[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 79908, member: 2121"] Re: IQ speakers All valid points, but we don't always work with people who have standardised to the same system as us, do we? I carry a lot of 16A cable and connectors, but I still need jumpers and converters to allow domestic 13A devices to connect to the same system. I agree with you, as I also can't see the logic behind putting Ethercon on the AES50 and not on the Ultranet, when they use the same cable. Maybe they were trying to prevent people from mixing the two systems up? But here's another thing... If, and only if, Ethercon was used for the X32 Ultranet out, then the P16 series of devices would have to have been designed differently. The P16D would be a lot wider (although maybe it would have resulted in something I could actually [B][U]rackmount properly[/U][/B]....), and so would the P16i (probably needed to be 2U instead of 1). The P16m would be different as well, although there's room on the back of it, IF the logo is dropped. I agree, that something is odd about it all. There's probably a reason. Maybe we could get someone in the know to reply. In the meantime, if you were to bury your P16D inside your rack case, you could run regular cables out to a front panel with Ethercons installed. A bit of customisation with a Dremmel and soldering iron on the P16m and you could probably install them there as well (voiding the warranty in the process). Given everything else the system does, this is not the biggest problem I've encountered. It's annoying, but it doesn't stop me from working. Karl. [/QUOTE]
