Zaxcom Aria-8 Mixing Panel

Machined from a solid block of aluminum for rough location work, the Zaxcom Aria-8 is an eight-fader mixing panel for Zaxcom Nova, Nomad, and Deva 24 mixer-recorders.

It works on its own or grows to 12 or 16 faders with one or two Aria-4 extension panels, so a cart can carry a full 16-fader setup. Unplug one cable and the recorder is ready to leave the cart for a bag.

Solid-State Faders

The faders have no internal moving parts to wear out. Their openings are sealed under a Teflon sheet set into the fader tracks, which keeps dirt and dust out of the mixer.

Routing and Control

Each trim knob works as an input trim or as a ZaxNet remote gain control for a Zaxcom transmitter, and any input channel of the recorder can go to any fader.

Transport controls, headphone presets, mix-track routing, and track record enables are on the panel itself.

Keyboard and Touch Screen

A USB port takes a wired or wireless keyboard for metadata entry and recorder shortcuts with a Nova. The panel also connects to Nova Touch for a full-size touch screen.
