enginufuk Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 From what I see, something tells me that it's a move towards a "combination concept" similar to/between SD 970 form and Mackie DL32R type control in compact format with perhaps Zaxcom specific removable, wireless, touch screen controller. An alternative instead of ipad. Dante/Madi support... I think the sound industry is moving towards the idea of; 1- Let's get rig of the connection clutter out of eye sight. 2- Give the user touch screen controlled, user friendly interface with fully configurable device control. And as always devices for our industry will evolve slower, more consciously and will be carefully produced versus general pro audio world where we see product "experimentations" almost every year.

Mirror Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 On the other news old Deva, Fusion and Mix12 has been discontinued. Oh really? Quote
enginufuk Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 One unit devices are where I would like everything to go. I agree... Also I personally hope that our industry do not get lost in the adaptation of "cool" tools (tablets, phones...) as much and keep focusing on reliability and technical advancements on crucial user needs. (my two cents until the days we see the first pro user tablets start to advance.) Quote
Abe Dolinger Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Recording an orchestra on a 32-track bag recorder, while silly, would make me incredibly happy. All kidding aside Solid Goldberger predicted something like this about a month ago in casual conversation. Maybe he has an inside line or is just a smart guy. Quote
Marc Wielage Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Wow, that's very cool. Glad to see Zaxcom pushing things forward! I hope they have a Dante Ethernet connection! I'm also curious to see if they'll come out with a new version of the Mix-12 -- preferably one with a very simple connection, like USB. Quote
Vincent R. Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 I'm also curious to see if they'll come out with a new version of the Mix-12 -- preferably one with a very simple connection, like USB. +1. And midi based. Quote
studiomprd Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 will it be possible to upgrade the older models ? Quote
Jeff Wexler Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Posted December 13, 2014 I think it is highly unlikely that there will be ANY upgrade path to Deva 32. The closet analogy or example I can think of as it would relate to another company's product, it would be like wanting to update a Sound Devices 788 to a Sound Devices 970. Quote
John Blankenship Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Of course SM knows that and only posed the question to augment his count of useless posts to clutter the forum landscape. Quote
studiomprd Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 will there be a trade-up offer ..? Quote
Jeff Wexler Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Posted December 13, 2014 will there be a trade-up offer ..? No. Stop asking silly questions (or ask the question to the Manufacturer). Quote
soundtrane Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Will Glenn take my Cantar X2 and give me a Deva 32 for 25% of the price? That would be revolutionary and "rad"!! Quote
soundtrane Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Has Colleen got new hair colour? now, now... that's classified info Simon... Quote
studiomprd Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 I was hoping to upgrade, or trade up my DEVA II Quote
Ze Frias Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 I was hoping to upgrade, or trade up my DEVA II It depends. You should contact Zaxcom directly with your inquiries. Quote
Olle Sjostrom Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Add a 3 before the II and you're done. Quote
Victor Rubilar Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 I imagine it with a very big touch screen, some butons, and maybe 2 knobs, the other knobs in an external device like FP8, plus a new fader controller. Quote
Marc Wielage Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 I was hoping to upgrade, or trade up my DEVA II I think The Senator raises a good point: Zaxcom did offer upgrades from the original Deva I to the Deva II, and there was also a (limited) upgrade path from the Deva II to the Deva 4 & 5. On the other hand, I don't see Sony offering people the ability to trade in their 2002 F950's for an F55. (Even though the former cost 4 times cost of the latter.) And I don't see Apple offering upgrades from a 2009 Mac to a 2014 Mac. Quote
Christian Spaeth Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 I was hoping to upgrade, or trade up my DEVA II you'll get more if you put it up in the want to sell section. You'll have to cope with annoying posters in that section though, spamming the FS threads... oh wait, that's... Quote
glenn Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 It is nice to read some of the speculation in this thread regarding what we might be working on. The last entirely new concept in recording was the introduction of the DevaII in 1996. Everything that has come along since has been variations on our hard disk based recording system. As advertised this will be an entirely new system/concept. We were not thinking outside the box. We had no box to start with. 2015 will be a very interesting year. I would like to let some of the details out but we must keep things under wraps for a little while longer. Glenn Quote
Tom Visser Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 No box, gotcha - so it is spherical! Quote
Chris Woodcock Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 It uses a neural interface which hooks into your brain which will provide most of the processing power and DSP Quote
VASI Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 There is a bug with Deva 32. Deva 32.1 will be posted in Zaxcom forum soon. Ok. Ok. Don't hit me with boompoles. Haha I hope the new Deva will become with audio network capabilities, new GUI and simple menu structure. Quote
