Had to run. Forgot about a minor detail. Yes the XAP800 and its successors. I've used them in lot's of different applications over the years ~ 6. Specs apply to the XAP800. The names were changed to ward of legal beagles and protect the innocent.

I'm interested, and I don't mind doing a bit of wiring. 

We have an XAP400 and XAP800 in our conf room two doors down from my office.  If they are that packed with DSP features then for the $30 price tags I'm seeing on eBay I am definitely interested in buying a couple of them and setting up a 24 channel mixer.   This could be a fun project (after I get my car stereo wiring finished!)

Can you provide more info on your complete setup.  Pics would be great as well, although a diagram would be plenty.

Also, are you using vanilla G-ware or have you modified the UI to make it any more user-friendly?

Thanks.  John

The info your looking for are at:
http://cacophony.aspinock.com/index.php?topic=355.0
There are programs from AMX,  Crestron, Control4 and many others to simplify and customize control of Gentner/ClearOne and others although some are pricey. Targets are iPad and other tablets. I find the basic software from ClearOne to be adequate for my purposes.
