Anyone running a mix of Carbons & Live units ? Iโ€™m currently running all Carbons (networked via Ethernet hub) and wanting to get a larger 12โ€ unit for bow to run AT and not having much luck finding a good used Carbon 12. May have to go to Live and wondering how well the two play together. Donโ€™t really trust Fleabay.

I run a 16 and 12 Carbon up front and a single Live 12 in the dash. Everything is perfect, zero complaints

I run a 9 love at the bow and 12โ€ Carbon at the console. All work great together. I am looking for a carbon 9 to put up on the bow as well to have a dedicated AT on the 9 live.

Same here, had 0 issues last year running a Live 9 at the console and a carbon 12 at the bow. I went ahead and upgrade the 9 live to a 12 this year and flipped the bow and console. Have the live at the bow for AT (for the quicker processor) and the Carbon at the console. No issues what so ever.

The majority of the carbon 12 and 16 inch graphs found on eBay are refurb cracked screen units and now have [censored] aftermarket glass that you cannot see whatsoever in the sun because of the cheap replacement screen. I returned a 16 carbon for my console because of this and went with a brand new live 12 instead , no regrets

Have you taken the time to A/B the carbon vs live on the AT to see if their is a difference? Iโ€™d think the only difference between the two, with regards to AT1, would be the screen size and resolution. The processing is mostly done in the AT black box and the HDS is a controller and monitor.

All of the processing is done inside the module. I run AT2 on Carbon 16 and its solid
