Hi all, I am looking for economical ways of building a 256 channel out system which will be connected to 256 speakers for a wavefield synthesis system. I do not need a desk - or even inputs. You can get an RME HDSPe MADI FX for around £1000 which will do 192 channel out. Question 1 anyone know how to do a 256 channel system ? - can you expand the rme with an extra 64 channels somehow ? They would all need to be controlled by the same clock so they were perfectly synchronised - perfect timing is even more important than usual in WFS systems. Question 2 - Does windows still only support 254 channels ? Question 3 : Can anyone think of a cheaper way of doing this:
RME ADI 648 MADI Breakout MADI to ADAT (64 channels each) 4 * £ 1,749.00 RME HDSPe MADI FX £1099 32* behringer ADA8000 ADAT converters : £4800 Total £12,966 (ish) I was thinking if I could cut down on the madi to adat boxes or DA converters - is there something which uses D-SUB 25 out for example ? Some sort of Madi-analogue converter with lots of outs maybe ? -- 07580951119 augustine.leudar.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
