[QUOTE="Brett Tippet, post: 65935, member: 2194"] Re: X16 Preview I'm sure Uli won't respond to this .. but it does seem X16 was initially marketed as a smaller version of the x32. Based on this, I would have expected a Rackmount X32 - which would be bliss (and a great add on monitor console?). Based on - "Although the S16 was initially designed for use with our flagship X32 and X16 digital consoles, any mixing board with AES50 networking capability can tap into the S16's powerful feature set. So if you happen to work on an analog mixing board occasionally, you could use two pairs of S16 and ADA8000 to form a high-performance, lightweight 16 x 16 digital snake— all on one CAT5 connection, keeping the preamp remote control functionality."

This would be a shame ..
