Patrick Tresch Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Just got mine 😉 everything works like a charm (with beta FW 4.0) I do use a MCR54 in one slot.  The R4+ and the RX8+ with an Audioroot 48wh and a 96wh battery is 3.55 kg (7,8 pounds). 13hours to empty with 4x analog 48v and 8x AES in and 4rx enabled MCR54.      Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Super nice Patrick. Swiss equipment envy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Very slick. It's a shame we don't come across these too often here stateside. I'm sure those pre's sound phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the portabrace bag and it fits perfectly? Just about to order the RX8 and use for Wisycom too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a custom made (adapted from r4 bag https://en.vocas.nl/porta-brace-ar-sxr4-audio-recorder-sonosax-sx-r4-black.html ) but the 96wh battery needs a cut out... work in progress.  The important thing with the module is : - either you don't have any mechanical contact between the R4+ and the RX8+ other than the AES/Power cables. - or you use the metal brakets given by Sonosax.  I must admit that ground loops and other electronic interference is something I don't understand nor manage to control.

Philip Perkins Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Wait...Sax has a ground loop when the 2 chassis touch each other?  Even if interconnected with cables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the equipment is so complex with interferrence from recievers and other electronics noise that I just follow what they tell me. Last time I heard a spill on the playback on a track wich was not recorded and at the end it was a faulty cable on my side. They tackled the problem and changed the pin soldering of the cable I bought in Germany. And it worked. So I don't mess with this kind of "black magic" for my understanding.
