[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 59811, member: 277"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A +1 on SAC. My little rig will do 48 inputs and 24 outputs. 8 seperate wireless remotes with full function including two .2 octave assignable Real Time Analyzers (I use one to follow the solo out which lets me instantly see any issues and one on the assigned output.)
