In theory, a single Dante gigabit link is capable of up to 512x512 in each direction at 48 KHz ( higher sample rates are supported by reducing the number of channels). A Rednet link has a fixed number of channels of 128x128 i/o at 48/96 kHz and 64x64 at i/o 192 kHz (http://global.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet-pcie-card/specifications). So even if money would not be a concern, a single Rednet link would not be able to take care Augustine's 256-channel system. That with the matrix is interesting. Do you mean controlling the gain of the inputs to the matrix or is it possible to control the actual gain of the matrix cross-points? Best G > Andrew J.
