Sorry to hijack this thread a bit but I have been looking at the best way to bi-amp using the XLR outputs from my 861. Would a straight Y cable as John suggests be the best solution ?. I have heard that I may need to lift the ground to one of the power amps - is this true ?. Some people have also said that a transformer based solution is prefereable - does anyone have any experience of this ?.

Back on topic, when I bought my 861 it came with a page of stickers to stick on the output ports to be able to identify the connections. I will try and dig them out but IIR it had stickers for about 20 channels - height channels included.

I suspect that height along with many other channels have been in the minds of engineers for ages its just that there is no suitable source for this information. Perhaps with suitable material we will see the implementation of these channels sooner rather than later (I wonder if the current MRC DSPs can handle the extra channels ?).


Cheers,

Tony.
