re: X32 Discussion@Per: You can run up to three S-16, the P-16 Signals and Midi signals over just one CAT5 cable.If you like the idea of having a redundant wire/connection, you could lay out one cable running stage left to Foh and another cable running stage right to foh. Use one UPS (best with Ethernt port) for the S-16 and your UPS should provide also the aux-power for the X32 to the FoH position. One cable you could use for the S-16&X32, on the other cable you connect your USV ethernetport with a laptop. If the power fails on stage, the USV jumps in and alerts your PC at Foh. Hit the Panic button (mute all monitor sends and the mains). Wait till the power is restored, unmute and go. When something is wrong with you connection between S-16&X32 you could switch over to the UPS-CAT5 cable and use that for audio. I used a similar setup for my SAC rig the last two years and it helped me to get through the show a few times;-)Sure, you could go always even futher with redundancy (ok, I'm German..we are prepared for everything by nature)...but the S-16 neither the X32 have spare PSUs, so I think the set up I mentioned above is a sane and inexpensive way to go.Christian
