Not really a review, just a quick note to rave about how this unit has performed for me.
I've been a QSC fan since buying HPR122s years ago. I've since moved out of them and into a TON of K-series, making a LOT of money renting out K10s, more recently K8s and just recently acquiring a pair of KSubs. Ethical decisions on my part dictate that I'll never own another Behringer piece, so their stuff (I've also disqualified the Midas stuff by association) was out of consideration. I tried a Mackie DL1608, but was told by the salesperson that everything I needed was in the box, that it would wirelessly talk to my iPad. I didn't do my homework and learn that I needed a router.
I've long been a big fan of Yamaha digital consoles, starting with an original 01v, then 01v96, LS9-32, LS9-16, and most recently a QL1 (LOVE IT!!!). What I've long wanted was basically a LS9-8. Something that would give me decent functionality and a great feature set with a minimal input count. -A quality improvement from the Mackie 1202, 1402, CFX-12 isn stuff. (that's all I've got left for analog mixers).
I stopped at my case maker with the sealed box to let him get measurements for the briefcase I envisioned, and was thrilled when I opened the box to find that it comes packed in a perfect "pedal-board" sized soft case that offers just the right amount of protection for a top-load.
Another added bonus is that wifi functionality comes via a little USB dongle that plugs into the back of the Touchmix. No external router required. I had occasional dropouts at about 40-50' away, but it quickly reconnected.
One of my techs had the Touchmix16 out for it's maiden voyage and messaged me that he didn't like it, that the latency on-screen was a problem for him.
I had it out Thursday for my first time for a corporate for a major health care company. I didn't have much time to play, but was thrilled with it's ease of setup and performance. Today I had a daylong "festival" type event for a non-profit. A last minute shift in the stage layout cost me stage monitors, but for the 15 or so artists on stage (solos and duos) with no sound checks, it worked remarkably well. I ran the whole show on the iPad, and was thrilled at how logical and well thought out the functions and interface of this console were.
I'm really excited to buy a few of the Touchmix 8 consoles when they come. They're going to fill a real need in my inventory.
I'd love to hear feedback from other Touchmix users.
Anyone?
