Along with the release of v1.9 firmware for the A&H QU series, I found out about the new QU-SB. Seems to be a QU-Pac minus the screen and any front-panel controls at all - hence the beefing up of the iPad app to do everything.
I looked at the pricing on the web - about $300 less than the QU-Pac.
Behringer x32 rack at the same price as the QU-SB - the x-Air-xr16 at $699...
I was toying with the idea of a head-only second mixer to go with the QU16, but from a price point, I can not see it. From a functional point, A&H does allow the d-snake to actually increase the number of Inputs to 32 - and an increase in outputs as well - at close to a grand for the AB168.
A&H still does not offer an off-line scene editor/creator -
What am I missing?
