My need is for a road in-ear monitoring rack system. The Behringer X32 rack unit is eating everyone’s lunch in this market space, but you need their stage box too if you want to have stereo signals for more that 3 performers. The QU-PAC only has 3 stereo aux busses, which takes it out of contention for a pro, stereo IEM road system for full bands. So a SQ Rack with its native 12 outputs makes a simple but powerful solution with the added benefits of the SQ line including, as mentioned, various IO interface cards to send splits to FOH without using copper multicore. A product like a SQ-PAC would easily win in the pro IEM road system market.
How many stereo IEM mixes do you need?
With a QU Pac you could get five stereo mixes.
The L R out could be a mix and on the QU series the groups can be switched to become a stereo aux/mix. To get the additional aux/mix out you can assign it to the ALT OUT.
Actually you could get six stereo mix outs if you could use the AES output.
With a stage box you could get eight stereo mixes and additional input channels as well.
