Sean McCormick Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I hope Petrol makes a more thought-through bag for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Youngman Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Its a great time to be a sound mixer. I'm just curious what new category of audio device SD/Zaxcom will come up with next? Maybe a modular system that will let you change the inputs, outputs and fader numbers as needed while centered around a core "brain" unite?

fieldmixer Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Wow. Killer competition for Maxx! Especially since it doesn't have Zaxnet;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I don't think any unit is a killer of another unit. the maxx has that inbuilt Tx, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 " a more thought-through bag for this one. " SD is not in the bag business, and they cooperate with any of the usual "bag" suspects, and a new one... Not only are there Porta-Brace bags currently available, but there is the new K-Tek bag. and, BTW, they stand up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Here I am with the new 633 at Gotham Sound, where Pat McConnell kindly answered all of our questions: My thoughts: - Great size; it is a tad bigger than a 302, about the same size as the 702T. - I like that It can run 2 Sony L-Series type batteries, as well as 6 internal AA batteries, which will run for a very long time. However, this adds to the weight, which may not be an issue considering it still weighs less than the 664, 788T, Nomad, or a 302/702T combo. But the Maxx is definitely lighter. - I love that it carries the same great software interface that the 664 has, it's so intuitive. - Same great quality build that the 664 has. - I was a bit worried that the small faders for channels 4 - 6 were going to be difficult to use, but they push out (like the trim and pan knobs) and are actually not bad at all. - It can record up to 6 tracks at 192kHz, which is outstanding. Overall, great product from a great company. I'm sure it will make many people happy. There were only 12 units at Gotham available for sale, and they all sold out within 2 hours from the unveiling.

studiomprd Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I could have sworn I already read that... did they have the cheese plates in stock ?? I think the cheese needs a bit more "bite", perhaps a little more aging..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I could have sworn I already read that... Probably because I reposted this to the ongoing 633 thread in the Equipment forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
