Re: X16 Preview


Just to be historically accurate - the designed it with the 30-pin connector Apple had been using forever. Then one day Apple announce their new products with the Lightning connector WITHOUT GIVING MACKIE ANY ADVANCED NOTICE. Yes, that right - we all knew about the change to the Lightning connector the same day as Mackie. Apple sucks eggs. Anyways Mackie then designed a new connector board for the Lightning connector which they offer as a retrofit. They are also selling the mixer with either connector. If you really want it you can get both connector boards but it's not a quick change. Mackie's only "horrible mistake" IMO is thinking that Apple doesn't suck eggs. Oh, and did I mention that Apple sucks eggs ? Well, they do.

 

BTW I own two iPad 2's and one iPad Mini. Aside from a couple Steve Job's mandated "issues" they ain't too bad - maybe now that he's dead they can move to hydraulic brakes (obscure Henry Ford reference). iOS7 is definitely a step in the right direction. I do have to say that battery life is incredible! I have a @#$%^&* Samsung Galaxy S3 that can't go 12 hours on a charge if you actually use it. I can get two gigs out of my iPad Mini if I have to and about two months on standby 8O~8-O~:shock:.
