Zaxcom ZMT4-X

Media

While any size card will work in the ZMT4-X transmitter we recommend using a 4GB Micro SD card. We also

recommend only buying a brand name card such as Transcend, SanDisk.

Please note Transcend Premium cards with the red stripe are not recommended.

And very importantly please buy all cards from a reputable dealer because counterfeit cards exist and can

cause recording issues.

We also highly recommend that all cards are tested before taking them out into the field.

Here is a simple testing procedure to determine if the card will function correctly:

1. Format the card in the transmitter.

2. Power cycle the transmitter.

3. Record at least 20 minutes of audio to the card with no time code source.

4. Look at the Main Screen it should still be recording in segment #1.

5. Playback and listen to the file.

Media Capacity

The ZMT4-X can use Micro SD cards, up to 16 GB. While any size card will work, we recommend using 4GB

cards. All cards that are used must be formatted in a 4 series transmitter to work properly; cards formatted

in any other series transmitter will not record properly. Please note that regardless of the size of the card

the onboard recorder will only be able to record up to 500 individual segments on any given card.

Available recording times depend on the selected modulation and are as follows:

Please note the transmitter will NOT record onto the card if:

The card was not inserted before the ZMT4-X booted up.

•

If the card was removed while the power was on.

•

If LOW BATTERY is being displayed.
