I contacted Benchmark and their Engineering department confirmed the following:Thanks for your patience. Yes, our units do support the AES48 standard. As I mentioned previously, with my old Benchmar... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @atmasphere Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking of using the long runs based on a thread you commented on. I am thinking of using a Benchmark LA4 preamp, which I think supports the balanced standard as you described. I am getting 2 amps (one ... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @atmasphere Would you care to mention the brand of XLR interconnects you are using into your amps? How long are they?I have also been thinking of hiding my rack behind a wall. Some discussion posts on PRO balanced connections and long runs have ma... | |
