anyone used it for multi-channels e.g 2 units for quad sound etc?

I have half an answer... and a corresponding concern. I own two W3 senders and four W3 receivers. I can have both senders connected to 2 completely different audio sources and each of the correct 2 receivers are able to connect and receive as they are supposed to do. There is no cross talk, no interference an every receiver seems to remain oblivious to signal from the "other" (non-paired?) receiver. So in that sense, quad would be supported... each pair of channels would be independent of the other pair. Now for the concern... My example does not require any synchronization. Sender "A" might be a time slot or two away from sender "B". I do not know if this difference would be perceptible as I have not tested. (I suspect it would not be even slightly perceptible but in a time slotted transmission I am pretty sure they could not sync to be absolutely identical) Either someone who has tried 4-channel or someone at AudioEngine is probably going to have to address this concern. But at least I hope I have brought your attention to the specific concern you should have! Will be interested to see other responses. bob

I use a standard receiver (amplified) and 4 work fine. I added an amplifier/speaker switch to run 4 pairs or 8 speakers from the one receiver. But just for 2 pair any receiver (amplified) should work fine.

correct. i have trouble getting more than 2 channel out of it, but it works.

theoretically as long as you're using dual channel it should work, don't have a GA-X58A-UD3R to field test..

According to the manual, you can... but why one? Dual channel with two is usually faster.

One more thing to Norman Normal, you have not specified which amp you have. If you have a Denon, there is a menu option buried down deep where you can specify multi-channel or two-channel.

the advice I found, and only after trying it with Bi-wired with my receiver, was unless you actually have two amps to power the speaker, wire it with the bridge in place via the single channel. You won't notice enough change with it bi-wired, and you only end up losing a pair of channels that you could otherwise use for rear surround or a second zone.

Yes, I do the same thing running 2 sets of speakers on the "B" Channel and 1 set on the "A" channel. Shouldn't matter what brand of receiver.

Well it is for 4 channels but you could try running a jumper to each side for the 2 extra speakers. This would divide the wattage by 6

No you can not connect multiple and unless you hooked up the transmitter to front channel speaker outputs, that would make no sense to have multiple surrounds in various rooms. and lets say u did find a way to connect multiple fx to one transmitter and ran it from front channel outs, the fx is not designed (driver freq. response, placement, etc.) to be used as a proper front channel. i believe this is what you had wanted to do, right?

I have never heard of anyone doing that. I use four patch cables to two aux sends and two aux returns on my Mackie Onyx 1640i. This uses up two of my 6 aux channels but it has a nice fat stereo effect. I'm sure it was not designed to plug a microphone into the analog in or out jacks.

If they are tuned to the same frequency you will hear the same mix from one transmitter... So yes. You can have multiple channels/frequencies from multiple units at the same time as well.

Not a great idea. The signal is split between subs and regular channels based on frequency. However they make an almost identical product that is 4x45 and that one has the setup you are looking for.

run it through a splitter, OR get an external mixer with multiple outs. thx!

I have that setup with 2 audio inputs and output to an ampamplifier. It works fine

if your units have the proper input / output connections, yes. I used a audio spliter, from the double output to a single input stereo head set and got great sounds and seperation.

Depends on what you are using it for. I use 3 of them each dual channel for stage monitors in a rock band, so the gains are wound 3/4 or so the way up and I send the appropriate levels to it from the board to control volume. If you need it for mains, step up a couple notches instead of bridging this one as another comment implies. I run my mains dual channel with an older xti 4000 for reference.
