[QUOTE="frank kayser, post: 129958, member: 28"] Re: A&H QU Onboard Preamp Assignment It would seem that A&H is delaying the inevitable multiple iPhone/iPad mix capabilities in the QU series as they provide the ME personal mixing station for that purpose. By making the provision for the wireless band mix, they would be cutting their own knees out from under them. One makes them money, the other doesn't. Now, the QU does A LOT. Best in class? I don't know. I just bought one. Met my needs parameters. QU drive is a first on this "price-class" of mixers. Some of the Soundcraft owners lament that lack on their boards. In many ways, a step up from the Studiolive. Development on the original Studiolive has stopped, and shifted to the AI, as to be expected. Time for me to shed the old and buy the current. I also sympathize with the idea that the hardware is capable of more, but software development lag, the need to KISS, and the need for model differentiation will keep "all the possible features" out of the QU. For me, it is the lack of an offline scene editor - I suspect that will come with time. A&H provided the DCAs which was a sore point and a reason to go to other "entry level digitals". A&H software has yet to crack the possibilities of their hardware. Some will lament lack of DANTE support. By the mixer that has the feature set you need at the price you're willing to spend. Actually, among the offerings, Soundcraft, Studiolive, A&H QU, Behringer, Mackie and QUS (others?) there is not a dud. Some do more; some do less. None do it all. frank [/QUOTE]
