Interesting that you say to familiarize myself with A (presumably the scaling) before B (then the board impedance and such). I had kinda worked up in my head this idea the it should be the other way around if you get my meaning. Seems like no amount of scaleing will help a bad soundboard, yet a good soundboard will help a bad scale. Is this faulty reasoning ?.. However I will follow your advice and break it out. I got one foot in the hot tub already so I might as well hop on in.. grin. A thousand thanks, once again Ron Richard Brekne I.C.P.T.G. N.T.P.F. Bergen, Norway
