Herbert Verdino Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I wrote them a mail in January. They wrote back an told me, it will be released in spring. Some weeks ago I asked them for news and maybe some specs. No answer. Maybe some one here knows, what they are planing to build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thomas Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I emailed them the other week (about the RS422 interface on the old one) and didn't get an answer. Maybe they don't like me, either? Or Pierre's on holiday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bralleput Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sonosax has a 'reputation' for not responding,'news' is once/twice a year AND they are known for 'not liking' people....:-)Herbert I guess 'wait' is the best answer....Pierre! where are you?As a Sonosax user for more than 20 years I would say : be patient and wait..("build them a diamond,and they will come"..)

Herbert Verdino Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Good advice. I will do a documentary in June and want to buy a smaller recorder. When the SX R4 will not be ready in May, I will buy a SD 633 or a Maxx... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 They usually get back pretty quickly when you've got a problem (rather than just an enquiry), though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolo72 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 http://www.sonosax.ch/news/SONONEWS_2014_05_EN.pdf Looking good - be great to see a picture hopefully not too long before it's for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Immoral Mr Teas Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Sounds excellent on paper - not only addressed my concerns and wishes following the existing model but exceeded them in many ways : New battery (though I hope it CAN still work off AAs, especially alkaline, as a middle-of-nowhere emergency option) - as well as a 12V output (I wonder if I could power any Nagra accessories such as my David Lane 3rd mic input from this??) Same 4+2 preamp setup as former, BUT also AES42, 16 track capability at (I think) up to 192kHz, and perhaps best of all an optional, same footprint, +8 channel mic preamp box to extend the R4 to 12 matched mic inputs ( ... I wonder how many people asked Pierre for such a 4 channel box for the earlier model?) The preamp box will function either from the R4 or by itself. I hope, but don't know, if it functions better as a mixer than the previous model, but preamps are labelled as minus infinity to +20 : not sure on output options or returns for monitoring. Whilst there's not much more info up there yet, this looks so darn close to my "perfect FX recorder" that I'm not even going to whine about powering my 805Ts ha ha ha. Look forward to seeing more in coming weeks. Jez Adamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Adamson "Here here" I think it would (potentially) be killer with an sxst or the smaller 6 or 8 channel mixer (can't remember the name right now) - Digi outs from the mixer on the cart then disconnect and run around with the bag when needed - 16 Sonosax mic amps with a tiny footprint!!!! -( by the way I power my nagra BSII with a pp3 wired neg ground - ) lisala dolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Sounds very promising product. +1 for option like Dante. I'm not exactly sure about touch screen especially in these dimensions. Full entry and customization metadata will be appreciated. Safety first for us who working on set. Stability first for manufacturers products.
