Ah, that was something I wasn't aware of.  I still need to sit down 
and read the specs on all the modules.

I'm sure that if I purchased the vocoder modules that I'd be using in 
a similar fashion.

Glad you broght this up.  In the US, I hadn't ever heard it referred 
to as "symmetric/asymmetric" before.  I'll certainly be sure to pay 
attention to the specs of the A100 output mixer.  I would absolutely 
prefer balanced connectors.  Its too bad there is no "single" .PDF 
document that I can download and print out that has ALL the modules 
and their respective detailed specs (at least I haven't found one on 
the web site).  That would certainly simplify the task of gathering 
information.

Kindest regards,
John
