They wouldn't have TRS on the snake, so it would be something they'd need at FOH and generally speaking wouldn't have. Third, if you did as suggested above, the sound guy would actually need to have an XLR to TRS converter for every channel you are using. One is the multiple mic pre's, second going out line level. Of course, any comments on these two pieces of kit will be especially welcome.Ĭlick to expand.There are a number of reasons why this would over complicate. I'd love to hear from those who have been through the same decision-making process recently, and find out what mixer you went for and why. I should also mention that we want a physically small and light as possible rig. However, I'm a little put off by having to use an ipad or computer, whereas the Touchmix still has some knobs to grab. It seems to me that the X32 can definitely do what we want (8 aux sends, I believe?).
It is possible that our drummer will stay with stage monitors, and therefore he can live with a mono mix, but we still won't have enough sends for independent mixes.
However, would it be a good choice for an IEM mixing solution?Īs much as I like the look and feel of the Touchmix, it only has 6 aux sends whereas we would want 4 stereo IEM mixes. I managed to get some hands-on time with a QSC Touchmix 16 this weekend, and really liked its intuitive user interface, small form factor, light weight and built-in wifi router. I've seen some threads here on the FAS forums about the X32, and it seems those that have it are very happy with it, though some mentioned that the learning curve is a bit steep. My band (4 piece) has been tip-toeing around going IEM for some time ago (I posted a question about IEM gear a year or so back) and, after lots of head-scratching and hesitating, we've decided to go for it - especially as there seem to be some powerful and reasonably priced digital mixing gear out there now.
