pindrop Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I, for one, am super excited about this. In the worst case scenario, it will add four physical faders for inputs 7-10 (with autotrim) to my nomad, which would be a very valuable addition for me. It will undoubtedly be able to do much more than that, but just being able to run all 10 analogue inputs (or 11 if you include slate mic) without the vFaders alone is a valuable addition to my nomad rig. How valuable? I guess we'll see when they release the price... And the actual unit - anyone got wind of an ETA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 " the actual/physical reason it cannot be mounted below the unit? " not built to do that... deal with it, get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Very Helpful you are. Just looking to understand reasons why. Why can it not physically mount on the bottom, why doesn't maxx have zaxnet. Why is my machine squealing, Why is my screen screen dim. Ect... Questions can kickstart thinking, problem solving and sometimes redesign. I don't have to get over anything. I just won't buy it if it doesn't do what I need it to, and I'm in good company.

pindrop Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hopefully the development of this unit is not stalled. Any clues for an approximate release date anyone? Weeks, months, years, decades? It's going to make a very versatile recorder, a dream to use for more complex setups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Goldberger Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes, was also thinking about this today. We all love the new developments with the wireless, but please keep working towards the fader add-on, Zax. I was reminded the past couple days of how dreadful it can be mixing more then 6 inputs on a Nomad. I'd love to have a couple empty knobs sitting around waiting for hookup to a QRX235!

I'm in the same situation. That 6th wire is a chore. The only shortcut I can offer is to adjust gain in the channel setup menu. I don't like having more than 6 wires anyway, so I don't need the fader panel as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominiquegreffard Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'm in the same situation. That 6th wire is a chore. I agree. I ve asked howy if it would be possible to have one input line of display from the card tracks page that could also be the virtual fader access so we wont have to toggle between card page and input page when controlling input #7,8,9 and 10. That would make it easier to control those extra wireless i m sure. Let s wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezekiel974 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I hope the connector of the panel will be a 90 degree connector, to act as a strain relief as well as being compact for bag use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew L Hankins Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 It is surprising how hard it is to find information about this new fader panel. Trew Audio has a video from NAB where it is referenced. And then this thread. But not even on the Zaxcom site do I find anything about it. That is a surprise as this should make the Nomad a more handy recording tool. I had already planned to purchase a Nomad 10 or 12 in the next year. The new fader panel cements the idea.

This falls under the "You Can't Win" department. There have been times in the past when Zaxcom has been criticized for promoting products too heavily prior to full release. While I agree that they aren't always at their best with detailed, in-depth information, Zaxcom's new web site is part of the company's recent initiatives to improve in that area. Still, often your best source of information on their products is early adopters. I'm curious about the new panel, also. I'd like to know its dimensions, the weight, and its current requirements.
