Hi,
I am looking for economical ways of building a 256 channel out system which will be connected to 256 speakers for a wavefield synthesis system. I do not need a desk - or even inputs.
You can get an RME HDSPe MADI FX for around £1000 which will do 192 channel out.
Question 1
anyone know how to do a 256 channel system ? - can you expand the rme with an extra 64 channels somehow ? They would all need to be controlled by the same clock so they were perfectly synchronised - perfect timing is even more important than usual in WFS systems.
Question 2 -
Does windows still only support 254 channels ?
Question 3 :
Can anyone think of a cheaper way of doing this:
RME ADI 648 MADI Breakout MADI to ADAT 4 * £ 1,749.00
RME HDSPe MADI FX £1099
32* behringer ADA8000 ADAT converters : £4800
Total £12,966
