ZAXCOM RX8

The RX-8 is an extremely small 8-channel receiver interface for your bag or cart. Accepting audio from up to 8 separate transmitters, the RX-8 contains a built-in MicPlexer with antenna distribution and front-end filter for eliminating interference from unwanted RF. It is the smallest 8-channel radio mic receiver system in the world! An optional Dante interface with Power over Ethernet (PoE) facilitates remote location and control.

RX-8 can output 8 channels of analog or AES digital audio at 0 dB line-level on the DB25 connector. The RS422 connector pairs with a TRXCL5 or IFB300 to share the ZaxNet remote control commands. It has two SMA RF loop throughs for additional antenna distribution.

The RX-8 receives up to eight channels of audio from eight separate transmitters when loaded with 2 x MRX414 slot-in receiver modules.

The RX-8 has a front-end filter, so you can receive on any frequency in any block from 20 through 26 (512-698MHz) with an impressive range. Here's how that works: the filter allows signals within the 35 MHz tunable window into the receiver while blocking the interfering high-level signals outside this window. We let the good stuff in (your radio mic transmitters) and we keep the bad stuff out (walkie-talkies, the follow focus, vampires, etc.). Think of it like the bouncer outside a nightclub.

The RX-8's built-in MicPlexer gives you an additional 3dB of RF amplification and antenna distribution for the two internal MRX slot-in receiver modules and additional receiver channels connected to the RF output connectors of the RX-8.

The MRX214 and MRX414 modules are hot-swappable and can be added or removed in any combination at any time, making the RX-8 highly flexible for when receiver requirements can change on a daily basis.

The RX-8 receives a 100% digital signal that is fully encrypted and is compatible with all Zaxcom modulations and transmitters.

Four OLED displays contain the menus for each receiver pair and tactile pushbuttons make receiver selection and toggling through menus a breeze. The built-in frequency scanner and Auto-Pick software eliminates the guesswork and can coordinate and choose the best frequencies with a push of a button.

The RX-8 is powered via a standard 12V Hirose connector.

The RX-8's built-in frequency scanner and Auto-Pick software can scan the RF spectrum and choose the best receiver frequencies. Using ZaxNet, when paired with an IFB300 or TRXCL5, the RX-8 can re-freq transmitters to match it with just the touch of a button. This combo also lets you make quick and easy transmitter gain adjustments. The groundbreaking RX-8 with Dante opens new frontiers of remote receiver control that has only been dreamt of in the past.
