Anyone using the Mix 12?

What are your thoughts? How do you monitor? How do you handle slate, talkback and comm with boom op?

TIA,

Larry

Hi Larry,

I was intrigued when Zax came up with the original Mix 12 idea, and was lucky enough that they asked me to help them yto Beta test it.

I too wondered about all those useful features of the analogue (and digital) stand alone desks and how I would get those features on the Mix 12.

Monitoring is easy - I monitor though the Deva, and with a combination of the Deva HP page and the solo buttons on the Mix 12 I am able to monitor whatever I want.

As regards to the comms facilities, the Mix 12 unlocks an extra page of routing within the Deva software. This allows the slate mic on the Deva to be routed (through 3 different hard buttons on the Mix 12) to a slate destination, a Comms 1 destination, or a Comms 2 destination. All three destinations can be separately programmed, so it is very flexible.

The Mix 12 also unlocks the ability to easily control EQ and Comp/Limiters within the Deva soft.

I kept my Beta tester, and use it almost every day that I have worked since.

I hope that this helps.

Kindest regards,

Simon--does using the Mix12 up the power draw of the Deva significantly?

There is no power draw on the Deva since the Mix-12 requires the use of it's own power source. Basically, it is a hardware interface into a lot of the features of the Deva.

So how much does the Mix 12 draw, then?

The Mix-12 only draws about 500ma of 12VDC, so it's pretty teeny-tiny. I suspect most of that is used up by the LED readouts and illuminated buttons.
