I’ve been waiting for the form and function of a unit like the CQ-18T. The QU-16 was too big and the motorized faders made me nervous. The Soundcraft Ui24R was also too big and limited by not having a built-in control surface. I was seriously considering a QU-PAC but was thinking surely A&H is about ready to release a new product…and they did. Not to go on and on but for my level, the form and function of this unit is as good as it can get.
