[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 148929, member: 162"] Re: Are reel snakes all they are cracked up to be? I'll grant you that, but analog snakes fail, too. You get to choose how you like your failures - partial and intermittent, or total but easier to test for and more definitive. Most of the problems I've read about relate to X32 folks trying to get by with unshielded cable. I've had no problems on my A&H boards with the manufacturer-recommended cable I use. As to stage box cost - we're still in a crossover point where in some systems you're paying for the A/D twice - both on the back of the board and remote stage boxes. That will continue to evolve. The A&H GLD, ILive, and DLive systems and most of the Avid desks presume the use of remote stage boxes, and have only a small amount of I/O on the control surface for things at FOH. [/QUOTE]
