[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 76516, member: 2121"] Re: New Behringer iQ series networked speaker lineup Pre-release conjecture and concern, based only on the limited info out there at the moment... The CAT5 is Ultranet, not the full AES50. You'd have to send your main L+R signals to two of the Ultranet channels, losing two from the P16 monitoring system. Not good. Also, the CAT5 connectors are RJ45 without the Neutrik barrel that the S16s have. Why, on both counts? It would have been better to be able to route any of the 16 outs on the X32 or S16s to the speakers and for those speakers to have proper locking connections for the CAT5 hookup. Wouldn't it? Mind you, it's likely that that sort of thing is beyond the capabilities of the AES50 system, hence using Ultranet instead. But with a full 16 channels in use with 5 x P16s, how am I supposed to be able to lose 2 or 3 (aux fed subs) channels for FOH? Oh yeah, analog connections. Kind of does away with the the 'fully digital' aspect of the system, which would be a shame. Still, at this stage, no-one knows how they sound. They could be awful to average. Then again, they could change this game as well... Karl. [/QUOTE]
