Stageline & Headline power option questions with 252

Posted by: John3 on 13 March 2004

I am currently running a stageline off socket 6/aux2 lower socket (the powered one). I am contemplating a headline and have some questions:
1. Can a headline be powered from the lower Aux2 also? (obviously not at the same time as the stageline). The 252 manual only mentions the stageline and prefix for this socket.
2. Is this socket effectively the same as powering with a separate Supercap?
3. Has anyone compared the Aux 2 socket option for Stageline with a Hicap/Stageline?
4. With a Hicap, 252/SC, Stageline and Headline, which would you power from the Hicap and which from the 252?

any advice appreciated.

Thanks for the comments, although you have different views on whether Stageline is better off the Hicap or 252. Anyone else done the comparison?

I would agree with Mark if you don't have to use the 252 power output and are happy to buy another supply. My point was that the 252 output is only intended for a stageline.

2 x supercap would be best Wink
