SD16 Digital Snake, not the future, the NOW

So much easier than running 24 cables from back to front of church. 1 wire handles everything. When combining with the X32 Compact there was an immediate difference in the sound quality compared to our old analog Yamaha mixer. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the market.
