If packaging the XLR sockets is a significant problem, would 1/4" TRS jacks be any easier? (I personally prefer XLR, but TRS jacks are also widely used for balanced). I suppose you could even go completely non-standard and use 3.5mm TRS jacks if space is really tight. Another possibility could be a 9-way D-sub with a break-out cable, as used on some pro-level soundcards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
