Stadium and Powercab

Hi,

I have an OG Helix Floor and I'm pretty happy with the dual Powercab 112+ stereo setup via L6 links.

 

It's a bit of a bummer that I have to purchase a D210 to get the L6 links back. 

 

Sending the configuration to PC from Helix is pretty nice and helpful.

 

Besides making the Stadiums $200 cheaper, what is the reason behind this?

 

Is there something new going to replace PC+ ? maybe direct through Nexus link?

There’s no official word that I know of from Line 6 about their reasoning for this, but I expect you hit the nail on the head: a more competitive price point for the vast majority of potential customers who own neither a Variax nor a PowerCab. The few who do own one or both of these (myself included) are the ones who will have to pay for additional functionality that they want. Those who don’t want it won’t have to pay for it.

 

Personally, I wish they had taken it one step further and offered 3 such specialized devices: one for just the VDI interface, one for just the L6 Link interface, and one for both. That way I wouldn’t have to pay for your L6 Link and you wouldn’t have to pay for my VDI.

huh, interesting, it seems like they can be daisy chained. The nexus link seems to be basically a POE (Power over ethernet) link. They could've made it more modular. One housing with inserts.

 

What I'm hoping for is a wireless unit that gets the power from nexus or maybe I tinker with my G50 to be powered by Nexus.
