Here is a photo of the prototype PLC•1




The production remote will have silkscreening and an aluminum panel around the lower buttons.

any chance of a shot of the back panel?

And does it have balanced xlrs in/out plus single ended rca in and outs?

We won't have more photos until it's a finished product...other than maybe a few shots from the HE show.

PLC•1 is single-ended (RCA) only.
To have the same features with RCA and XLR would require a full-size chassis just to accommodate all 32 jacks, as well as doubling the number of relays and other internal parts.

Will any other products share that form factor, or is that a one-off chassis?

The new D•400 uses the same look/construction, but 4" high.
Our future higher-end products will use this same chassis type.

The "small box" products will also remain in our product line.
This gives customers a wider variety of products and price categories.

Check out the HE 2006 thread at Audio Central and look at the bottom of page 2 of the Stereophile link where Dusty presented two new Channel Islands Audio products to the show: the $895 PLC•1 passive preamp with remote and the $4,500/pr D•400 class-D power amps.

We hope to be shipping in 4-5 weeks...just waiting on remote controls and packaging to get here.
I will post here and on our website when they're ready to go.
