wait, hold up... thank you! but ---- due mostly to financial circumstances & a lack of experience with anything other than ⅛" or ¼" cables, i am buying & daisy-chaining 6 presonus firestudio interfaces < https://www.presonus.com/products/firestudio> (you can find for ~$150 usually) which will give me 48 ¼" input & output - i got the logitech z506 @ ~$45/each, the total is a little under $3,000, excluding cables & a rack I'm still on the hunt for (for the interfaces) which made the endeavor seem approachable so I've been saving up for the last few years.
my question to the group is about the process of building a version of the '4d sound system' approach, specifically suggestion, advice, designs regarding the 16 columns i need to build. i'd like to create a version i can break down & fit in a pick-up truck. i was thinking something like speaker stands & custom PVC architecture & mounts but i know there are way smarter people than me on this listserv who might be able to help me save money & build a safer, better rig. I am awaiting the dimensions of the proto-rig but let's say bottom speaker is 12" of the ground, mid = "54", top = 96"... (reference: http://demonicsweaters.com/2015/03/the-amazing-4d-sound-system-is-a-nicola-tesla-inspired-fully-immersive-audio-experience/ ) thanks again. - matt / On Wed, May 17, 2017 at 4:49 PM, Richard Foss <r.f...@ru.ac.za> wrote: > Another reasonably priced possibility is to set up an Ethernet AVB > network.
