I never was able even to get a stable connection for an iPAD remote control to my Linux PC using an WiFi USB thingy. Regarding audio by radio technology, WiFi or what ever, I also have doubts regarding good pre-amps. Cables are not only bad, they've got some advantages. "we are audio geeks so we want to do it right" That's untrue, since they mention "studio". It's ridiculous to think about connecting a guitar in a studio by WiFi, even if it should work. Nobody seriously will add unneeded electric smog. Sure, in a video studio wireless microphone sometimes for good reasons are used, but I never saw this in an audio studio. Studios should use cables and there's no need to have "worn" cables in a studio. The first thing a trainee learns is to roll up cables correctly, to test and repair cables or to trash cables that can't be repaired. 2 Cents, Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
