Zaxcom VRX

[RadoStefanov]

I have been testing VRX with comtek transmitter and just got the Nova One Unit with the internal card.

I am testing the analog transmitting at the moment and will report back.

What do you mean Nova one unit?

[Olle Sjostrom]

One unit is a thing that Rado built before Zaxcom manufactured the Nova. I think it was a Nomad that Rado opened up and put receivers inside of it? There’s a thread on here. 
anyway, oneunit is now a Rado trademark that he uses when talking about the Nova, because the nova was probably inspired by Rado. But I dunno

One Unit is a term i coined when I designed the all in one shell recorder receiver transmitter antenna distribution and power.

Nova was supposed to be call one unit but somebody taught it sounds like a male genitalia.. 🙂

So now only my version serial number one is called OneUnit and has it engraved.\

Cool, that’s kinda what I thought. Yes, I remember the FrankenNomad. Pretty cool. Didn’t it have an NP1 slot too?

 

Rado, what say you about the VRX? Some friends of mine tested one here in Chicago, comparing it to a standard Comtek setup and also Lectro IFB and Sennheiser gear. They thought that Lectro T4 with an IFBlue was the best. Of course not really an apples to apples test.

I’ve been using them for several months in conjunction with my Comtek receivers. They sound a bit better to me than the 216s. The squelch seems to be better too. The only negative I’ve noticed is that there is a (not terrible but) noticeable delay compared to the comteks.

SMall delay is actually beneficial for video monitor delay

copy, but we have to take into account the Lectro T4 is blasting 1/4watt compared to, say the bst-25 (100mw) and the new nova card which sounds like it might be 50mw (still more than option 7 small tx).
