Network audioWhy deal with the channel limits of whatever FW interface you find? There are network products that will do what you want with the addition of a network switch. Telos Axia audio nodes will give you 16 line in and 16 line out at every node. They cannot plug directly into each other, so require a commercial grade switch, but can be expanded up to many hundreds of channels, with an open network topology. You can put I/O boxes anywhere you need them. They can co-exist with other data on the network, so you can send control data over the same network, or even Internet access. Using the right switches you can go as far as you want over fiber, or Ethernet distances over CAT5 or CAT6.There are other option than Telos, but that is the one I have been using for at least 4 years.Mac
