  1. I don't know if this is the proper topic... just asking myself if there could be possible to have in the same screen of the QRX the gain level info of both channels, when used in dual mode. It seems to me very useful to have them at a glance, instead of switching A/B between that two. Especially when you need to change them during a take (I use a Fusion or Mix12 knobs for the purpose). If not, I guess it could be a good upgrade to the QRX screens scheme. Just my thoughts. v.
  2. Matthias, that's the reason I wired my wireless to AES inputs 5-8, to not overwrite line inputs 1-4. Before of the Mix 12, assigning IDs 13-16 (corresponding to digital inputs 5-8 ) I was able to make Fusion knobs (or virtual faders) able to control zaxnet trims and they works.
  3. Hi Greg, and thanks for the long reply. First of all, I forgot to say that I'm using the IFB Option on one of my QRX to send ZaxNet commands to the TXs. What I could tell you is that it seems that going digital is different than analog. When I didn't yet have the Mix12, I tried to assign Fusion knobs to change my TXs gain but I was not being able to make them work. So, I asked to Howy and he told me that I have to add +8 as TX number ID if going digital, so if it is Input 1 digital, TX ID has to be ID 9. And, in fact, this way everything worked properly and I was able to remote my TX gain with Fusion knobs or virtual faders. With the Mix12, as I said, I'm not being able to assign the trims to control TX gain (inputtig them digitally). The reason I wired them for AES digital inputs 5-8 (instead of 1-4) is that I wanted to have Inputs 1-4 free if I have to use them as additional Line Inputs 9-12 (via the hirose connector), and If I have them occupied by digital inputs I could not. Anyway, untill I will not find a solution, I fortunately could still use the Fusion knobs (the still work) to change transmitters gain. Just I would like to be able to do everything using Mix12 only. Vale.
  4. I bought a Mix 12 a week ago and I'm experiencing a problem with the ZaxNet trim assignment. My setup is: Fusion 12; 2 QRX100 going into the Fusion via AES Inputs 5-8; TRX LANC IDs are 13-16 (according to what Howy said about adding +8 to the digital inputs TX ID); Mix 12 set 1-4 Analog, 1-8 Digital (so, my wireless were on 9-12 Channels). Trying i.e. the first TX, I've selected Mix 12 Input Trim Tx ZaxNet in the Digital Input 5. Even with this selection, I can see the Mix12 trim changing the channel input level, not the tx gain level. So, I'm not being able to control Zaxnet trims for my digital inputs. Any ideas is appreciated. PS. I've already wrote to Howy and he's looking into the problem. Asking here too, bacause maybe someone here could have been in this situation and solved in some way. Thanks, Vale.
  5. That's what Glenn stated in the previous page of this thread...
  6. So, what do we have to use as antennas distributor if we'd go with the QRX200?
  7. No, Constantin. What I wanted to say was that in my argumentation I was only considering Zaxcom products. I guess (since I don't own one) that the PSC RF Multi could suit perfectly these needs, just was asking if Zaxcom thouhgt something to menage a antennas/power/ampli distro (like the MicPlexer now do) for multiple frequency blocks.
  8. I just would like to ask: what if you'd want to use sharfins having both QRX100 and 200 together, so using different frequency blocks? Same for power distro. In other words, is there something like a broadband MicPlexer to be released? Or we just have to use the receivers with whip antennas only? ps. I'm not considering the PSC RF Multi just to stay in the Zaxcom domain only. Thanks, v.
  9. That's pretty much the way I went with my Fusion/QRX setup: I'm very happy with this configuration, because the only thing I have to plug/unplug moving between cart and bag is the power cable. Very good idea to use the original QRX mount. I have to check if three in a row could match the Fusion width. v.
  10. I'm in the same situation. Just received my Lemo connectors (FGB.00.303.CLAD22) without the boots... Ordered directly from LEMO. Maybe I was not so clever, because somewhere there was written that the boots were supposed to be ordered separately. Now, while I'll be waiting to receive these boots, could I try to wire and use my connectors without them? Anyone here tried to do something similar? Could the connector (or the connections) be stressed or damaged this way? ps. I've just seen in an other topic () that Soundlikejustin was mentioning Lemo part GMF.00.018.DI for boots. So I'm going to order them (even if I can't able to find them with the last letter 'I' on the Lemo website, but it is supposed to be the color). Thanks, vale.
  11. And did you modify the windjammer too, to match the new reduced size? Very good work anyway, I'm planning to make the same. Thanks, v.
  12. It is 'On', that's the thing I wanted to refer to (mistake on Loop-record). As WanderingEar says, maybe I have something to check in the Transport settings in the Fusion. Thanks both, anyway Vale.
  13. I know these are two separate functions, but when the TX is set in Loop record, I noticed the QRX always shows REC, not only when I press Record on my Fusion.
  14. I was referring to when I am in Deva trigger. I was wandering if, being in Deva trigger (and in Loop Record on TX), I could be able to know (looking at the QRX100) if my record-power boost input is received by the TX (it could be possible that it isn't in the ifb range). Jack answered me that it is not possible. So, I suppose, while in record (if the transmitter is set to Loop record and Deva trigger) I can't know at which power my TXs are transmitting. Just this.
  15. Yes, thanks, I've extensively read the manuals. What I'm trying to understand is if there is a way to understand if my transmitters, in a certain situation, are working at 50mW or 125mW. Since I work in Loop Record, I could always read REC on my QRXs, so I don't know if the PowerRoll boost input is received by the TX or not. So, I were asking if there could be the opportunity to know this.
  16. I thought that, being in 'Loop Record', the TX is at the default power then, if PowerRoll is selected, when Rec is pressed on the recorder, it boost the TX power. In this case, I see REC even if the TX is at the default power so I'm not able to know if it is transmitting at (let's say) 50mW or 125mW, but maybe I'm saying something wrong.
  17. Maybe OT but, if using PowerRoll, is there a way to know if the transmitter has received REC input to boost its power or it is still at the default power? If not, that could be a useful info to add (on the QRX display?), in my opinion.
  18. Sorry if it's a little ot, but talking about screws, could you please tell me the exact size/specs of the simple microphone screw (the one that is at the end of a boom pole, ecc) because I have to replace some psc clamp screw type. Here in Italy it is difficult to find inches sizes at the local stores, so I guess I will have to order them on internet actually. Thanks, v.
  19. I'd add that you could frequently find some used sennheiser receiver if you want to have more of that in the future...
  20. I recently had one of my 4 Cos11d wired for Zaxcom tx that was almost 10dB higher than the others (the other three were almost at the same level, maybe one is 1dB lower). I wrote to Sanken and they told me that they had to investigate but had no more answers until now. I thought there was something wrong in the wiring too, but I'm not able to understand if so, it seems to me they're wired the same way.
  21. Jeff, on the old website Forum it is under "Files & Downloads" ---> "ZaxConvert" v.
  22. Hi Justin, I'm in the process to find a solution for my MKH30/8040 ms rig, so could I ask you what does your mod consist? On the Rode website I was able to find only one suspension system and it looks longer than the one you have, that looks very compact. Thanks and sorry for resurrecting this topic. vale.
  23. I understand your fridge analogy. But your fridge had a 5 years life, you only bought it at the end of its time. So, I'm not complaining about QRX upgrade. QRX100Q was introduced in 2009, if I'm not going wrong, so it is good they were hardware improved with new features and I'm not pretending a trade-in for the QRX receivers. They had their time, I just bought them in their late period. I am disappointed for the transmitters. The LANCs had less then 6 months from when they were introduced to when they're made discontinued. I can't remember anything in our business, or in technology generally, that have had a so short life. It's there I ask for a trade-in.
  24. Constantin and Jeff... I don't feel cheated. Maybe I'm not explaining well what I want to say. I bought a Fusion more than 3 years ago. If Zaxcom yesterday should have announced a new improved Fusion, surely I couldn't have nothing to complain about. What is disappointing me is the fact that I've bought new gear less than 6 months ago (new released gear, not new as not used before), I faced with all its early issues and now it is 'discontinued'. In my opinion it is not fair that a product in our business could have a retail life of less than 6 months. And yes, they're still working and I've bought that because of its features and at that moment I was not thinking to future upgrades, but things are really priced and now old units are very devaluated after a very minimal age and use. But I don't want to be tedious and my english is not so good to explain my feelings as i would. So, at the end, I will wait to ear how this situation will go on and I agree with fieldmixer.
  25. Philip, I've bought 4 TRX900LANC since june 2013 (apart from QRX and other Zaxcom things), one of them was defected and I had it back from a warranty service in september, I reported many early issues so, in a certain way, as other ones here, I tested them in the field... I'm very very disappointed and a little angry that my 3-6 months old, around 10k€ gear, today is 'discontinued'.
