One thing though (maybe I should have responded earlier), you could have saved yourself some wire & plugs. The Line-In jacks are daisy-chained normalled to each other (low numbered mix to high mix). Just plugging into the Mix-1 line-in will feed all of the 8 mixes.

See, it was a good idea!
FOTFL.. Felt oh-so-darn clever... I spent a bunch of time on the block diagrams but apparently not enough "RTFM". I somewhere saw they were normalled, but I guessed only wrt L / R but it never occurred to me normalled across
all Mixes.
As I've said so many times with this beauty - genius! And, I didn't notice it on testing, as the Line inputs only meter post Mix fader - so, I only saw signal in the one channel I was testing.

Here you go.
My case has a doghouse sufficient to hold all cables, without breakaways - I need everything together, no extra cable box. That doghouse holds a 16/4 snake with stagebox (50-ft), 16ch fan-to-fan (30-ft; returns to house stage box), 16ch fan-to-fan (10-ft, Mix sends), built-in AC quad box, and loose AC strip (for IEM transmitters). I stuck an Ashly Protea 4.24G beneath the M1016 (on inserts), for those times where someone might want a wedge - I can drive up-to 4 ch of wedge Monitor EQ from the M1016 position, when needed.
btw, the band is nuts about this upgrade. Sound quality and mix control has elevated their game - it was grins all around last weekend.
I gotta go - I'm gonna go dumb-down my talk-back loom and harvest some TRS...
