callou Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I think Rycote just came out with something too. Can't find anything on their website, do you have a link for the rycote one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg sextro Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 My bag for tomorrow. When they called me a week ago, they said it would be ENG style (broadcast camera, run n gun, cabled etc...) and here I am thinking a couple wires and a boom...Then when they called me the end of day Friday, they said they will need 6 (hidden) lavs plus wireless stick mic and a boom. I asked for an A2, and they said no. I said as long as they give me the time to properly wire without breathing down my neck...and also that they were gonna have one helluva gear rental bill! ...sigh - I miss features.

Jaymz Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 That's a back breaker and a half, greg. Best of luck tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Greg, what's that little box with the blue wires in the front pocket? It feeds the trx900? I'm intrigued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg sextro Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 left to right: ifb100, battery for ifb100, qrx100. I prefer powering the ifb tx separately - seems to cut down on rf interference on my receivers. blue wires are timecode and audio feed from fusion.

dominiquegreffard Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ok so here s my bag setup for most projects these days. Took me a while to pur it together but I like how light it is compared to my previous mixer/recorder setups. The kortwich bag is great for the nomad but i wish they put hooks on the lower corners of the body side of the bag for the harness. I will have that done here because it doesn t fit very well with my petrol harness now. I m still getting used to the nomad, it does take a bit to get your head around it but my confidence operating it is going fast. (still amazed by the "can't plug/unplug 48v powered mic without turning off the machine" thing and my sanken cs3 mic is having issues with the nomad.. Oh and why can t i plug a keyboard in the usb plug?? Anywayyy..) I do have to say i like the machine overall though. I m sure they re gonna fix these things as time goes by. (and make us an app à la cl wifi while we there!!). I got one erxtc (for now) and really like what it can do. I don t think that it s super solidly built for a 500$ device but i m trying to protect it as best as i can with a iphone cover thing that has a clip on thing (great for hooking up anywhere.) So yeah, i m back in the field with a whole new setup and it feels good to know that it s gonna get better with time. Great thread, great site, love to hear what you guys have to say, Cheers!

Hi jack, thanks for the quick reply. I contacted howy already about this and i'm waiting for a reply from him. What s a mod? Are you talking about the can t unplug/plug a 48v without powering off the machine recommendation or the issues with the cs3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It would be about the 48v. What's the issue with the CS3-e? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominiquegreffard Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Its not a cs3e its a cs3. There's bunch of white noise + gotta crank up the gain alot. It doesn t do that with my old mixer or with my neuman kmr81 in nomad.. I m sure it s the 48v too. What do you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg sextro Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi may i know which bag is this? Kortwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Could be a number of things. Phantom sounds like it might be the culprit. The mod means the Nomad has to go back to Zaxcom, as far as I know, but the gospel comes from Glenn or Jack. You might consider updating your CS3 to a CS3-e, but if it seems to be working fine with an older mixer, I'm leaning towards the Nomad not powering the mic fully...? I've never had an issue with my CS3-e, even powering off an H4n. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It is a hardware fix for the phantom plug/unplug issue which requires a trip to the factory. Mines there right now getting this and a couple other mods done. http://wanderingear.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 What couple other mods are those? How would I know if my nomad needs the 48v mod? Are most nomads ok? Up to what serial # is there the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 There's an audio board upgrade, the 48v mod, the rf spray power connector mod, the mix-8 compatibility mod. I think they're the ones that need actual hardware modification. Serial numbers differ for each one. Anything older than 2 weeks will need the mix-8 mod, if you want to use the mix 8 with Nomad.

fieldmixer Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Are these mods free of charge? I'm not familiar with the audio board upgrade mod, what is it? What does it fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yes, as far as I know they are free (under warranty), you just have to ship your unit there, Zaxcom will perform the mods and ship it back to you. The audio board upgrade is quite old, if you got one of the first Nomads it was necessary to use Zaxnet, I think. I'm going off memory here, so if you want to know exactly where your Nomad stands, ring or email Zax with your serial and they'll let you know.

fieldmixer Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Good advice. I'll do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rf mod adds a capacitor to the power jack I believe. The phantom power mod is on the input, but I don't know what they change, they told me it was hardware and software. The mix 8 support is a firmware upgrade that has to be done at the factory. I. E. Hard coded into a chip rather than part of the main software, although I don't know details. That's what I've gathered in the breif conversations I had with zaxcom sending my nomad back. I'll post my experience with the updates once I get my nomad back. http://wanderingear.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
