johnpaul215 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Just guessing, but I think maybe some of the buttons will be user assignable? So that would mean the buttons can do any thing you ask of it. I think the oasis looks great. I wish it was just a stand alone mixer, with neverclip preamps and not a control surface for a nomad. It just looks that good and well thought out. Or it could be both! In the video you can see the back of it, and there isn't a row of XLR inputs. *looks like* they are power input and some USB shaped connections (not sure if that's USB or serial). A Zaxcom location intended standalone digital mixer would be a great item, but I think a lot of people will be happy with a Nomad control surface accessory. That will definitely keep cost/size/weight down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah I'm guessing the same thing. Just a shame, that's all. The solice (mini) needs some real competition imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Rx200 - what kind of crazy cable(s) will i have to make for you? Want to make sure i have everything ready for when you arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Two channels of audio out on an TA5. Time code out on a bnc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm looking forward to being able to pfl with linear faders attached which I can't do with the mix8 now. Also excited to see the new control options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Sjostrom Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Real competition: http://www.audio.co.uk/audio-mixers/ad256/ That's beautiful! But way too expensive to really be in the same league of competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 That's beautiful! But way too expensive to really be in the same league of competition? Well, according to one of the "usual suspects": PSC Solice 8 channel -- $9,950.00 AD256 8 channel -- $9,476.00 I'd say pretty much in the same league of competition. If you meant the Solice Mini instead of the Solice, well that's a completely different discussion. It's aimed at competing with the dedicated fader panels.

DodoHu Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 the rx200 is exactly what I have been waiting for! So I am in. Is there a chance, the other thing I am hoping for is coming too this nab? It is an updated version of the trx742 with tc and mono out (like on the erx2)? I really hope that will happen soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy P Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 And why mono out - given that it is primarily a transmitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Will any of the many buttons on the Oasis be for easy, or direct access to phase inversion for inputs? Having worked with the deva we found it easier to use an inline barrel adapter for phase reverse, rather than setting it in the machine where it wasn't immediately obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Deakin Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I to was trying to figure out what was the need for the hoped upgrades to the trx742. I can't figure out why that would be needed especially the time code out. Okay the mono out might be good for a boom op if the tx is at the bottom of the pole but other then that can't see how they would be useful. Trx742 is pretty great as is.

johnpaul215 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 They made the TRX942 for that use. That will give you a much better headphone amp. Looks like it's discontinued, so either they have a replacement in the works, or found that most people are just using a TRX742 and an ERX getting signal from the cart (which is what I would do).

Tom Visser Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 A 742 with timecode out and analog scratch you for monitoring would make another great camera solution as you could stick them, along with a short shotgun, on the camera to get the camera mic to your bag and provide feeds to the cam without having to stick on another device. There are many situations where the camera mic can go places you cannot. I'd love this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never tried it on mine but that's why I bought it for when I buy a super cmit. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
