All your amps are balanced, correct ( no RCA inputs)?And NC502 pictures??

So that same lay jury is going to be wowed by the fact your product had certification X, Y and/or Z even when some major damage or injury occurred?Very true. But that's where lawyers will rip into somebody to 'prove it' to a jury who has no idea what audio is or what an amplifier is. In the words of Dirty Harry, "do you feel lucky?"
The jury wouldn't know what the certifications mean, and a potential juror would probably be disqualified to sit if they did have knowledge of certifications, but a good lawyer could make a huge fuss about the lack of certification and (perhaps falsely) sucessfully link it to something like a fire. I've seen that in the past, so it absolutely can happen. The bigger a company gets, the more they have to loose against justified or unjustified lawsuits, so in the scheme of things, certification is cheap insurance. And as I mentioned earlier, some commercial projects won't even allow companies without particular certifications to bid on a project.So that same lay jury is going to be wowed by the fact your product had certification X, Y and/or Z even when some major damage or injury occurred?
After 30 years in industrial automation and dozens of safety reviews, never had certifications even play into the discussion. It is all about risk management. If you (and your team/company) have sound ethics, you keep the risks low.
The 2ch and 4ch new input board builds, yes.Are the NC252MP amplifiers now in assembly phase?
Any update on the 8-channel 502 (pictures)? Trying to decide on whether to get one 8-channel or two 4-channel.A little time comparison:
Was able to get four complete 4-channel amps built yesterday (while splitting the day up to work on both amps and my thesis).
Normally, on a good day, I could have only gotten one, maybe one and half done in the same timeframe/workload.
The new input boards and streamlined assembly is going to make a huge impact on wait times (positively). Especially once I can commit a full 8-10hrs a day.
Yes.For those of us who pre-ordered months ago, are we just waiting for an e-mail/invoice on the balance?
Thank you. How significant are the heatsinks? Should I consider ordering the XL case even for a 4 channel built for either module?Finally a picture of a nearly finished 8ch build in the XL case w/heatsinks.
The main reason for the heatsinks was for the 8ch NC502MP. Since the modules were going to be vertical to fit 8ch for the 502's, it just made sense to also add a heatsink to aid in cooling.Thank you.

Thanks for the quick reply. From the pic, looks like the speaker channels are all horizontally mounted. Your new pics for the other cases have them at 45 degree. Is there any other feature differences between the XL and other cases?The main reason for the heatsinks was for the 8ch NC502MP.

For any of my other builds that I have been offering since 2020, cooling has not been an issue for the standard cases. And even now, more venting has been added to my other cases, along with more attachment points on the bottom of the cases to hold the modules even tighter for better heat transfer.
The 45 degree is due to the tight space/smaller size I wanted to make the 2ch case.Thanks for the quick reply. From the pic, looks like the speaker channels are all horizontally mounted.
