Spice Up Your Zax Life04/24/2017 Zaxcom showed up at NAB with a whole spate of great new products expanding the capability of their existing line!First off we have the new members of the ZMT3 family! Same tiny form factors with all the recording and ZaxNet features of the original ZMT3, but the ZMT3-Phantom Transmitter adds selectable phantom powering for a transmitter you can easily add to the shotgun end of your boom pole and the ZMT3-HM Plug-in Transmitter makes your microphone into a incredibly small handheld unit! Note: the video erroneously says that the ZMT3-Phantom and ZMT3-HM have Neverclip. Please be aware that this is not the case.Then there's the ZFR400, Zaxcom's next generation of their Bodypack Audio Recorders! This go-round it's built into the same compact frame as the ZMT3 for their smallest version yet, It retails for $975 and will be shipping mid-MayThe RX-12R Digital Wireless Rack Receiver takes everything in the RX-12 receiver box and repacks it for a wideband receiver with a full tuning range of 512 – 698 MHz and a 35 MHz tracking front end filter in a convenient 1.5 rack mount frame. It retails for $2995 and will ship early June.And last, but certainly not least, there's the Deva 24 Recorder, which will start shipping in July, price TBA! It's got an intuitive touchscreen interface, ZaxNet integration, MixAhead, and a lot more, all in a compact frame with a detachable front panel for a super versatile set-up that was worth the wait!

Think Small01/27/2017 The Zaxcom ZMT3 miniature wideband transmitter is extremely lightweight and compact, measuring approximately 1.5" x 2.3" x 0.5" (about the size of a Zippo lighter) and weighing in at 2.2 oz (with battery)! Despite its incredibly low profile, it requires almost no compromises, sharing most of the features of its larger siblings, including built-in backup recording with time code, NeverClip, and Zaxcom High Density (ZHD) modulation. (Here's a handy ZHD transmitter comparison chart)New to the ZMT is the capibility to output audio or time code for jamming through the mic connector, an A-D converter with a 108 dB dynamic range (~5dB wider than previous models), and a removable screw on top to allow for mounting or hanging. A standard rechargable Fuji NP-50 or compatible battery will power the unit for up to five and a half hoursThe ZMT is priced at $1775 and expected to start soon, so get those pre-orders in now - initial supply will be limited and fulfillment will be first come, first served!In the meantime, check out Glenn Sanders and Peter Schneider going super-deep on the ZMT's feature set: Read more about Think Small 0 comment Share Tweet

From the premiere of the Deva24 to the first examples of their high density wireless to a new slot-in receiver to a combination IFB/wireless microphone transceiver, there's something for everyone!Watch the videos for the inside scoop on all of it, directly from Glenn Sanders at the Zaxcom factory:Deva24 Mixer/RecorderOne of the most impressive things about the Deva24 is the versatility of its form factor - it can operate either as a compact cart unit or with its front panel remote via umbilical for even distribution of weight when bag mixing. It also features Zaxcom's new MixAhead capability.TRX Transmitters with ZHDThe Zaxcom TRXLA3 and TRXLT3 bodypack transmitters and TRX743 plug-on transmitter are built with the new Zaxcom High Density modulation, which gives them increased range and allows them to operate only 100 kHz apart!SRX220 Wideband ENG ReceiverAt last, a Zaxcom slot-in receiver is here with stereo and time code output and compatibility with all existing Zaxcom transmitters, including ones with ZHD.TRXFB IFB/Microphone TransceiverThe ZTRXFB combines all the features of a Zaxcom IFB and a bodypack transmitter into a single unit - great for newscasters, referees, or anyone who usually needs to wear two units to hear and be heard.Zaxcom HubThe Hub adds touchscreen control to all parts of a Nomad rig, including the FP8 control panel and RX12, enabling a sound mixer to have a complete recording system operated only with the control panel and Nomad touch.
