[QUOTE="Rodney Bates, post: 63830, member: 2229"] re: X32 Discussion Absolutely. The desk as it stands is the perfect drop in replacement for an analogue console, at a price much cheaper than a comparable analogue console and outboard. Please dont think for a second that i am knocking the pre's on the back. I think there is room in the market for the current version for those who want to replace an analogue console, as well as more of a control surface option for those that want stage boxes. My point is that having BOTH and only being able to use half of those inputs is the redundant and cost prohibitive part of the equation. I have several church installations in mind for this console to do just that. But for those who do not have an existing copper network to patch into and dont want to incurr the expense of multicores, not to mention the time and effort in lugging the things around, having two sets of pre amps means paying for something that you do not need or want. Cutting holes cost money, filling them costs more, then having the A/D converters to deal with it even more so. Moving those pre's to outboard rather than on board will save on manufacturing cost, lowering the price point, decreasing the weight and making the entire package more enticing to the user who wants that modular system.
