Thanks, Showtime.
Are we definitely saying there is no way to use two AR2412, with or without a DX Hub?
The other significant consideration is that if we ever wanted a Dante port or similar, this would obviously not be an option with the gigaAce card fitted.
Is is not possible to mix 48 & 96kHz I/O? What are the rules? Is it possible, as you suggested, to have one port of the DH Hub for an AR2412 and another port for a second AR2412; could a personal monitor hub be connected to the Monitor port on a AR2412? Can two AR2412’s be daisy chained off one DX Hub port?
Can an ME1 be connected to a AR2412 Monitor port?
To have to purchase a £800 gigAce card in addition to a £500 DX Hub is making it all costly. That was a great suggestion to consider a c1500/cdm48 combo – it’s all getting rather expensive, though!… I thought the cost of the A&H stage boxes were very reasonable compared to, say, Yamaha, but this is making me have second thoughts…
Thanks again for all your thoughts, please keep them coming!
