So, what are others doing with their "extra" speakers while waiting for the expansion modules? For example, I have a 12.4.12 speaker layout, but I'm only able to output a 9.1.6 channel setup from my RMC-1. Do I just leave 9 speakers unplugged? Do I double up on channels? I've got two sets of surrounds that are doubled up right now, and I'm not loving it... Just outta curiosity, what are the extra 3 bed channels? If I'm guessing, I'd say 2 more screen channels to help spread the Center out to Lc and Rc, and a single channel in the middle of the Back wall. Am I close?

Just outta curiosity, what are the extra 3 bed channels? Yes, one of them is a center rear. The other two are a second row of surrounds, so there are 3 speakers on each wall. As for the extra Atmos channels, I have spots for front heights (L+C+R), rear heights (L+R) and "Voice of God."

I am now looking at outlaw 7000x anp,and a few other iems. thanks George I bought good sound , I thought I was buying so much more. I thought wrong or was it a promise not kept? I could have gotten the exact same thing for 1K cheaper, except for two modules that aren’t worth the price. Got me twice now! I don’t usually speak out because negativity is bad for my soul BUT sometimes one must just speak up. Emotiva, could you please make us feel that we haven’t been taken for a ride?

Well, I just wired up yet another pair of speakers that I can't use until I get an output module...

Is anyone aware of any mention whatsoever regarding the XLR output modules since Emotiva said in May 2021 that they'd be available "later in the year?" I understand that there can be delays, but when the announced timeline passes without a single mention, it gives me cause for concern... Especially when we're coming up on a year since they were supposed to be released...
After making some more progress on my theater, the number of speakers that I have fully installed, wired, and ready to go, but are doing nothing because my RMC-1 doesn't have the channel count to support them is now up to 8... (soon to be 12)
I sure hope there's at least some sort of announcement regarding the XLR output modules before I finish my theater...

I think it’s going to be a very long time if ever that the RMC gets extra outputs. Hopefully I’m wrong, but we shall see.

The promise of 28 total output channels was my whole reason for choosing Emotiva in the first place, so I really hope you're wrong...

They said the XMC-1 would be upgraded to Atmos and had prototypes for it. Ultimately they couldn’t make it work and released the RMC-1 instead. I will say they treated XMC customers very fairly though.

If you want 28 channels I would look at other options IMO.

I’ve been following the RMC-1 since it was announced. I’m waiting for two things 1) 24 channels 2) happy posts from you guys (to tell me its a real production ready release)
In the mean time my AV8805 (bought a few years ago as a placeholder) is still holding the fort. I figure in the next year or two Emotive or someone else will come out with a reasonably priced 24 channel prepro.. if not I may have to pay the price of a small car to fulfill my dream before I die of old age …Ok, I’m exaggerating… that probably should read “before I need hearing aids to listen to it” … which I doubt will help much with the experience.

Hopefully we get an update on the expansion modules soon. Why, with everything you know, would you ever think that this would be the case? Even any "update" so far has simply been a reminder that the promises haven't been provided for.

Even any "update" so far has simply been a reminder that the promises haven't been provided for. Honestly... I'm worried they might be getting into class action lawsuit territory... How many people chose the RMC-1 over the RMC-1L for the promise of extra inputs? The whole purpose for the existence of the RMC-1 is the promised output modules. There are plenty of devices out there to add extra inputs. There is no third-party device to add more output channels. (aside from just duplicating existing channels) I bought the RMC-1 because I needed more than 16 channels. (without the cost of another car or two) I'm fine with waiting. I'd rather wait for a solid product than get a rushed piece of crap. But the fact that it's been about a year since they were supposed to be available, and there hasn't even been the briefest of mentions since... That is cause for concern, and to be honest, kinda makes me seriously consider ditching Emotiva altogether... I know others who already have... Be open and honest with your customers, and they'll reward you with the loyalty of their wallets, and the patience that comes with it. Customer acquisition is a lot more expensive than customer retention. I wish more companies understood that...

Seriously? Ford has cars sitting on a lot, undeliverable because they can't get control modules, knobs and emblems, and Ford isn't alone with logistics problems. Despite everyone wishing we were done with the pandemic, its effects are long-lasting and far-reaching.
Anyone can sue for any reason. That doesn't mean it's an effort that will go anywhere or accomplish anything other than enriching some law firm. I'm not a lawyer, but put me on the jury for that and I'll hand back a resounding loss for the plaintiff.
I'm exceptionally happy with my RMC-1 and the rest of my system. I will likely be happier as they continue to improve it and release hardware and firmware updates.

...Ford isn't alone with logistics problems. Despite everyone wishing we were done with the pandemic, its effects are long-lasting and far-reaching. Have they said anything about supply chains holding back the release of the output modules? I've heard no such thing. They've released several new products in the last year, seemingly without issue. They released the XLR and Phono input modules last year, seemingly without issue. Whatever the reason for the delay, we deserve to know. If it's just a delay, we deserve to know. If they've wholly abandoned the idea of 16+ output channels, they kinda have a responsibility to let their customers know–especially since all of the "sponsored" reviews of the RMC-1 touted the device as a 28-channel processor. Dirac was promised and delivered. Input modules were promised, announced for Summer 2021 release, and delivered in late 2021. Output modules were promised, announced for late 2021 release, ...and then... silence... If anyone has heard any official communication regarding the output modules since May 2021, I'd love to hear it! My point isn't that we deserve some undue compensation because they have yet to deliver on a promised feature. My point is that loads of customers have given up on Emotiva keeping their promises. The prevailing belief (in this thread, and others) is that we're never getting the promised output modules. As I said, I'm willing to wait. I just want communication. I don't want to continue waiting for something if they already know isn't coming...

If it’s not coming, why the hell did I spend another ton of money? For what? Inquiring minds want to know, and so do I.
