Frequently Asked Questions
SLink offers a cost-effective solution for basic expansion, while Dante provides higher bandwidth and more robust features for larger, more complex networked setups.
The touchscreen is generally well-regarded for its responsiveness, but its effectiveness in a chaotic live environment depends on user familiarity and pre-configuration.
DEEP processing utilizes Allen & Heath’s own plugin ecosystem, and while it’s continually expanding, it doesn’t directly support arbitrary third-party VST plugins.
