Zax Stereoline Tx Limiter

[Jason Porter]

Hi group,

Does anyone know how to turn off the limiter on the old style
Stereoline transmitter?

I will call Eric @ Zaxcom on Monday, but I'd rather do it now (start a
shoot on Monday...)

Thanks

The limiter on that unit is there simply to protect the A/D converter,
not as an audio processor. It should not come in to play if your levels
are set properly, and there is no reason to defeat it.

With all respect, I totally disagree. If you are using these as
camera hops, you absolutely should defeat the limiter. Unless you
asked Zaxcom to defeat it at the factory, it came to you turned on. I
did this years ago with these transmitters and can run them much
hotter and limit on the SD mixer. Also, listen at the receiver and
you will find that even when the transmitter's (crude) level meter
goes to its "overload" reading of flashing three LED's, the audio is
still totally clean at the receiver. There is much more headroom than
you might think and with excellent SD limiters you are well-
protected. Anyway, here is how to do it:

Turn on the TXer and quickly press menu till you get to the "LOC"
page. Press the DOWN button several times quickly until the display
says CNF (you only have 7 seconds to get into the menu). You are now
in the super secret configuration menu.

Press Menu until you see the word "ron" pop up. The number that is in
this page adjusts battery tables and lock mode behaviour as well as
the limiter on/off setting. See what the number is and write it
down. You need to increment this number until there is a "1" in
front of it. So if it says "02" you want it to say "12" this will put
the Txer into "No Limiter" mode. This will be remembered when the
power is turned off.

Good luck!!

What is the idea gain structure when using the stereoline set as a
camera hop with an output coming from a 442. I think I have found an
acceptable balance but curious what the group is doing.
