[QUOTE="Steve Maksim, post: 58758, member: 1973"] re: X32 Discussion The M7 is alone in its high fader count. While there is a small niche that finds this extremely attractive, I would largely interpret the lack of other high fader count consoles as the market speaking its mind: for the most part people don't want to carry, maintain, or make room for all those faders; either they don't have someone to help them set up, or they're trying to sell more seats. Even Yamaha's new CL series desks don't have high fader counts. If more faders are really the sticking point, one can pick something besides the M7 and augment it with a control surface. Why am I picking on Yamaha? In one word, preamps. I would consider the defining feature of the M7 to be its sonic "characteristics." I'm not saying that they can't be overcome, but it's what I think of when I think of that console. Besides, you're comparing apples to oranges. What reasonable comparison can be made between a 32 and 48 channel desk when 48 channels are required? I specifically called out the M7CL-32. [/QUOTE]
