Re: AES50 Development
I would think most people with a modest grasp of AD-conversions understand that we are talking about a digital split with shared preamp gain, like most manufactureres offer as a cost-saving option.
For the AD converters to work satisfactory one needs to have the analog signals in the right ballpark first, which is why the operator needs to set the gains before the AD conversion.
The idea that you could route mic-level signals down a cat5 mult and use the preamps at FOH is, well, a little silly.
Not a big Behringer fan here, but taking a dig at them for false advertising is a little, oh I don't know, in this case...
