interestingly they use 5 Pin XLR connectors and send +12VDC down one of the spare pins, not really sure what I think about this idea, but it does raise some interesting possibilities
i like this idea as it would power the board from the 12v keeping the main power isolated from it. i don't like this idea because of the voltage drop which could make the device un-reliable over long cable runs with out a repeater, could also cause an issue if another manufacturer was using those pins for something else.
hmmmmm
