[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 73795, member: 67"] Re: S16 vs. traditional analog snake The size/weight comparison can be viewed several ways: cubic volume - does an S16 and 2 runs of robust cat6, in case(s) take up less/more/about the same space? Or weight: cased up, what is the weight difference? Does weight per meter of cable affect your ability to route the cable where it needs to go, as Paul Johnson mentions? Do you foresee times when cable routing would require more than a 30m length? The S16 can give you 100m of distance. If you have to route around the perimeter of a ballroom or go over doors, a longer snake is beneficial. Do you have existing consoles or signal distribution that currently utilize analog multi-core? Would you benefit from using this new analog snake with them? In your comparison I notice you mention an S16 is about the same cost as a 32 ch. snake. If you need more than 16 inputs you'll be adding another S16. That's another US$900. You will have to sort out which factors are important to you, how you can recover the costs of "premium" services or products, and you need to look at what your clients expect and your competitors are doing. Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
