VASI Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Can someone point me in a direction for an amplifier setup to extend the range of the nomads zaxnet to erx range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 PS: " point me in a direction " you could contact Zaxcom... you could do some Google searches either of this site (jwsoundgroup.net as the first search term) or just a general google search.

Olle Sjostrom Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think you did the right thing! Asking on here instead of Googling, cause you knew you'd get a more accurate answer, and annoying the Senator all in one blow. Magnificent!

The Documentary Sound Guy Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 This thread is over 10 years old, but I'm resurrecting it, because I can't find anything more recent. What is the *current* state of Zaxnet range? Would love to hear from people actively using it. I've used Zaxnet transmitting from my Nomad on its stubby antenna. I've used it exclusively for ERX units. I've never used its control features, since I've never had Zaxcom wireless, but now I'm considering it. I've more or less given up using ERXs for IFBs ... I've seen them drop out within 15' feet in line of sight, in all sorts of situations. My impression is that this has gotten worse since I got the Nomad in 2016 — I think 2.4GHz has gotten so busy that Zaxnet can't compete with modern devices in that spectrum. But ... I'd imagine sending control signals is probably a lot easier and more efficient than sending audio, so I want to ask specifically about range for controlling transmitters — is that range similar to the kind of range I can expect for the IFB audio? So, in 2023, what's the current state of Zaxnet? Is it usable with the default antenna in a bag rig? Is a dedicated transmitter better? Is a Nova better? Does transmitter signalling go farther than IFB transmission? Can I get a better (passive, bag friendly) antenna? I'd rather not go the amplification route if I can help it ... the extra power draw isn't worth it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
