Yeah, the current draw of the M14 is a bit high...but one must 
remember it's three independent modules sharing a single 
faceplate - two 3 in, 3 out procesors and a crossfader.  Looking 
at it this way, a worst-case scenario (all inputs active, all seven 
outputs tapped into a patch), 30mA for each of the three sections 
I believe is acceptable.

Glad to hear you like the instrument however.  Letters like this is 
what keeps me at this.  Thanks for your support.
