Patrick Tresch Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Erkal, I'd say it's clear now that it's not designed as a bag mixer/recorder, but for the cart. Pity.. Grant. Think the R4+ as a modular device. If you need more, add a module. It's a great docu machine but you can still expand it to your needs. The new battery power is also great and put inside the body of the R4+. I use those bats with my old R4 and run it in MS for a whole 12h day with 1 49wh batt.

I am not sure who would need 12 channels attached to their chest but definitely is perfect as a small cart mixer. But as a bag mixer myself, still wish that 5-6 are not left out as suggested because that leaves it in an awkward position where its just not enough and 12 channels are just too many, so engaudio is probably right...

Much appreciated man, finally something other than a photo! 2 outputs really is bad news but I hope its not certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks a lot! Very informative! I'm in the minority but I do FX recording primarily so I would rather have no outputs and 2 more Sonosax pres. I wonder if that would be doable as a mod.

Earl Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just one thing: your video title is missing the '+' as in SX-R4+. Otherwise, 10/10 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvanstry Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Thanks so much Rado, great video. I appreciate it. You are 100% right, Sonosax needs to communicate more with the end user, two outs is a deal breaker there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Are there any connectors available to use for more outputs, or would that need a hardware change? p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 A very nice looking unit overall. Add a slate mic and boom op out would be nice but not necessary for me as I would be feeding it from ST8D. If the Dante ouput works, I would feed Boom Recorder. I hope the config and data is easy to set up via WIFI and easy to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolo72 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 So this is the only avenue for extra outputs - as has been mentioned. That's fine with me but I think Sonosax should offer something at the same time the sxr4+ is released for purchase even if it is from another manufacturer.

pvanstry Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 So far, it's been discussed earlier in this thread, the solutions are really thin for more outputs. 1- replacing the rj45 ( Dante ) with an output connector. In my mind that would be bad, Dante is amazing to have. 2- replacing the ta3 output connector with a ta5 for a total 4 unbalanced output. Not ideal, but a start. 3- using the AES output in the multi pin aes connector with another module ( to convert to analog ). Problem is that the unit doesn't seem to have any provision in the software to create more outs, acces or mixes. 4- I believe there is an AES Input connector on the side of the Input. Replacing it with an output connector instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Sonosax decides to build a bag mixer like the M32 but with more channels which can also utilize all the features of the R4+, now that would be wonderful!

RadoStefanov Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Does anybody know if the timecode inside is AMBIENT? I am very interested in a recorder with an accurate time code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
