[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 117236, member: 3950"] Re: X32 Warranty Warning LOL. Yep. My company goes all out on the big auto supplier shows. We also use these events for meetings. Our setup at Automechanica in Germany last year had 5 meeting rooms, a free bar, and snacks served upstairs ;) Tim, I am surprised that anyone would do a show of thousands without a backup! That would just make my skin crawl thinking about what might happen. Do you at least check the local shops to see if there is, in fact, a backup available should your SC48 die? ... and does the SC48 really compete with the X32? I looked it up and it appears to be aimed at a little higher market having 48 channels vs 32.... and costing many times the cost of the X32 (ten times if you go by list). Quick thinking on the HD replacement! Getting HD errors on boot must give you a bad feeling low in your gut right before a big show ;) And yes, cables, extension cords, power strips, mic clips, extra mixer, extra top, extra guitars, extra TD-10 drum brain, extra XLR's, extra mic stand, extra IEM ear buds, and a few extra microphones are all part of my standard load.... and this is for a $500 to $700 small bar gig! Of course, for me it is more about not wanting to miss a night out playing .... which I enjoy doing very much about once a month (it is a great break from my engineering career which can be very stressful). I would feel bad for the bar owner if something went really wrong, but not as bad as I would about missing my monthly gig! I went in understanding that the X32 was only covered for mechanical issues for 1 year despite the stated 3 year warranty that is bantered around in their marketing. Considering the price of the X32, it doesn't seem like a bad deal to me. For the price of the M32, you could purchase 2 X32's and keep one in the trailer for a backup. 2 X32's would surely be more reliable than a single M32 wouldn't it? [/QUOTE]
