[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 24916, member: 441"] Re: Any firewire experts here? I am investigating the different possibilities for transferring multiple audio lines from one location to the next without using traditional cabling and am wondering whether a cat5 cable with a firewire extendor and interface either end is plausible. The interfaces would have to have the correct connections to mate up with whatever needs to be connected on the gig in question: This could be mic preamps or line level ADs or adat interfaces for digital mixer I/O or analog I/O for analog mixers. I have no firewire interfaces. From a technical standpoint, why will this not work? I was thinking more along the lines of two stand-alone interfaces talking to eachother and just transferring whatever comes into one out of the other. Does this mean that something like the Presonus digital mixer firewire connections cannot be used for the socalled "virtual soundcheck" Thank you for your time. [/QUOTE]
