390 channels = 194 ins, 196 out
Looks very impressive and at 14 samples and no errors.
But who here used this many channels? Its got to be a very small number of studios compared to most yes? Never the less, looks very impressive.

What everyone forgets is that it's 190 inputs at 48KHz. There are a lot of live recording applications between 60-80 channels that would love to be at 96KHz, but it's double the hardware to do it. Until now. At a concert with a Digico SD10 console, now I could run the console at 96KHz (meaning lower latency for the live mix) and track up to 56 channels very simply with its 2 MADI outputs (limited to 56 by Digico's MADI implementation).
Also, even if you'll never use more than 32 channels, the onboard EQ for all the ins and outs on a MADI platform is a steal for a ton of applications.

That's impressive to say the least. I bet there's some body somewhere that's shaking in their boots thinking "Maybe that ultra expensive dsp battery was not all I thought it was".
"I think it's uh....the opposite of expensive." Yup. That's a steal from what I can tell. I know there are other companies claiming that they have this part of the market. I'm wondering now if that is changing. I can see Nuendo and Sequoia having equal footing now along with others.
As for the question of who uses that many channels? Audio Post studios easily use that many channels.
