    +1 for this. Or a different option I’d like is a smaller specifically rackmount format DX168 that’s 2u? It’s annoying the DX168 is 4u when it can be smaller. My DX16/8s are rackmounted in a rack along with a 48 channel split and line system. I could cut the size of that rack down by 6u if the DX16/8s were smaller. I’m happy not to have a 48/24 or 24/12 IF the 16/8s were smaller.

    @maxdrums As my original post states I am fully aware the Dsnake protocol only supports 40 input channels. But there is nothing to state that the first 16 inputs on a linked AR2412 would show up giving you the full 40 channels…

    @markpaman I’ve seen the connections PDF and obviously 2 AR2412 isn’t on there hence my question on whether anyone has tried it. I know the full 48/24 channels wouldn’t be usable but I just want to know if anyone has tried linking them and whether the first 16/08 channels on the “linked” AR2412 worked…

    At this point I’m going to take it as a loss and it’s not gonna work. My only gripe with A&H is the I/O options are so chunky and rack space hungry. Why has the AB1608 got to be bigger than the AR2412 even though there’s less I/O on it? That’s just annoying!

    @markpaman I’ll be running a full line-system and split which will all be racked, thanks for your suggestion though… All I need to know is a definite yes or no on whether 2x AR2412 run together from someone that has actually tried it themselves.

    @gcumbee So you can confirm you’ve personally tried plugging 2 AR2412 boxes into an SQ and the second “linked” one did not work at all?

    @biggsounds I know that works for 32/16. If I’m going to be using the AR racks I’d like to get the full 40/20 the system is capable of but the 2 AR2412 take up less rack space than an AR2412 + AB1608. Plus it opens up more opportunities being able to take an AR2412 out to put with another system etc or use it with an SLink card and another Cat5 tun to achieve all 48 channels at stage…

    Unfortunately I have to agree with others on the pricing of the DEEP plugins. I already own licences for similar plug ins by waves that I can use across loads of desks as well as in DAWs. The 76 compressor for example cost me $29 so why would I want to pay $100+ for another licence of another plug in to only use on a single console and single piece of hardware. It would have been sensible to have done it at least in a way where you buy a licence that could be used across multiple pieces of hardware similar to the waves by having licences on a pendrive etc. If I build a show using plug ins on a personal console then have to do a fly show with a band I and hire a console elsewhere I don’t want to loose those potentially vital to the mix features and sounds. I was really excited about this release but feel a bit let down considering the GLD had majority of these plug ins for no extra cost and the DLive also has all of them for no extra cost so I’ve used them all regularly. The whole thing could have definitely been thought out A LOT better IMO. Being an avid A&H fan/supporter with it being my preferred choice of console it’s annoying that I can’t big up and brag about this to other people because people will think I’m mad pushing a single platform, single hardware plug in at them for over $100… I definitely will not be purchasing any of these till the price is significantly lowered, or till the licences can be used across multiple consoles (by keeping the licence on a pendrive or similar).

    +1 for mono matrix. Came on here specifically to suggest this. Would rather have 6 monos that I can link than 3 stereos I cant unlink.
