re: X32 DiscussionIf you were doing that, why bother with the console? Just have an empty rack with PSU in it. Then build an X16 and put it in an S16 box. You add as many X16s to the frame on stage as you want and they link up to share processing power. The control surface runs over WiFi or CAT5 and then you don't need fancy interfaces to get your audio from the stage to FOH and back. All audio work is done in the rack. The only thing the console does is act as a remote surface.Therefore, people who want an X16 with laptop or iPad control only need buy a cheap rack. People who want the same but 32 channels need only buy TWO. People who need 64 channels could buy FOUR. People who require ANY number of channels with true FOH console just buy the required number of racks and the control surface.
