Anything RMC-1 related in the podcast released today?
I won't be able to listen for a bit..

Good for you then  It's not so automatic for others. -tm I'm sure it works fine for 99.9% of the people 99.9-% of the time. You must be in the 0.1%. Russ |

We've already got plenty of threads with people making up statistics.

Imagine you could design a line of amps for active xover 2/3 way using different amplifier topologies for each section. Nice class A for the tweeter, class A/B for mid and class D for sub in a 3way in one amp chassis. You could use speakon 4 or 8 ring/pin connectors. Another thing I can't help but notice is the amount of PCB and backplate I/O space XLR connectors take up with these many channel pre/pros. Why hasn't any audio design outfits considered using MINI XLRs!?! This would solve a lot of issues with backplate I/O density and PCB real estate.  A while ago I did make the suggestion to use Mini XLR outputs on the new Stealth DAC in this thread: emotivalounge.proboards.com/post/848082/threadThe RMC-1 is modular so who knows, maybe there will be an option to install multiple Stealth DAC modules either directly into RMC-1 or via a breakout module of sorts. |

Just use TRS connectors. No need to reinvent the wheel. A smaller yet equivalent connection already exists.  |

(Why hello there Datasat...I'm sure it works great when you're only using a Datasat amp...) I wouldn't mind Phoenix connectors - but those aren't common in consumer gear. |

All I can say is O M G
The Japs & Koreans are going to wet their pants next month.
Emo is gonna sell a few more amps

Mini XLR can go up to 8 pins, and, using three DAC channels per tri-amped powered speaker is going to beg for more pins: www.switchcraft.com/productsummary.aspx?Parent=938 |

Nothing wrong with TRS connectors. Not everbody think's they're God Apple and have the "courage" to get rid of perfectly good connectors. |

Not everbody think's they're God Apple and have the "courage" to get rid of perfectly good connectors. TRS is cumbersome and doesn't lock. I don't think that makes alternatives proprietary (aka Apple like) Except DB-25. That's just silly. You might as well use DIN. |

Thanks Gary. I spotted your post earlier. Was hoping for more details from Dan -- but I appreciate your careful notes! |

Thanks Gary. I spotted your post earlier. Was hoping for more details from Dan -- but I appreciate your careful notes! I thought the multi axis encoder was pretty cool. I also suspect that the embargo on the processor chip (refer XMC-1 notes) might also apply to the RMC-1, hence no details. Cheers Gary |

I don't think that makes alternatives proprietary (aka Apple like) Except DB-25. That's just silly. You might as well use DIN. I wasn't suggesting alternatives were proprietary; just that there is no need (unless you're apple which thinks they have the world by the tail) to remove perfectly good and well supported connections, like the headphone out on the iphone. Brain dead decision, but then I never was their target audience anyway. Agree that TRS can be cumbersome, but every connector has pros and cons. Like you also say, some better alternatives are poorly supported, so then TRS still makes a great choice in this situation. RCA doesn't lock either, and I have never in my life had one just randomly disconnect. If you're running a rats nest of cables just willy-nilly over the floor then I can see why no locking might be a problem though. Add in a dog or two... (yuck, dogs belong outside anyway.) |

I thought the multi axis encoder was pretty cool. Agreed, that sounded very cool and functional too. Just as long as the axis threshold is strong enough that you don't actually start changing the input source or whatever when you just wanted to turn up/down the volume. I'm a fan of how it was described. |

I agree with you. My gripe is mostly that TRS is just so unncesssarily huge and awkward. Not that RCA is really any more "elegant". From a panel form factor though - I do agree that TRS is compact. And pretty darn durable. I don't see any real problems with XLR...expect for it takes up a fair amount of real estate. If Emotiva amps have XLR inputs.... makes sense to use the same type of balanced connector. I also agree that locking doesn't really matter... but why HDMI doesn't lock still boggles my mind. It's such a terrible and relatively fragile connector! |
