Guys,
Have anyone got to experiment with a qu-32 and how it handles patching. I am looking for a digital mixer for a room at church. I am looking for a reasonable solution that will provide 10 in-ear mixes that can be controlled with iPad. I really liked the qu-32 mixer, but I think it will only support 7 mixes because of 5-10 being stereo mixes only. Is there a way to configure those stereo auxes to be mono? Would I need a external stage box to create more mono mixes.
Thanks for the help.

Everything I have seen says that there's no way to change them, as it was one of my choices. I would look at other choices in the price range.
Look at an X32, as you can do 16 true individual mixes if you so choose, and the iPad & iPhone/iPod app is so far one of the best IMHO compared to other offerings. My second choice (well choices) would be
- Studiolive 32.4.2AI, which has 14 mixes and has a just as great & easy to use iPad app (the only downfall being non recallable preamps)
- Studiolive RM32 which was just announced, which will offer 16 mixes and recallable pre's & appears to have a very similar layout to the Studiolive iPad apps
- Soundcraft Expression, which also does 14 mixes and has fully recallable preamps, but the iPad app is still an "in the works" deal and I'm not sure if there's an iPhone/iPod app.
YMMV, right now you can't beat the X32...If you would have asked me a year ago and I would have swore by the Studiolive, but after working with the X32 Compact, and using the iPad app, I have to agree that it is quite a piece of machinery for the price. Which is why I'm selling my Studiolive 24.4.2 for one...lol
