Manufacturer's Description:
The Zaxcom Stereo Adaptor is an interface that plugs onto the side of a TRX900, TRX900AA or ZFR100 transforming it from a single channel into a 2-channel transmitter and/or recorder.

Features:

• 2-Channel line level input
• Time code input
• Time code / Audio output
• External power input

The Stereo Adaptor provides added flexibility to your wireless by enabling a standard mono channel to instantly become a bag to camera stereo link. It provides two balanced audio inputs thus eliminating the typical ground loop problems often found when using wireless transmitters in sound bag configurations.

The dedicated time code input can be used to synchronize the internal time code generator of the TRX900/ZFR100 or for auto-loading audio to the memory card. In auto-load mode there is always an exact match of audio recorded on the ZFR100/TRX900 and on the video camera.

The time code / audio output connector can be used as either an audio monitor for playback of audio/confidence monitoring or as a time code output to jam other devices. The function is software selectable.

The external power input allows the Stereo Adaptor and host unit to be operated from a 12 volt external power source.
