[BC] Radio's computerized future?

[Steve]

Kirk...I HATE Db9's! I consider myself a very meticulous person when it comes to soldering. The Db9's always do me in! Glad I have a compatriot! BTW Kirk, I'm very impressed with the new Telos line. I live in L.A....lower Alabama and was very happy to see that Auburn was one of your installation sites. I'm originally from San Francisco. Have you sold KGO on this yet? <G> Do you have any San Francisco installations?

  Willie,

  I'll take credit or blame for Axia gear having RF-45's for audio - 
  analog or AES.

  The original Axia nodes used Dsub-9 connectors.   YUCCHHH!  Have you 
  EVER soldered one of those neatly?  I never have.

  We discussed RJ-45's quite a lot with Dan Braverman at Radio Systems. 
  His StudioHub system had been out for several years with an excellent 
  track record for ease of installation and reliable connections.  So, 
  after a few hundred e-mails back and forth with Axia R&D guys, me and a 
  couple of others chiming in, we decided that the RJ-45, using the 
  StudioHub de facto wiring standard, was the way to go.

  Here's an source of some quick info on that system, specific to Axia...
