   SOunds interesting, i might just explore that!  Small rack   
   to sit on splitter rack with these would be just waht the   
   doctor ordered for use with my mci.  That would also fit   
   well if I decided to go Yamaha, or  Behringer for   
   another digital console in the truck.  I've enough   
   connections for a second console, which has often been done   
   in the life of this truck, and already know that when second large format   
   console is added to truck it's gonna be a digi, so far I've been leaning   
   Yamaha, but this would play well   
   with my existing system.  Looks like i need to call my   
   favorite friendly Behringer dealer on this one.  Their   
   ada8000 is already part of my ops for less than truck gigs.   
   This would play rather well within my existing workflow.
