[QUOTE="Jim King, post: 59270, member: 156"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A That's fantastic! I will say, though, that what the SAC community is constantly struggling with is good ways to have a digital snake that goes right into the computer -- with remotable pre-amps. Most of us look at the S16 and keep trying to find a good way to make use of it for this. Might I suggest a solution that you *almost* have: A SuperMac to ADAT converter that can convert two to three lines of SuperMac to ADAT input/output, and also control the pre-amps and phantom (bonus if its controllable by MIDI or ethernet so that software can be written to save the pre-amp and phantom settings). Then we could all use your S16 on stage as a digital snake head, but not have to convert to analog and back at the FOH point -- digital all the way through. By going to ADAT, you avoid having to create and maintain a computer interface and drivers -- you can leverage the ones that already exist from RME, MOTU, etc. and the product can be used without change as computer interfaces change technologies. All the technology for this already exists in the S16... it's just the wrong form factor for the FOH end of the snake in that it forces us to convert to analog and back, rather than just being able to keep the signal digital. Ideally, I'd have two S16 on stage, and the above described box plus a ADA8200 at FOH. [/QUOTE]
