Jeff Wexler Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Joe Pfeil did a fantastic short video showing how easy and how quickly you can set up your wireless with Zaxcom Nova. No need for Wireless Designer, Freq Finder, etc., just a few simple button presses and you're good to go. The video is very short (since the setup is very quick).

Moesound Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hey Jeff, That’s a slick set up. It’s phenomenal how far our sound world has come in so short a time. We should all count our blessings at all the options at our disposal these days. Thanks for sharing. Moe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Quite a busy scan though. That's the wonder of it all I guess, that it works anyway. In Sweden, even in the busiest parts, I probably would never have that much RF... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with the repack, seems everything got thrown into that range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I don’t think any manufacturer requires the use of Wireless Designer or FreqFinder. Personally, I use the latter to keep track of who has what and is where, not so much to coordinate frequencies. The speed of the Nova system however is envy inducing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted March 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I hope no one thought I was implying that other manufacturers require the use of any of these external helpers --- I was aware of most of these things, like Wireless Designer, Freq Finder, the various apps to calculate intermod, etc., from watching and talking to other sound mixers who seem to need these things when setting up their wireless at the beginning of a day. I cannot weigh in on this personally because I was one of those rare sound mixers who did not use much wireless, even up to the last movie I did before retiring. Point of interest, for many years I had 4 Audio, Ltd. wireless in the 2000 series model, not even frequency agile! After those became pretty much useless, I went with Zaxcom Digital wireless and stayed with those. I posted the short video because I was impressed with the ease with which you can accomplish the whole scanning, frequency assignment routine compared to just about all the other systems commonly in use today.

Mattias Larsen Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 It is very very impressive indeed. Wonder if we start to see something similair from other manufacturers with RX that recieve 4-8 channels, possibly over bluetooth since the new wisy and the 8 series both incorporate it. The nova is very well thought out it seems. The coordination, sync, compactness, 16 tracks and the new automix seems all very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
