hello all,
so here are my likes and dislikes:
like the idea of two headphone jack (sharing the same level control)
like the idea of screw terminals on the pcb for 'tidy' outputs
like the idea of a single mult on the input module,
dislike the idea of a phono input - is this really necessary..?
so there you go - just my humble thoughts...
i'd also toy with the idea of having the xlr output connectors on an
expander panel as an optional extra - this will take up far less room in an
spacially challenged system
by the way, aren't the neutrik combi xlr/jacks the wrong sex for an output
module..?
cheers
