But there may well be difficulties in shipping them across national borders in Europe. The approach of the regulatory authorities differs from country to country. If you designate each item as being for use at a named site only, you may be able to use the provisions for 'one-offs' in the new Directive. But this is a matter which has already been raised as an objection to the current draft, AIUI. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
