[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 114958, member: 126"] Re: New QSC Product - TouchMix This is clearly an incremental cost increase compared to the manually controlled preamps. Yes the gain control pot (and panel real estate) is a saving, but that is likely a wash with the increases channels of serial digital control (SPI or I2S) that is not expensive but mixer math (16x or whatever) means not free. I expect the cost increase to be less than some predict, and feature benefit perhaps more than some predict. As always the market will sort this out too. JR PS: The THAT preamp is a two chip set where one chip contains the digital gain switching and the other the preamp, so clearly a cost bump. These digitally controlled preamps are not simple to do transparently to the end users so there is lot of glue inside to reduce clicks and zipper noise , etc. [/QUOTE]
