   In that case, their top of the line X-Air mixer should have nothing but   
   robust wifi.

   Behringer is pretty good about keeping things affordable.

   Or respond, i.e. 'switch on' only when there's a code that indicates an

   Maybe some kind of passcode to turn the feature on in the first place. I'm   
   sure Behringer's engineers can figure it out.

   Cool, now Behringer can replace the lame system with a robust one like that.
