SOunds interesting, i might just explore that!  Small rack
to sit on splitter rack with these would be just waht the
doctor ordered for use with my mci.  That would also fit
well if I decided to go Yamaha, or  Behringer for
another digital console in the truck.  I've enough
connections for a second console, which has often been done
in the life of this truck, and already know that when second large format
console is added to truck it's gonna be a digi, so far I've been leaning
Yamaha, but this would play well
with my existing system.  Looks like i need to call my
favorite friendly Behringer dealer on this one.  Their
ada8000 is already part of my ops for less than truck gigs.
This would play rather well within my existing workflow.
