RE: nanoDIGI or miniSHARC units ...

Thanks, Dave,

I had a look at them ... but I'll have another look. :-))

There seems to be a problem with my situation that didn't seem to suit the nanoDIGI & the miniSHARC. My problem is that (for stereo) I need to cope with 4 inputs - each side, I need to take in 2 separate outputs from my preamp:
1. the feed for my bass drivers (which will include the new subs), and
2. the feed to my mid panels & ribbons.

The feed to the bass drivers comes out of my preamp before the tube output buffer ... the feed to the mids and ribbons has gone through the unity-gain tube output buffer. I (and other users of this preamp who run active XOs) noticed that the signal coming from the tube:
* sounds much nicer (no 'ss sterility'), but
* leading edge bass transients were softened slightly.

Hence we use the preamp's "sub out" to drive subs & bass drivers and run the mids & tweeters from the tube.

The 2x4 units cope with this nicely (one input will feed 2 of the 4 outputs, the other input feeds the other 2 outputs) but I seem to remember the nano and the miniSHARC units didn't like it.


Regards,

Andy
