Being the clever consumer I am (hey I subscriber to MOTM didn't I?), I
would rather see such features "built in."

Of course. I still have a hard time not thinking audio when I think mixer.
Duh !!

Sure !! (same stupid look on my face as before).

Thanks Paul. All that should have been obvious to me, but I keep
forgetting to put my "modular" brain in gear. Your explanations do help me
appreciate the Blacet design even more (well, from looking at the picture).
Unfortunately, I guess I will be once again trying to drive up the
features / prices of the MOTM mixer when we get to that (or maybe that
accompanying reversing attenuator).
