This means you need both comms in and comms out from the DSP; it is not an either or situation.
Thanks, I knew that there was some setup where both Master and Slave comms were required, I just couldn't recall what it was. Although I guess a star network using an AC11 or SL processor would get round this?

That's what I was trying to get across with the AC11 example above, assuming that a non-SL processor was being used. But you're right, the same would apply to a SL processor. There are so many permutations to consider!

150 euro per channel.
Useful to know, thanks for sharing.
