OK, after spending about 9 hours working with a networking guy and a over-zealous consultant to install a load balancer on our new WIn2K server farm, I too a long ride and started thinking Empeg thoughts...

One thought was this - I finally found a bad MP3 that killed V3a... Oh well. It was a piece of crap I downloaded. Went to allofmp3 and paid for the album in lame 256kbs, and all is good now.

The real thought I had was this - ya know how the DSP in the empeg can split the EQ, but it winds up being left/right? And how that is pretty much useless for most of us, as front/rear would be a LOT more useful. I remember that it was "just the way the chip works" from the early discussions.

But, help me here, what if you were to wire your empeg in 90degrees off, for instance the front channels were the right side, and the rears the left. Now all you would need is the software to swap the channels (and fader/balance functions) and you'd be able to EQ the rear and front.

Follow me? Picture rotating your actuial speakers in a "musical chairs" fashion, one position clockwise. RF goes to RR, RR to LR, LR to LF, LF to RF. Now you have front rear eq, but the music is the "wrong way". Well, to the empeg its all just bits, so tell it to "move" the RF signal to LF, LF to LR, LR to RR, RR to RF. Boom all done with a software change and a simple RCA cable swap.

Thoughts? My brain hurts, so poke some holes in this.
