RPSharman Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi - I'd like this topic to focus on real and practical hopes for equipment we'd like to see in 2015, or perhaps 2016. Recorders. Mixers. Mics. Wireless. Anything. Practical and real hopes. I'd like to have a compact linear fader panel from SD for 16 channels of analog audio from line level sources, which will feed into 970. If this details into something silly, I'm going to delete the thread. So please let's keep this sensible. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneLouder Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I would really like to see a Zaxcom RX8. like the RX12 but smaller with only 4 slots for stereo RX's. for a lower price. Probably a long shot seeing as the RX12 just came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Deakin Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Sennheiser to finally release the MKH 8030 mic to complete the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bauman Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Sound Devices adopt a touch screen for their 9xx recorders, with a revamped (simpler) OS. Zaxcom recorder with Dante capability Zaxnet device capable of displaying TRX gain level A tie rig for the COS-11 that works in windy conditions (dreaming, I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominiquegreffard Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 A zaxnet slate. A maxx that can also record to a usb stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire soundie Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I would like Zaxcom to add the ability to view/control their equipment over wifi using a smartphone or tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foss Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Sound Devices redesigned update to replace the 744 model. 633 form + advanced power management/storage with 4 inputs of 7 series pre-amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 So something between the 633 and the 664 for size and inputs, with corresponding track count? That's more or less a 788T, but I get what you're saying. Maybe skip some advanced functionality like mix assist, but give us an extra "fader" or two from the 633, but keep the size and weight down from the 664. That'd be pretty sweet.

Derek H Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 A miniature stereo receiver from Zaxcom (think G3 sized). A Schoeps CCM with cut-1 built in.. OK stopping now Fun thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantin Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 MicPlexer 3 that will include power supply. And/or the Zaxcom equivalent to the Lectro Octopack. Rack with antenna/power distribution, rf filter and a place to put these receivers - which bug the hell out of me in terms of where to put them - and how - on my cart. A new SD recorder, something between the 970 and the 788. i don't need a much higher track count, but would love a bigger display, and more pre's than on the 970. bigger and more capable (eq, etc) Cl-9.

Mark LeBlanc Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 A 788t like recorder with more tracks (12 ISO Min) and corresponding control surface. Don't need Dante, bigger display would be nice, Bluetooth control/Meta data, separate Slate Mic Input. 2 bands parametric EQ. The Internal Drive / Int SD/CF card and External drive works for me, really don't see a need for more. A few more fields in the built in report function. On that note, the Cantar X3 feature set looks damm sexy. Zero interest in slogging around the swamps with a 970/Yamaha combo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Real: Looking forward to delivery of the temtaclesync kit. Fantasy land: A mixer surface with full throw faders, and transport buttons, for SD 664. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 A digital mixer with dante interface that is smaller and (much) lighter than the current Yamaha offerings. +1 for an RX8, and maybe even an RX4 or 6, where one could just swap the qrx212 modules when going between bag and cart. +1 for Zaxnet slate, one that shows scene and take info as well as timecode.

Matthew Sonnenfeld Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 A PSC Quad Pack. Like the Six Pack but for only two slot receivers, still delivering power and RF distribution. For small bag setups like a 633/Maxx in an Orca 30 or Stingray. WisyCom waterproof transmitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Visser Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Zaxcom RX8 + built in IFB Tx Zaxcom Maxx with built in Rx + IFB Tx Sound Devices 322T Sound Devices PIX 244Ki (4K capability) Sennheiser MKH 8030 (rather than a separate capsule, an-inline add-on for other 80000 series modules) Intel compatible Aaton Majix and Tarkan 2-channel + LTC LM/LT/SM Style transmitter w/ 2-channel + LTC slot-in receiver IFB receiver for 2 channel Tx (selectable L/R/L+R) oh, and for me to have enough money to buy the Deva 32 can we please get someone to make a durable dipole flexible whip, like the man pack military radio antennas?

Constantin Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 IFB receiver for 2 channel Tx (selectable L/R/L+R) Isn't that the Sennheiser iem300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertolomi Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 +1 for rx8 with ifb and qrx 200 as modules +1 for sennheiser 8030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Mega Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 New Lectro wideband IFB receiver with LCD screen (on top?) with multi storable channels (as opposed to the current 5 on R1a, which is clunky) and programmable names for each channel that can be selected by an indented knob rather than current push to scan to next frequency. Should also be able to be programmed to only receive one channel if desired for when used as talent cue receiver with neck loop and earpiece for example. Or those jobs where you don't want the user to flick between channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Mega Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Are you referring to Lectro IFB? I assume you are? As far as I'm aware, the only way to make R1a receivers stay on the frequency set by the hex keys is to remove a washer from under the scan knob so it doesn't engage and scan when accidentally pressed. If you know another way, please let me know!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathaniel Robinson Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'd love to see something like a Maxx sized RX4. 2 slots for new QRX212 modules and a Zaxnet IFB TX/RX built in (using Zaxnet commands over TC). Bolting onto the Maxx ala FP8, and interfacing over AES. Basically an ultra sleek setup for the low track count users. Very excited about Lectro's new digital technology, hoping we see recording transmitters and/or 2 channel receivers in this series soon.

thebrengun Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 If you remove all the stored frequencies then briefly depressing the button does nothing. It will of course still scan if depressed and held. Are you referring to Lectro IFB? I assume you are?
