I’m afraid you don’t know what you are talking about …
(Don’t take this personally, it’s not meant as an insult)
An old big console like an SSL burns the gross National Product of Nairobi in Electricity. Each month.
It needs an airco to cool the power supplies.
It needs regular (read: monthly - if you are lucky)) maintenance by a skilled and experienced engineer.
You need external Patchbays, miles of expensive multi cable, weeks of wiring, cables, connectors, worth much more than the price od a Nuage system.
if you want, I can go on for a while with things like retail value and so …
Am I glad that I don’t have to deal with that anymore.
