Zaxcom URX100

There are different TRRS wirings in use:

The URX uses the OMTP wiring scheme rather than the CTIA version that Apple uses.  Note that a TRS plug that standard headphones use will work in either due to the longer sleeve that contacts ground in both cases.

Thanks Jason, that did the trick.

boy, stay away from the trRs headphones with these!

 

What pouches are people using for these? Im in reality TV and need a protective pouch that still lets the producers change channels regularly.  ie. a pouch with a transparent window.

I use a clip made by sound guys solutions.

Same for me with using the Orca Pouch for my URX100, but I will likely get one of the Sound Guys clips as well.

 

I've been using my URX as a Director/Producer feed from my Camera Link. Perfect when the Director is mobile so they can have solid confidence monitoring wherever they happen to be.

 

I use my RX200 as either a Cam Hop or a Video Village headphone feed, of which I'll probably get another for the situations where I need both or a dual cam shoot, but my ERX's have been good at covering most of my Camera Hop needs when I'm relatively near to set. I have Comtek's and ERX's for the remaining people that need them - Comtek's for distance and ERX's for people nearby.

 

Going to be getting another URX as a Boom Op feed so they can select whether they are listening to Boom only on one frequency or my mix from my Camera Link on another and have a Private Line to each other via personal Walkies. It means having a Walkie and the URX on the boom person's belt, but it also means no cabling and a talk back system that is reliable and not too pricey. 

 

Sending Boom via a ZMT3-Phantom 2 and will likely get a TRX743 or another ZMT3 depending - I do like this as a solid Boom Op system...still need to decide how I'm going to use my secondary Zaxnet transmitter via my QRX235 though - possibly a mix plus personal talk back feed to AD or something like that. Any thoughts on this system are of course welcome!
