[QUOTE="Jon Malmstrom, post: 76533, member: 2464"] Re: New Behringer iQ series networked speaker lineup Karl, i agree. Let us hope that they will listen to us, If the decided on the pro level of powercon, why not use Ethercon? I can not come up with an idea why they chose ultranet instead of AES. Maybe to reduce cost in DSP interface engine? Or do they anticipate that the ultranet interface not will be widely utilized by the means of xiQ instead of P16's? I can only guess, but since the ultranet is behringer proprietary, the have designed it so the interface also will have space for FoH and monitor channels in addition to the P16 channels.
