What are the main differences between the X.200 and X.400 models, and how do I know which one is right for me?
The Model X.400 is designed primarily for professional and post production applications, whereas the Model X.200 is designed to be more of a music and project production console. Significant efforts were made to specify the software of the X.400 to support the features required by today’s professional post production and surround engineers. The Digital X Bus Model X.400 provides the following feature enhancements over the X.200: • Dual Processor (Xenon) Processors with Hyper-Threading • A built-in UAD-1 Powered Plug-ins card • Twenty-four additional channels of I/O (via the “D-Slot”) • Sixteen additional Mix Buses for a total of twenty four • Open Panning Law Assignment for Stem Management • Bus/Return Switcher for all 24 Buses • Speaker Assignment Matrix with Cut/Solo features • Surround Monitor Formatter for “Fold Down” monitoring • Twelve additional group faders • RS-232 (Sony® 9-Pin) Machine Control • DSP ordering for channel inserts, EQ, and dynamics modules Stay tuned to the Macki
