Thanks, Dan.
I am afraid all I can do is drool at the prospect of using a dozen or
more MixPres in an installation. Reality steps in here! I do like the
idea of using old MD recorders. As a matter of fact I am using my old
(but very functional) Sharp 722 in just that way as I refine my concept
for the installation.
The Radio Shack devices do hold some promise but they would have to be
modified to accept the mic input that I want to use.
Any any case, If fortune smiles and I suddenly become insanely wealthy
look for an order of two dozen MixPres.
