Yep. That’s what I thought. I have (let’s say) enough channels of Grace m108 Dante for almost everything I’ll probably ever do, but I saw the DT168 at a great price and I went for it. Seems to work a treat hooked up to my SQ6. I thought it would be perfect for those inputs that don’t need Grace m108. Audience mics, on-stage computer playback, announce mics, etc.
I used to put up a Lynx Aurora AtoD and had thought about using it to run any 8-channel pre into the Dante rig. Problem? No control room, well, control. The Lynx is 16x line in and 16x line out. Here’s where I am going with the DT168, and my original question. It’s not so much the inputs that I am excited about. Fairly good preamps, controlled from the control room. Great. But 8x outputs. That’s where it gets interesting. Talk backs, studio play backs, cue feeds.
Great! Easily done with the SQ6 in the network. But what if I don’t want to schlep the SQ6 to a smaller gig but still could use the outputs. Simple I guess. Put the Lynx Aurora back in the network. But wouldn’t it be cool to be able to control the the I/O of the DT168 without the SQ6. Totally awesome.
Cool right?
