soundslikejustin Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 All TRX series and QRX receivers can be updated. Glenn Great, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Jack, Glen, Do you have an idea why the Nomad inputs differ when sending tone from 4 channel SRa with the same gain and limiters off? I have changed cables, receivers and still get the same result? Must have missed it if it was mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The inputs vary by +/-3dB when set to the same numerical gain level. This is exactly the same as on the Fusion and Deva. It's due to the preamp design IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Trew Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 You need to adjust the trim on each input to make them the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you weren't getting any audio to either of those. My bad. Yes, the -/+3db is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 No problem. Is Zaxcom open on Saturdays???

Jindy30 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 so the mix 8 and usb dirve is only available on the nomad 8 correct. is it simply a software upgrade that implements it or does it have to be sent to zaxcom to have it fitted?

soundslikejustin Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Upgrade between Nomad 4/6 and Nomad 8/12 requires an additional board(s) to be installed and would need to return to the factory. All other upgrades are software and can be done over the phone/internet. USB recording media (3rd) is only available from Nomad 8 and up, but Mix-8 WILL BE (not enabled yet AFAIK) available on all models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Any upgrade is the price difference plus $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Faber Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Upgrade between Nomad 4/6 and Nomad 8/12 requires an additional board(s) to be installed and would need to return to the factory. I was told by Colleen at Zaxcom that to upgrade a Nomad 4 or 6 requires modifying the hardware, and a trip back to the factory is required as you said. However, the upgrade from a Nomad 8 to a 12 is a software only upgrade and can be done remotely. She confirmed that in all cases the cost is the price difference plus a $300 service charge as John Blankenship has stated. (Even the software only upgrade from a Nomad 8 to a 12.)

soundslikejustin Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yes, that's what I meant to convey. Upgrading a 4 to a 6 gets you AES and Zaxnet (additional hardware) and from 6 to 8 gets you USB and additional processor (hardware), along with the associated software upgrades.

bendybones Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Question: there has been some hardware changes to Nomad since the first units where released (battery door fit problem, not sure what else) When I finally receive the Nomad 8 (in about 2 months) which I ordered last October, will it be the most current version hardware-wise? Or have there been more recent hardware changes which I may not benefit from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Considering they are building them to fill orders as fast as they can, I'd say you've got a pretty good chance of getting the most current hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 " will it be the most current version hardware-wise? " you will get the hardware and software as of the day you ordered it. give me a break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have there been more recent hardware changes which I may not benefit from? As far as I know - other than a diode and a few jumpers and perhaps some resistor values there hasn't been any major hardware changes to Nomad since the first units that were shipped - and there are no plans to change any hardware. And I'm not sure what you are referring to in regard to the battery door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendybones Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Thank you soundslikejustin. Thank you Mr. Norflus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 ..,. And I'm not sure what you are referring to in regard to the battery door. Glenn mentioned putting a piece of mylar on the inside of the battery door so if someone inserted the battery sled backwards, lithium batteries couldn't short out and start a fire. It sounds like a good idea. Of course, another solution is to not put the battery sled in backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Spaeth Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I put a piece of velcro on the inside of the battery door (as Jack recommended to me) in order to have the battery sled sit in there more firmly (it would move if I moved/turned the Nomad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
