Yes and no...there is definitely more to this. Got a friend, who's product manager at one of the biggest German ProAudio distributors. Got an email from him today.
Well..it seems, that SAC will be joined by Montarbo, that should also bring additional hardware to the table.
We will see...

While searching for more info on Montarbo, I stumbled upon the Linked In profile for Lee Pepper, who has done a lot of work with/for Bob in the past. His current profile shows this:

It appears he's been beta testing these.

Went looking for more info and came across this in the 2011 article:

An AIR console can be as small as 8 x 8, or as large as 72 x 72 – and 128 x 128 will soon be available for mega-events.

Presently, various commercial preamps can be utilized - and often are - but the company is headed in the direction of developing its own optimized I/O product that will talk directly to the assembly language code that SAC is based upon, thereby providing what might be accurately called a “super-interface.”


I wonder if they are still trying to achieve that now with the Montarbo team.

Italy’s Montarbo Sets Up U.S. Distribution
http://www.fohonline.com/on-the-move/98 ... ution.html

LAS VEGAS — Italian professional audio manufacturer Montarbo (Elettronica Montarbo srl) and Audio Innovation Research, LLC (air audio systems) are backing a joint venture, MontAir Distribution, based here, to expand the presence of Montarbo speakers and air/Software Audio Console (SAC) console/DAW products in the U.S.

While fairly new to the most U.S. customers, Montarbo is a well-established manufacturer that has been serving the pro audio needs of Europe, the Middle East and Asia for more than 50 years. In recent years, Montarbo, which distributes to 68 countries via a network of distributors, has launched its FiveO by Montarbo pro audio product line designed in Italy and manufactured in China along with a commercial audio division.

MontAir, LLC will function as the official distributor for Montarbo products in North America and also continue to distribute air audio systems/Software Audio Console (SAC) mixing console/DAW products to the U.S. and Latin America.

See when you read that, it sounds like it's just a distribution deal for Montarbo to get it's gear to the US. And perhaps that is all it really is, which would make sense.

Agreed. I think it's the folks at air audio systems who are hyping this up to make it seem like it's a much bigger deal than what the reality of it is.
