I know plenty of us on the LAB have been waiting for APB Dynasonics to finish the MixSwitch and that day has finally come, MixSwitch Analog Master units are now available. While I'm using this in its traditional capacity, clubs that don't have live sound every day may find it handy to tie their DJ into their sound system without re-patching, or to have basic announcements without having to touch anything. There's also plenty of capability to have an emergency system override of the sound system that would mute music from the consoles but still allow the PA to be used for announcements. |

I'm having a hard time accepting the term "DJ" in relation to this product. It looks sweet but its got to be completely out of budget for all but the most discerning DJs;) Major festivals (obviously) and large churches are where I see this really being used. Of course the yellow buttons and sony gray background make me think its a video switcher. But what do I know? drew |

...and with the MixSwitch locked in an equipment room club management won't have to worry about having their patrons molecules disassociated by high SPL on off days. |

Drew, The idea is that a club that has live music most nights can leave their installed PA and live band board in place and when it's time for a DJ, press a button and be ready to go, with a nice stereo limiter in place to keep an overenthusiastic noise maker under control. The controls for that could be anywhere, due to the GPIO on the back, and with the MixSwitch locked in an equipment room club management won't have to worry about having their patrons molecules disassociated by high SPL on off days. |

Might be a dumb question, but what is the third and fourth I/O channels for? Aux subs or something like that? |

Our MixSwitch is now permanently mounted in the main drive rack and we used it for the first time on a Disco Biscuits show to interface their Digidesign into our system - LR mains and LR infills -. |

If you were to run all of your M2k's and M3k in dual input mode you could use every aux on the console. True American excess. |

I hear he's wanting to buy a 56 frame so he can use the extra channels for FX returns... |
