DDX3216. What does it have, out of the box?

I've downloaded the manual, I've searched the Net, and I still have nowhere
that will tell me what functions (sends etc) that a 3216 has straight out of
the
box, with no add ons. It appears to have 4 multi outputs which can be set up
as stage-monitor feeds but nothing in the manual is helping, as all it can
say
is...
To take full advantage of these features, at least one of the optional I/O
modules needs to be installed.

....which is no use to anyone. My car can fly if I attach optional wings!



Can anyone who actually uses one of these help me out with the spec's as per
the basic unit.



Rv!

Basically you're correct, that if you want to make more use of the 16
bus outs than just the built-in four multi-outs, then you need a
module. So obviously a module is highly desirable. I'm sure the thought
process from Behringer is that some poeple will want TDIF, others ADAT,
and still others AES/EBU - so let the buyer decide. But in most of the
places I've seen, if you buy a DDX3216 now then either an ADAT or TDIF
interface module is included with the price. They're closing them out
at $650 at several places, module included. An outstanding deal, in my
opinion.
