Hi,<br>if you do "risk" it, be sure to let us know, especially if there are problems ;)<br>I've been looking at buying one of these myself (possibly one of the bigger devices but hopefully they are the same).<br>

</div>Ok, thanks. Maybe that's enough to risk it.<br>

</div>I looked at the m-audio NRV10 initially as it has the full 10 channel return plus an<br>
extra XLR/preamp and inserts on all channels but it's £130 more expensive for it.<br>
I'd be using it for relay recording anyway not live mixing of multiple sources and I<br>
don't do any surround work so i'm not sure it's worth it. Not to me anyway,<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
