[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 90741, member: 2121"] Re: New Behringer iQ series networked speaker lineup Andrew, You know the band I work with. We're not all that far up the food chain. We use P16-Ms for all the band members and use all 16 channels. We submix the drums and the keyboards. The drummer hasn't mentioned any problems. We're working out how to have the keyboards (pre/post fade/EQ, etc), but it's been a success. The S16's are fantastic. Every venue we've used them at, the house techs have been relieved not to have had to haul 32+ channels of copper from the stage to FOH. What can I say? They work. What's not to like? I like the idea of the IQ speakers, and can even get over losing two Ultranet channels (you can create a second Ultranet system using the P16-i and some ADAT optical cables). The price would have to be right and they would have to sound amazing. With $ prices usually equalling the £ price, we'd be spending £4k on subs alone.
