96 or 192?

Ok. Thanks Scotsman. In other words, there is no way to use the 192 to input synths and MIDI gear...? (and take advantage of the higher quality A/D converters like the ones in the 192)?

Annas,

The 192 actually use Dsub 25s, so a patch bay or convertor cable would be required for line level inputs. I have my 192 connected to the pre-amps in my Control 24 and Focusrite 428.

So I can plug synths etc into 192 via these pre-amps.

Never though about putting them in directly but suppose you could.

Look at the Product Information - Pro Tools HD Hardware - Interface pages for more info.

Just out of curiosity... Does anyone know whether Digi makes snakes/connectors for the 192 that has TRS (1/4 inch) connectors at the other end? (instead of XLR)?

There is a way and if I were you,knowing that midigear users often need to rewire ,I'd opt for a simple trs patchbay ,don't forget to use a DI if you record your synth
