*INSTANT FLASHBACK*

Wow, somebody said Lone Wolf....

Say *WHAT*? This comes after, what is it, 5-6 years?

Back in the days I was fiddeling with PAs, we where looking at Lone
Wolf along with friends. It was beeing considered for feeding the DSPs
sitting inside of the amps, so that you just tossed the signal to the
amps, and they had the cross-over filters builtin. It all dried out
since IPR/Licensing issues came up if I recall things correctly. This
is often a misstake done I guess. To get something of the road, it has
to be unencumbered by such issues, onces on the road, there are
windows of oppertunity.

But wheren't you their tech? ;)

Evil!!!! But might work! ;O)
