Zaxcom Nomad at NAB

["oryoki2000" oryoki2000]

Zaxcom is showing the Nomad, a new multitrack recorder line, at the NAB con=
vention in Las Vegas this week.  The Nomad 6 has XLR mic inputs, 6 AES digi=
tal inputs, SMTPE time code generator, and a 6 channel mixer.

See http://www.zaxcom.com/Nomad.html for initial information about the Noma=
d.

The price for the Nomad 6 is reported to be $4400. A version with 4 XLR inp=
uts only, no digital inputs, time code or mixer, costs $3300.

The Nomad 6 is about the same size and weight as the Sound Devices 788T, wh=
ich puts it right on the edge of portability for field use.  (Those who lug=
ged Uher and Nagra tape machines for days in the field are laughing our lou=
d right about now.)
