[QUOTE="Josh Millward, post: 115176, member: 970"] Re: New Midas M32 Console My word... Please tell me more about how crappy the company is that I work for and how inferior our products are.

Yes, it is well known that many of the engineers who originally worked for Peak Audio and later for Cirrus Logic (after Cirrus bought Peak) have gone to work for QSC.
