Description
Zaxcom DCiRX defines a new class of professional audio receivers designed for filmmakers, broadcasters, content creators, and live production professionals who cannot afford compromise.
Powered by Zaxcom narrow-band direct conversion design, DCiRX operates in the UHF spectrum 470 to 698 MHz.
DCiRX can receive UHF audio from a single mono or stereo transmitter while simultaneously supporting a direct input for lavalier or 48V phantom powered microphones.
A built-in 4-track recorder captures up to 3 ISO tracks plus 1 mix track with timecode in 32-bit float or 24-bit fixed. A USB-C interface connects to mobile devices, computers, and USB cameras, delivering 4 channels of audio with timecode.
Dedicated outputs include balanced TA-5 for professional cameras, timecode, and headphone monitoring for confidence in the field.
DCiRX combines receiver, recorder, mixer, and USB interface in one compact unit.
*WARNING: Check microphone compatibility before turning on the DCiRX. NEVER apply 48V to standard 5V bias power lavalier microphones. Applying 48V will likely damage the microphone.
