Hi Augustine, to answer this question about the SPK-4Ps: > can you daisy chain them (as discrete channels) or would you have to run a > seperate ethernet cable to each one?
You would run a separate Ethernet cable from a switch to each one. So for example, running a DAW on a Mac, you would output your tracks to the outputs made available by the Mac AVB virtual audio entity, and each speaker would listen to one of the outputs. You would use PoE+, not PoE, and each speaker is powered by a Merus audio Eximo amplifier, providing 30W. With the Mac you could connect up to 120 speakers. You also have the possibility of connecting a separate passive speaker to the powered one, providing 2 x 15W.
