Well, I had the pleasure of meeting Hugo (altman himself) and Tony Fabris today. Hugo is in town (San Jose) showing the MK2 to the FCC aparently. He was nice enough to give Tony and myself a demo.

The unit that he had still has the MK1 face so nothing new there (although I was excited because this was the first time I had seen either unit in person). Hugo took the unit apart and let us look at the guts. We spent nearly two hours talking about the Mark2 and Empeg in general.

With Hugo's permission I grabbed a pic of the back of the unit for those of you trying to determine how best to mount it. You can find it here...

This shows (from upper left to lower right) connector for laptop style lock, new docking connector, power connector, USB, Ethernet, serial, and RCA jacks.

There is also a pic of (from left to right) Tony, myself, and Hugo at...

if anyone is interested.

The inside of the Mark2 (sorry I didn't get a pick) is very impressive. Very clean and less cluttered than I would have expected.

I am sure tfabris will have some more commentary on the meeting when he gets back to a computer. I just wanted to post that pick of the back of the Empeg and say thanks to Hugo for taking the time to show off. I am going to get back to enjoying the beautiful weather now.
