[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7002384, member: 549629"] Im confused. The only difference I see there that is actual, is the mic. The 701 uses a mic to allow auto-EQ'ing, t/a, etc. But if I understand you correctly, it sounds like the ms8 has dual mics for stereo auto-inputs. The 701's mic is a single mic, mono input. Otherwise, the differences you listed here aren't different. The 701 doesn't have a simple 32 band EQ, it has a 32-band EQ per output (including for each left and right output individually). 32 bands is a '1/3 octave EQ' which is plenty for almost any application. It also has a parametric EQ. Im assuming when you say the ms8 has 'hundreds' of bands, you simply mean a 32 band per output, just like the 701. I cant imagine it has hundreds of bands of adjustment for every output, who would even want such a complex EQ? If a 'simple' 1/3 octave and/or parametric EQ isn't enough equalization for your system, your system has bigger problems than lack of sound processing. I agree with the rest of your comments on their differences however. The reason I say Im confused is, you have a 701, so you should know all this already. [/QUOTE]
