Okay, so here's where a question comes in. Given your explanation of the different categories, is a "pre/pro," as I've seen it described several times on the AAF, a stereo preamp that also has surround capability?

Yes!

Put another way, would our Mac MX-130 Control Center be described as a pre/pro in the latest lexicon?

Yes!


I embedded my answers in your post.
