There is the XLR10 expander pod for the CR1604 which adds 10 more mic preamps for channels 7-16. I racked one of these and with some small modifications use it when recording synths etc into a Lynx Aurora. It sounds pretty good :) /Tristan On Tue, Jan 8th, 2019 at 3:49 AM, Oakley Sound via analogue <xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> wrote: > > So are there any audio benefits of that CR1604 topology... > > It's a different desk circuitry wise.
