Re: NAMM - report
Agreed the name recognition would not be suitable for a regional provider.... but there's still a large market of people out there capable of affording this while an LS9 might be out of reach. To the uneducated it's much flashier looking than the LS9 and certainly if the feature set really ends up being as advertised then it may steal a few sales away.
A lot has to be proven yet, and I do think that presonus' 16 and 24 channel lineups better suit a lot of users, but I'm thinking they are trying to use this to strengthen their market share outside of the MI world.
In fact, if you were concerned about long term reliability, consider that you could probably buy a new one every year and get a reasonable used price for the old one. If you bought and sold a new one of these every year it might work out to a similar end cost as owning and maintaining an LS9-32, possibly less. Kind of scary, isn't it?
That doesn't mean I'm planning to buy one any time soon, but I certainly am interested to see what happens with this.
