I totally agree with Fred on this, which was the basis of the I/O weakness of the RPI I expressed earlier. This means that in order for this to work you have to be mindful to carefully manage your I/O such as don't over tax your network interface unless you want your audio to get interrupted f

Hi, Yes XLRs fit fine on 1U but not with the Pi Underneath it. You basically have this set up (ripped from IQ Audio's email): 1U ~ 40mm 5mm spacer under pi 2mm pi pcb 12mm spacer (to clear pi components) 2mm DAC Hat Leaves: 19mm to fit XLR connectors. Wayne Merricks The Voice Asia On 17/0

Hi, Just to be clear, I'm nothing to do with IQ Audio, I just asked them if they did any XLR boards a few months back. They emailed back the same day saying interesting idea and they'll look into it. Now they're asking more questions and are planning a prototype for the next month or so whi

You have to use the AUX log for this otherwise the Main log will just stop and be silent for 5 seconds. Create a macro cart with these commands: 001 PS 0 5000! <-- This fades down log 0 (the main log) over 5000 ms 002 SP 5100! <-- This waits for 5100 ms before doing anything else otherwise you

We don't need to play any other time announcements like that. Now I am looking at a way with an RML macro event placed that the end of each hour to fade d
