[QUOTE="Stuart Høgg, post: 17752, member: 148"] Re: multi pin connectors I've thought about this myself. We've been on a bit of a crusade to simplify the setup and teardown required for typical events and I've probably spent a fair bit of money on saving time and effort. $1000 extra for the disconnect. How long would you expect the multicore to last? Maybe ten years of moderate use? So that equates to $100 per year. If you have the multi out once a week, that equates to $2 per gig. How long does it take to plug up 32 XLRs? How much are you paying for labour, or what value do you put on your own time? We've gone down a different route, using Roland consoles with a digital snake solution. This cost at least the same amount of money to implement. It saves us a lot of time, but what I find makes the difference is that saving time on those aspects of the set up mean that we have time to deal with other things that come up - whether that's a little more time spent on soundcheck, or solving some other aspect of the customer's requirements. That's where it really begins paying for itself. [/QUOTE]
