[QUOTE="Simon Coffin, post: 14041, member: 388"] Greetings folks, Somewhat related to an earlier thread I posted about new consoles for the State Theatre. The A&H GLD looks like a pretty capable iLive replacement except the stage boxes make no sense. The GLD is advertised as a 48 channel console, including internal FX returns and such, it's actually 56 inputs. So why is it not capable of using two of the AR2412s stage boxes for a nice even 48 inputs? Instead you have to use an AR2412 with an AR84 expansion plus an AB168 stage box. That just looks like a cobbled together solution. A&H also does not offer a dSnake option card despite the slot apparently being capable of the IO. Not having any on-board IO, the GLD is depending on it's stage boxes which makes this odd ball solution look even more like an oversight. Does anyone have any experience using Ethersound stage boxes like the Yamaha SB168-ES on the GLD or any other external IO? Cheers, [/QUOTE]
