, Sean
  14. Yes, I did send an email to Zaxcom through their web form. I'm not super encouraged about support for gear that has disappeared off the bottom of their obsolete list, but hopefully someone can dig up a receiver manual for me there. The set is in great condition, works nicely between itself at least, and seems a nice way to add a couple more wireless mics should I ever need to fatten my bag.
  15. Interesting. My QRX100s are all in block 20, my Goldlines are in 22. I have a QRX200 wide-band that covers it, but I can't get a signal to connect in Mono or Stereo mode. I have the TX set to Mono and Ch 630. QRX200 is on FMT Mono. Does anyone have a manual for the Digital ENG Receiver? The only Goldline manual that I'm finding here (from above links to Zaxcom site) are for the Transmitter.
