Choose Primary Folder

All files are recorded into individual folders. This menu lets you choose which folder the audio files will be
recorded to. To select a folder scroll the MENU knob to highlight the folder then press the MENU knob. At
that point the green check will indicate the folder that will be recorded to.
After selecting a folder that folder can be renamed to help identify its contents.
To name the folder hit the back button to return to the primary CF menu then scroll down to the Edit Current
Folder Name then press MENU Knob to change the name of the folder. The folder name needs to be nineteen
characters or less, and cannot contain spaces or symbols.
The primary audio is recorded as a Zaxcom MARF file (Mobile Audio Record Format). The advantage of MARF
is that if there is any power loss while recording there will not be any loss of recorded audio, as is common
with all other portable recording systems.
In the event of a power loss while recording: at power-up, Maxx will automatically close any open files to the
point the audio recording was interrupted with no loss of audio up to that point. Even though Maxx uses a
proprietary file system, it is 100% compatible with Mac or PC by using the free file conversion utility
ZaxConvert. The latest version can be downloaded from www.zaxcom.com. All MARF files can be converted to
either a BWAV or MP3 files.
Green checkmark indicates which folder
receives the recorded audio.
NOTE: Mirror mode needs to be set to OFF
before you can change primary folders.
