So what?

Bananas suffer from:

a) un-shielded connections. Name ONE PIECE of professional recording gear,
besides
Serge or Modcan, that uses them. If they are so "wonderful", why doesn't SSL
use them on
consoles?

BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSHIELDED, THAT'S WHY!

b) they force you to ONE SUPPLIER of patchcords (ITT Pomona).

c) They can't offer switching jacks. Switching jacks are INTEGRAL TO MOTM
SYSTEM DESIGN.
