Hi
Are there any users of the QU-SB mixer out there. I appreciate that this is a fairly new product but I’m interested to hear anyone’s comments from using this in a live performance situation.
I have experienced using a QU-24 at our local rehearsal studio, which was great.
I’m currently looking for a mixer to mainly set up as a silent rehearsal studio with everyone on IEM mixes. Possibly then also using it as our live mixer for small venues where we either don’t have the luxury of a FOH engineer, or where FOH mixing via iPad is the best option rather than a fixed FOH position (when I’d prefer physical faders).
Would I then be able to transfer the monitor mixes created on a QU-SB to a QU-24?
Any other feedback both positive or negative for this product would be most useful in helping me make the decision regarding which product to go for.
Thanks
Pete
2016/10/07 at 12:54 pm #58589I’ve not used a QU-SB yet, but use my Qu-Pac a lot, and it’s a long time since I touched any of the controls on the front – so pretty well the same thing.
I user the custom layers a lot, and may spent quite a bit of time deciding what to put on them & where, mainly to ensure that if I want to turn up/down/on/off 2 or more things at a time, they’re on the same page.
I really got the QU-Pac to do conference work and tiny little gigs, but now use it for full band work almost as much as my QU-16. OK, given the space, I’d always prefer to have a 16/24/32
- and the iPad
at FOH, but I’m no longer really bothered if I can’t.
And yes, within the limits of different numbers of ins/outs & groups/matrix, you can transfer files from one desk to another.

All very useful information and reassuring that you are confident with just the iPad control if needed.

2016/10/13 at 9:04 pm #58675I’ve gigged with the QU16 on stage, and me roaming with an iPad or two and wireless IEMs as PAFL…
I do prefer faders, but it is possible.
2016/10/14 at 4:06 pm #58683I have a Qu-16, but convinced my band mate that this would serve him well. I may be posting in the future on his behalf.
2016/10/15 at 1:23 pm #58686I’ve been doing the majority of my smaller shows with a Qu-SB and an AB168.
The dSNAKE gets most of the action (on stage) and the Qu-SB handles a few more local inputs like the wireless rack, mp3 player for breaks, etc…
Killer combination IMHO, and saves space in my SUV and on stage.
Most of the time I am riding a few faders during the show (vocals, guitars) so they live on one Custom Mix layer.
Did a show last night where the band is all on IEM’s, so 3 of the 4 guys used the Qu-You app on their phones to do their own monitor mixes. They loved it, as did I!
My Qu-16 and GLD-80 are getting lonely….2016/11/16 at 7:17 pm #59358Hi folks,
just bought a QU-SB today!
I’ve started working on it, seems pretty. Had some problem with q-drive, but tomorrow I will check it better!2016/11/16 at 10:29 pm #59360Send the gld80 my way, I’m sure I could give it some exercise 😉
2016/11/26 at 4:03 am #59516Very much enjoying the compact size of the Qu-SB mixer plus iPad combo!!

Actually, I’ve just become the owner of a brand new QU-SB. Shallow rack case arriving next week and then it will be used in anger 🙂
