Please visit www.horizonhob... for more information on the Spektrum iX12.
Keep tabs on important information without ever taking your eyes off what you are flying. The iX12 programmable voice alert system can call out what flight mode you have chosen or report telemetry info on demand. If an alarm goes off, you won't have to look at the display to see what's happening. The iX12 can tell you.
Text-to-speech means that you can create any voice alert by just typing in the words, it can even take *.WAV and .MP3 files so you can have virtually any sound imaginable. In addition to a built-in speaker, the iX12 has a headphone jack that allows you to monitor voice alerts, and/or listen to your favorite song during flight, using earbuds so you don't bother other pilots. You can also use its Bluetooth support to connect with wireless earbuds or your phone.
Use this video to better introduce you to the Spektrum iX12’s robust audio event system. We will give you some tips for setup and examples of helpful features inside the Audio Events Menu. In this video we will walk you through how to use Center Tone, Binding Alerts, Stepping alerts and custom reports. We even give you tips to on how to use the iX12 as your own personal routine practice caller and how to use your own sounds as audio events.
A great companion to this video and many of our Instructional videos is the Spektrum iX12 Manual found here - bit.ly/iX12Manual
The Spektrum™ iX12 radio is an intelligent 12-channel transmitter matched with a powerful combination of features and next-level connectivity. Groundbreaking yet comfortably familiar, RC pilots of all aircraft types can use the iX12 to out fly everything in its class. Literally "tap" into the iX12's programming. Its 4-inch, full-color, easy-to-read monitor delivers crisp, clear detail that includes state-of-the-art touchscreen technology so that navigation is simple. And, because the interface is a fully functional Android system with a dedicated quad-core processor, it will work with an evolving list of apps from the Google Play store.

About audio events, could you please explain what is "Audio Event FIFO" (System Settings / System configuration) ? thank you

[@quikness5284]

I digress.. this was a long time ago hopefully updated or something

[@quikness5284]

Just got the blue ix12 in today.. this video worries me because everything you touch on the screen doesnt respond or tou have to hit twice... scary for a 700 trans

[@kawasakizx14jomamamoto57]

I have a ix12 and everything works fine, except I have no trim beeps. I have checked everything thing I can think of.

[@patrickfreeman]

Myself and others are reporting that the speaker volume at max on the iX12 is really low. I estimate it to be lower than the 40% speaker volume setting on my DX9. While a bluetooth headset/earpiece can definitely help, that's not how I and many others like to fly at the field. I depend on the speaker volume and don't like using an earpiece. Max volume is not really usable at the field via the speaker due to this problem. What does HH have to say about this issue?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

We will look into these reports.

[@joevangorder1006]

Any updates horizon hobby? I would like mine louder also

[@nickschoenherr2238]

I just got an AR637TAS3x an SAFE 6Ch receiver for my IX12 how can I set it up so I can use it can you guys do a video on it I seen it done on dx6 and 8 but not on Ix12 let so I don't know how to get into it

[@mrt10352]

I think it’s dumb all my voice events don’t transfer over from my DX7 to the DX12

[@ralphfrasier2079]

I just received my IX 12, and imported all my airplanes from my DX9. Apparently the audio switch reporting functions do not appear to move over as well. I deleted and retried twice with ZERO results. Does this mean I have to manually reprogram every switch on every airplane? No one appears to be talking about this.....Before I purchased the radio , I was told by sales, and read in the manual, that I could export all models to the SD, and then import them from the SD to the IX 12. I assumed this meant ALL programmed functions. So Spektrum, what's the deal? Am I missing something?

[@lipofirefighter]

good luck with geting a reply been waiting 4 months for mine

[@mrt10352]

Same with me. I have 60 models. This is ridiculous, really thinking about sending this radio back. This lack of feature just blows my mind! 🤯

[@lipofirefighter]

Why dose my ix12’s inactivity alert sound while I am flying .not very popular on the flight line

[@gsm1021]

Why does the battery go dead really fast. Will the update fix the problem

[@jamesturncliff5960]

it would be fantastic if it had voice recognition.. THINK ABOUT THAT ONE

[@thisismecantuseeitsacz5823]

My DX9 is too loud glad they cut the volume on the ix12 👍🏻

[@ericrodriguez4090]

Is the speaker loud? Sounds like the speaker is lacking.

[@p.albert2755]

How to improve the bad quality of the speaker?

[@quikness5284]

Looks like I maybe shoulda waited for ix20

[@jaynap1970]

I know this is an old video, but hopefully someone will see this. Can you setup an audio event to give you Flight Pack %. as is shown on the SMART page of the screen? I am using an AR637T with a G1/G2 6s 4000mah smart battery connected to the Avian 100 esc. All I am able to get is the flight pack min/max volts . Then I have to do math and I get all confused. LOL Thanks in advance

[@scottmarks4734]

Yeah, the speaker volume is way too low.

[@skyreadyrc5873]

Just purchased this transmitter, and I am supposed to be able to run BetaFlight on it, but cannot figure out how to install BetaFlight on the transmitter. Github shows versions available for download for Windows, Linux, AMD and Mac. Downloaded the Windows file to the transmitter, but when I tried to open it, the transmitter displayed a message saying "cannot open file". Help!

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

We've never said that you can run Betaflight on the radio. We did, however, mention the radio runs perfectly with PIDFLIGHT. Look for that in the app store and then you can adjust PID's on the fly.

[@PropsnWings]

Any video showing us what or how to use the "userdefined1 thru "userdefined4" macros ?

[@robertp.8682]

I was wondering about those macros myself. There's nothing about them in the manual.

[@rb5235]

I know you can make your custom audio files. Two words that every real world pilot learns to says "Clear Prop". Then the fan begins to blow.

[@Martin100k]

Does it play multichannel simultaneously? I.e. When you have an mp3 playing and you flip another switch, it will report the setting of it immediately (instead of waiting till the present mp3 ends, which could take a while so you get a “stack” of reports)?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Yes it will play the file as the switch is hit...Not after the file is complete.

[@dustinl6838]

I still cant figure out how to download mp3 to my ix12. Can you help

[@jjlanda1171]

Through sd card

[@8888fonzie]

What is the use of al these audioevents if you cant hear them ? Pls fix the volume volume as request by many.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Hello, did you increase the volume in both the Airware app AND in the Android settings? This helps substantially.

[@8888fonzie]

Yes both volumes are wide open..nice radio buth the volume is the dissepointing factor.

[@Nikyfingas2023]

Is there a limit to how long those sound files can be?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Nope :)

[@Nikyfingas2023]

HorizonHobbyProducts Awsome, my Airwolf heli needs its theme song! Thanks

[@MrTurbine69]

[@rickfisher8974]

Many people including myself are not purchasing these because of the numerous problems people are reporting, Get with the PROGRAM Spektrum before someone else takes over this market. We shouldn't have such problems with something like this.

[@thisismecantuseeitsacz5823]

Rick Fisher I done ordered one 😆 y’all keep waiting or playing with frsky be on the ground all the time 🤫
