Dont count Tesla out just yet - theyare actually working on transmitting AC power over the air. I like ther idea except Im worried about what it might do to my hair 

I don't see it happening on our lifetime .... or even our kids for that matter.

The two biggest issues are:

• Even wave guided energy drops off over distance at a tremendous rate.
• Standing between point A and point B will kill you.

Aside from this .... piece of cake

Yea but there must be downsides as well right? <wink>!

Anyone know when they will hit the stores?

B&H says "Expected Feb 1, 2015".

One place I worry about with these is the built in WIFI.
2.4gHz is too crowded in most venues. I doubt it is dual band. I only use 5gHz.
I hope they include reasonable security options. I sure wouldn't want the punters taking over mid show.

I have to agree. All eggs in one basket does not a happy camper make. Bandwidth, interference from other devices, etc. will all take their toll, and probably right when you need connectivity the most. Hell, I have a very reliable network in my home and still have problems with the TV WIFI connections and it's only 50' from the router.

And did anyone notice that in the video the preamps were no longer Midas designed, but "the same Midas preamps found in the X-32."

Only a matter of time before some prankster brings a cheap wifi jammer to mess up a show, not worried about it at my level but something to keep in mind if your $ and reputation are on the line.

You can also plug your own router into it .... or go direct from a PC through an Ethernet cable.

Took delivery of my XR18 this week, I'm really excited to use it. I haven't had much time to play around with it, but the ipad app looks nice.
Seems to be missing a few key things though, or maybe I just haven't looked around enough:

input ch HPF numerical value
Output delay?
changing fx units
"dugan"/automixer settings

Also, a Mac OS control software would be nice, the Windows one is still in beta so I'm hoping that Mac is coming down the line at some point.

I have long been predicting that Dan's gain sharing algorithm would show up for free in digital mixers since there is no real cost involved other than software and control overhead. The patent is long since expired so the technology is public domain and free to use.

To blatantly use his name in marketing seems bold unless they are compensating him for that. I hope they are but I am afraid to ask him..

I got mine 10 days ago or so too.   The iPad App doesn't yet have all of the functionality, but I'm assured updates are coming soon.     John DiNicola says the next gen app is already awaiting approval from Apple before being released on iTunes.

You can view the HPF value in the X-Air Edit, now available for PC, Mac und Linux-->

The X-Air Edit is also needed for firmware updates. They just released a new one.
Mute Groups and automixer function will be implemented later.
