I suppose if you're used to mixing with your right hand, although the faders operate upside down. SQN mixers have the screen on the left. Can also see it being useful if the bag's buried in a car footwell or something and it's easier to access it the other way around. 1 minute ago, RadoStefanov said: might not be available in the US version.

I'm the guy who asked for the "screen-flip" feature. As I'm left-handed, I usually boom with my left arm and have the bag hanging on my right side. As my right arm covers the screen when adjusting the faders, I've always preferred mixers and recorders which have the meters and/or LCD screen on the left-hand side. With the screen flip, you may put the R4+ upside-down in your bag, flip the plastic caps of the faders and use the machine with the screen on the left-hand side, which is a huge plus in my book! :-) Then I assign fader 4 to the boom and faders 3, 2 and 1 to wireless mics. 10 hours ago, Richard Thomas said: Only for Southern Hemisphere customers (sorry) The built-in GPS module will detect when you cross the equator and disable the "screen flip" feature ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Deakin Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm left handed as well. I've always just lived with things the way they are and gotten used to working around obstacles like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Anderson Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 does anyone know if they're going to look into making a unislot receiver mount, like an sl-6? I'm sure many would be interested to see something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure many would be interested to see something along those lines. It does have 2 UART serial connections on the accessory port, and I've been told that Jacques was "interested in superslot", so could definitely see it as a possibility. On the other hand they've still got the preamp unit and control surface(s?) to make...

Cloud Wang Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 the RC8+ is really great add-on ,I hope they can make a bigger size fader control panel, the one they announced before is too tiny at least for me,the recorder self can be as small as possible but why make that fader control panel so small ? The system is almost there if they can release a bigger 12 faders control panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system is almost there if they can release a bigger 12 faders control panel. The RC8+ looks great, and totally fits what I'm after. It also has a built in hirose power distro, slate mic and AES breakout to TA3. I'd be interested to know whether any existing inputs are used by the slate mic. I hope they're putting together something bigger for the fader panel, again I've fed back that the initial one was too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Just to follow on, the slate mic uses one of the AES channels on the accessory port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thomas Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Here's some cabling I've had made, along with part of the db25 mount for the audio ltd RF distro. Both RX are powered from the recorder and signal is AES3 fed to the accessory port inputs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAX Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Nice assembly, I don't think we have to make a SUPERSLOT frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think about getting the serial connections in place for superslot, but would have required different cable that Stuart (who made it) didn't have in. For running more receivers, would a serial mutiplexer be required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
