[QUOTE="Tane Glaus, post: 140193, member: 9201"] Re: Behringer X32 Firmware v3.0 Feature Requests As I understand the digital world, s/n is only an issue in the analog world at the A-to-D converter. If the noise doesn't exist, or isn't relative, at the A/D converter, it isn't in the binary sentence (so all 24 bits are still relevant). So while the "audio" is floating around in digital form you cannot introduce noise by having a low signal, as you would in the analog world. This is one of the main advantages to "digital audio, video, etc" vs analog. So the gentleman using the matrix mix to reduce gain shouldn't see any s/n problems. I do wonder about running your power amps wide open. Typically the power amps are the final stage in the gain structure and is where you set the volume level for the audience (mains) or stage (monitors). A "pop" from a broken cable or a cable being pulled out of a guitar could blow out a driver. Anyway, to each his own... [/QUOTE]
