having same issue, can't update QRX212 modules via RX12 or Nova2, both say <waiting> QR2-438. where did you get firmware 4.31 that worked from? Thanks, Chris.

reviving an old thread! I'm still running the mighty Deva 16, have a few pata drives for it but I'm on the hunt for a CF adapter to run it on CF cards. Any leads out there to chase one or two of them down would be much appreciated. Will pay good $ for them. Cheers and hope all well out there, Chris.

Sorted! Further tests found one my qrx serial outputs was not working, swoped unit out and all well. c.

Hello! Pushing my legacy zax system to its limits, all going well but question zaxnet control of trx’s 9 & 10… Have 10 channels of zax witeless, using Deva faders for zaxnet trim of trx’s 1 - 8, so far can’t get zaxnet trim control of trx’s 9 & 10. Channels 1-8 are using digital inputs, trx 9 & 10 are using analogue inputs 1&2. zax RX’s are QRX200’s ganged together via serial ports to a QRX235. Remote control also works from individual RX’s for channels 1-8, the last QRX for trx’s 9 & 10 doesn’t want to play ball and remote changing of gain and freq not currently working via qrx ? Any legacy zax users who have been here before keen to hear your thoughts. Given how the mix 12 to Deva configuration works I can understand the zaxnet remote for more than 8 trx’s may not be possible but I presume the serial port ganged QRX’s should be able to handle more that 8 TRX..? All zax groups and unit numbering is double checked and correct. thank you! chris.

Hello all, any sage advice out there re LED walled stage acoustics? Only experience I have with them is vehicle interiors so interested to know what acoustic treatments others have used when in open set mode. Thinking baffle boards on wheels, ways to rig them between lamps / above the LED walls etc. Thank you, Chris.

Just picked up a couple of the dpa 4018C's, what's the lowest profile boom suspension system - cinela or..? And also what are others using as for light wind protection (indoor / quick boom swings etc) as I understand the supplied foam pop shield not so good. Another other user notes welcome. Thanks and seasons greetings to all. C.

no mixer info required, very much the over the shoulder one boom mic look. Thanks.

Hi all, my next film includes a low budget film crew in the cast and props require an authentic looking period sound kit. Set up will be a simple rec / headphone boompole / mic kit. Interested in the following info if anyone can help: Model of Nagra (or other rec?) in common use then Boom Mic (presume 416) Mic suspension XLR connectors boompole (I have an old aluminum panamic doc boom that I bought 2nd hand in the early 90's..?) Headphones (poss have a pair of old DT48's but a more comfortable option maybe preferred!) Photos of any of it would be much appreciated also. Thank you! Chris.

Hi Eric, never met you but read your helpful advice many times. Thank you for all you have done for our industry, much respect. Rest in a nice peaceful landscape, no looping up there eh.

Thank you, will get in touch with Charlie and go from there. Cheers, C.

One of my long service Denecke slates is intermittently not shutting off display when the sticks are closed. Any info on user servicing / what needs replacing appreciated as don’t have time to send off the the mother ship at mo. thank you! chris.

Hi all, having a few issues with zmt tx’s zaxnet freezing and not responding to zaxnet unless power cycled. This seems to be happen more often when they have been set to remote standby mode and left for a while before being trying to wake them up. (A star appears on the lcd when this happens, not sure what that means...) What’s the user intel re the most stable zmt firmware for zaxnet, what firmwares are you using if you having no such zaxnet issues..? Love zaxnet! thanks, Chris.

A mix of block 20 and qrx200 Rx's, most of my Tx's are 3.5 units. In the worst locations the clear chunks are barely 10mhz wide. IMO the perfect product would be a distro with at least 2 operator separate selectable bandpass filters which are output assignable. The DADM226 distro does this but only one programmable narrow band pass filter across all outputs.

Hello all, using this time in lockdown to re build the my bag wireless set up, hoping you can throw come thoughts in! I currently have a blk 20 micplexer1 in a bag rig with QRX200 and block 20 QRX100 and RX900's. I would like to run my qrx200 in a different block and be able to vary that block dept on location etc. I understand using a wideband amplified distro on the 200 is not a good idea but what about an unamplified distro with medium filtering (like the BSRF-62,470-700mhz / 0 dB gain), would that not be the same result as just patching the shark fins directly into the QRX200? I am also working on the principal that it's better to use a clearer freq block with wider band antenna distro than it is to use a micplexer / narrowband distro in a busier block? Simple / cheap option is it to use passive minicircuits splitters, one output into the QRX200, the other output into the micplexer which feeds the block20 Rx's but I'd also like to be able to distro feed a lectro SR and be able to run powered antennas when I have long coax runs which is why I like the BSRF-62 distro option as it provides that flexibility. Set up primarily for remote loc drama using remoted shark fins. Cheers, Chris.
