Re: Asking for input: I/O Module

2003-08-22 by Mike Marsh

So pardon if some of these abservations fall under 'how dense is this 
guy':

* So I can connect the final output(s) of a patch to this device and 
get balanced (TRS or XLR) for each of the inputs, right?  If I've set 
up a patch, for example, that pans left and right, you would preserve 
the 'stereo' out?  If so, what about feeding the IO module 4 outputs 
from a patch (I do this all the time with the 410)?

* Some level indicator is required, I think.  At a minimum a clip LED 
for each channel (I'm not sure if it's better on input or output).

* Will there be gain controls for the outputs?

* The Neutrik connectors have both XLR and TRS in one jack.  You 
could use these to save space on the panel (and add outputs!).

* Overkill: MOTM quality analog to digital stereo output (AES/EBU and 
SPDIF) :) :) :)
