sinnlicht Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hi All, Having read previous entries I understand that the Zaxcom STA042 is actually AES 032 device expecting a 110ohm signal. Does anyone know whether it will work error free with a 75 ohm spdif signal (source here is a sd usbpre2)? If a 110 ohm signal is necessary, will a simple Neutrik NADITBNC-MX 75 Ohm BNC F To 110 Ohm XLR M Adapter do the trick, or is an active sdpif-aes adapter necessary? I called Zaxcom and they did not have any experience with this. Thanks RL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek H Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Wire it up and try it. With a very short cable I don’t think it would matter much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks RL Just the transformer usually is enough, but http://www.rane.com/note149.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Since this is none standard I can see my staff not knowing. If you simply go through a balancing transformer it will work. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnlicht Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hi, this is great news re the transformer. Thanks for helping out on this. RL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnlicht Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Dear Glenn, while I have your attention, could you post a link to the latest firmware update for the ZFR 100, I could not find it on the website? Thanks RL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Deakin Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Shouldn't any TRX 900 software work for it. The zfr didn't have the 7.30 crossover issue no rf board so what ever the latest 9.86 should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
