Information technology was fairly easy to larn how to ready. I did use the online assist videos available which was a great help. I had this mixer for a week and was confident to utilise information technology for a live gig and it worked great.
The faders brand it possible to rapidly adjust sound on stage and the power to use an iPad to run your mix gives you the ability to take a front of business firm applied science without needing the desk out front end. The QU YOU app has saved me so much frustration because now all my ring members tin adjust their own monitor mixes.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is wanting to go from analog to digital. Sounds neat, easy to gear up, like shooting fish in a barrel to sympathize, and a keen layout.
Going from Analog to Digital is a big switch. It was for me, simply I could not be happier. I’m one of those guys that sits dorsum on things while the bugs become worked out for the starting time half-dozen months to a year before I make a move. To me, the Qu Series boards were brought in because of the “success” of the Behringer X32. I’grand glad A & H did. The X32 has a agglomeration of great features that, personally, make the board appealing simply I think it adds to how confusing these new Digital Boards can be. Yous can actually overwhelm your cocky with adding in all the niggling nuggets the X32 provides. Style to busy of a board for me. I know information technology well and use one at a venue I run sound for, simply my NUMBER One Pick is my A & H Qu24. The Qu16 & Qu32 are amazing by themselves but the Qu24 suits my needs. Very piece of cake piece of work menses throughout the board, much less complicated than the X32, the Pre-Amps are Legendary, the on board Effects are dandy and so easy to motion in and out for every song or artist. This board is clean! No hiss here! I like the addition of the Chrome knobs, while working in low low-cal. Bought mine earlier the chrome i came out. I also bought the desk lamp that plugs in and information technology is nifty too. Pricey for a low-cal merely you lot become what y’all pay for. I recently bought the Digital Stage Snake AH2412 and 200′ of cable and non 1 issue with latency when making adjustments. I did non purchase the A & H cable. I bought ane that is basically the same only it’s the i Behringer suggests for their Digital boards and snakes. I also have a defended wireless router for the board and use the Qu App on my iPad. I’ll walk abroad from the board to check sound coverage throughout the venue with my iPad and make adjustments as needed. Once more, no latency here either. Some of the performers are also using the iPhone app called Qu Yous because they have performed with me a few times and this lets THEM suit their ain monitor mix. It’due south really a great set up upwards once you have a basic agreement of how information technology works.
I also have to admit that I run the board to a DAW with Pro Tools and I tin can record every performance and subsequently its completed I send a re-create of that functioning to the artist if they request it. Works out well. If you use a Mac you can record all 24 channels in to the DAW.
1 last quick affair then I’m done. With the on going software updates, A & H make this board even better. They’ve added in a library of microphone settings that you can utilize as a starting signal for a given channel similar the kick drum. These settings are very practiced by themselves and make sound checks get very speedily. I’ve found I make slight adjustments, if I apply that mic pre-set. There are plenty of Forums online to respond questions. I know I used them when starting out.
Don”t be scared of Allen & Heath, but all of their competitors should be. Peace!
