I don't remember how many input channels there are. The fact that it's a firewire connection to the computer may be a problem but Artengine has various Mac Minis with firewire ports. They also have a massive amp with a lovely collection of Tannoy speakers. I've used the gear to run eight speakers from Pure Data. Using Pd you can do sequential or simultaneous output.<div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Michael</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi everyone, I was curious if anyone has ever used multiple microphones and/or speaker outputs for any interactive projects.<br>
<br>
Basically I want to connect around 7-8 microphones to a computer and record from a random one at various times. I would also like to to do the same thing with multiple speakers (play sound from a random speaker at various times).<br>
<br>
I am thinking I might need some sort of audio board and special software (maybe FMOD or Ableton) but beyond this I haven’t had much luck finding anything just yet.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help in advance!<br>
Anthony<br>
