Richard Thomas Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 From what I can gather, this is exactly the purpose of this connector. 8 pins for Ethernet data (Ravenna, Dante, AVB etc) plus 2 big pins for DC power up to 50v. Ravenna and Dante can pass control data over the same ip network as the audio. I was thinking of AES3 over the accessory connector (AES3 works surprisingly well over cat5). The spec for both does say they'll run PoE over the RJ45 port too, though. May not even need the additional pins with the current required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Mr. Sax, Will you be building a hardware version of this to fit in my ST8D as a 16 track internal recorder? It would be nice to record 9+ tracks with easy metadata entry. This is what i told them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thomas Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Any picture with R4+ and K-TEK Junior Bag? Here's another- I've also bought a military style molle pouch which can attach to the front for tx/mic storage. Wireless cam link and IFB TX are in left pocket, TCS TX in right. NB it's possible to run over 6 channels of wireless in, but you run out of faders without the (yet to be available) control surface Edited November 23, 2015 by Richard Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thomas Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Not that I've been in the position to use the wifi much but any news on how much this option is or whether it's a user addition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the advantage of having an antenna vs. the normal system? That is a very bad choice for an antenna and antenna placement btw. Those antennas snap pretty quickly and its placed right in the work area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tresch Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hello Erkal, I hope Pierre or Jacques will chim in for the fonctionnalities. I understood that this is an option for some specific applications. I think you can change the type of the whip if you think it will brake (I'm not shure about what type of SMA antenna). On the 3/4 picture you can't see it but the connector is quite far away from any knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Patrick, Thank you, that is definitely a better option obviously but still curious about the idea behind adding an antenna now since no antenna works anyway? New features of some sort maybe ?

Arn Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hi everyone, I have been using my deva 5.8 pre-amps on set the last couple of years, but sometimes got annoyed by pushing the self-noise up with silent dialogue-scenes. Using the mix-8/ loving the fact of unplugging 1 cable when having to go in the bag and using the zaxcom wireless, i thought about buying external pre-amps going digital into the deva. (avoiding a big mixer-table,lots of cables) I bougth a sonosax sx-r4+ one month ago, loving the workflow of the machine, but gave it back to the dealer after 1 day since it gave much more self-noise then the deva itself. My dealer made tests comparing to a SD744 and came to the same conclusion. Communicated these results to sonosax-suisse whom had comments about how these tests were made, but at the end confirmed that these are normal sx-R4+ results. Anyone having the same experiences with the noise-level of this machine? (heard it are other pre-amps than the big sonosax-tables) Anyone other advice on 4 good preamps? (my kind dealer probably wants to retake the sonosax sx-R4+ since it totally lost his purpose for me) (this one day using the sonosax on set i got les noise on my zaxcom-sanken-lavs then the sonosax-mkh50-boom 20cm's above the talent's head) cant believe the sonosax-response... greetings from belgium arne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have one take more recently thinking "this is really noisy" and it was my monitoring settings as there was an unplugged XLR input with the fader open. May have been either that or the routings?

Stef Albertyn Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Mine is very quiet as well - after switching the headphone feeds. I can only compare with my studio Apogee Trak 2 and Lape People mic pre amp - and the Sonosax sits in the middle of those to as far as noise goes...
