Summary: The Federal Government granted support money, if organisers
drop their analog audio gear and replace it with digital audio gear.
They claim it does improve the infrastructure and an association of
club owners claims that it is very important to encourage to drop
analog gear and to switch to digital gear. There's no statement of
reasons. I'm interested in the reasons of expediency. IMO there is no
rational reason to encourage to do this. Without any argument for doing
this, it's just schizophren to encourage to do it.
So what do they use in place of mics and speakers? Or voices and vibrating
strings/skins/etc. for that matter. I am guessing it is a power bill
thing. Class D amps (which are not truely digital anyway) can use much
less power than B. They all have analog pathways though. There is really
no such thing as digital audio gear in terms of preamp, power amp Class D
amps are just switching power supplies that have an analog feedback loop.
It is possible to create the digital control for class D but if there is
no correction via analog paths, the audio is not the same as what goes in.
