The Model 24 will be in the $200 to $250 range.  

It's not the most complex circuit in our stable.  At 11 ICs and 
three PCBs strong, that distinction now goes to the M14 Dual 
Processor.  This is due to the Equal Power Transfer circuitry in 
the cross fader.  That feature doubled the component count...but 
it was worth it.  Crossfaders or panners  that lose energy in the 
center or do not perform their function smoothly are a drag.  
You've got to through a lot of parts at the circuit to eliminate the 
the dB sag at center.

Both the Model 16 and 18 will have very similar circuits to that 
used in the Dual Processor's xfader.  The resonance control in 
the M16 is almost identical, and the panners in the Model 18 are 
a variation (working  in reverse). One signal is cross faded to two 
outputs instead of the other way around.  All three however 
(M14's xfader, M16 resonance attenuator and M18 panners) will 
be Equal Power Transfer type.  It may cost a bit more, but you'll 
thank us in the end.
