[QUOTE="Adam Robinson, post: 41935, member: 43"] Re: Digico SD11 Jason For years I did shows on D1s and D5s running MADI over coax with no redundant link. I was always sure that if my snake crossed foot-traffic on the ground it was protected by a true cable ramp (not like a piece of carpet). I would do the same for a single ethernet-style snake run, including going over doors, etc. It's just one cable and should be pretty easy to string along in a venue to get out of peoples' way. It actually wasn't until on tour with the SD8 (which has a redundant snake connection) that I actually needed redundancy. The previous evening, a stage hand had pulled too hard the wrong way while retrieving my snake and one of the BNC connectors had been beheaded. Rather than say anything, it was just pushed back on (where it of course wasn't making a connection). Hindsight being 20/20, I admit I should have inspected the connectors before hooking everything up, but I didn't, and didn't realize there was an issue until after the show was over. If you're so concerned with a failsafe digital snake for a compact console, what about looking at the SD8-24 (or SD10-24)? Even the SD9 only has single runs to its remote racks. [/QUOTE]
