Calibrate that Nomad Trim

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I was sending tone from a bunch of 411s to my Nomad on a job last month and I noticed that the trim was different for all of them, like a +/- 9dB-ish spread. I chalked it up to rental wear and tear, or maybe it being the way physics works or something. It was only after I did some bedtime reading of the Nomad manual that I realized that it was because my inputs had not been calibrated.

 

If you have a Nomad with serial # before 10688? 106*?*? something {Glenn?, Jack?).. Then you may want to do this. It is very simple and easy to do. And the instructions are very clear. It is not like it was a huge deal before I calibrated. It just makes things a little faster and easier.

 

Just Remember.

Firmware 6.01 or higher

Page 50 of the newest (Oct. 2013) Manual

 

 

That is All, Carry On-

"Caution: If this procedure is not followed exactly it could make the input trims not function correctly and you may not be able to recover normal trim operations and your Nomad will need to be sent back to the factory to be

re-calibrated which will not be covered under warranty."

I live dangerously.

Input trim calibration is quite simple to do - and actually even though the warning is there - it is quite difficult to mess up your trim.Though it is possible to do. But if you follow the directions exactly you will be fine.

 

I don't know the exact serial number that Zaxcom started fine tuning the trim at the factory but I will find out.
