[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 124868, member: 211"] Re: SI Performer/VI ? to replace GB series The cost for the DMX ability built into the Performer series is a pretty hefty premium for not a very powerful DMX controller. Heck, a $100 external DMX controller will give you the functionality you need for a stage wash and a few LED cans. While there are also a few extra features, The SI expression is $2500 less. Now you can afford to have 32 channel stage boxes on each rig, and use an external DMX controller that actually fits your needs. Soundcraft, A&H, and Behringer are all pretty much competing in the same space with their Expression, QU and X32 lines, with the X32 as the one that gets the most bashing because of the brand name. I'd take any of them as a replacement for your larger analog boards. My current pick is the X32 line because of the X32 rack. For only a couple dollars more than what the SoundCraft 16ch stage box goes for, I have a stage box AND a mixer. No, it's not the top of the line brand name, but the sound quality has been as good if not better than my older analog gear that I replaced. [/QUOTE]
