Hey John,
If you’re going to be doing bigger shows at some stage, the QU-SB or QU-PAC will give you the channel expansion option that the CQ can’t.

I like the effects better on the CQ but there’s not much in it, the QU series has been solid for me.
There’s not much between them sound wise but the QU series, although older, is still quite a bit more expensive.

If the CQ covers the bases input/output wise, I’d probably pick it over the SB for the sheer fact that it’s newer and cheaper!

Got it working pretty sweet now – used it for a livestream tonight.
Quite a difference having 95% of what I need on the one page!
BTW – uploaded a couple of my layouts to the MS website, they might be a handy starting point for someone? Feel free to improve them please!!😃

Having taken a few hours trying to figure out MS’s idiosyncrasies I’m definitely understanding and liking it a lot more than I did.

Hey John, I realise the CQ20 is a different unit but I’ve owned, used and installed at least 8 QU-PACs since launch. Mine were always rackmounted in SKB shallow racks and never had one fail.
They cool by convection – no active fan in them.
The CQ range all have fans, I think A&H have it covered!

[robbocurryParticipant]

Nope, that’s just the way it works.
No internal date/time clock.
Same on the QU series.

Had no success getting mute groups working, got a quick reply from a he developer saying “CQ has no mute groups, use IDCA as a workaround”.
I know what he means. Must see if I can add stand alone mute buttons for this purpose.
I should have asked about media play/rec controls as I don’t see them on this first version either or have I missed it??

#5:
Yes you can link aux 1&2 together and if you wish, you can allocate that mix to the headphone socket on the CQ12T👍🏻😃
Hope that helps!

Maybe if someone gets a nice layout with mute group buttons, tap tempo etc, they’d be kind enough to upload it? I don’t have the patience or skill to ever get Mixing Station the way I want it!🤯

[robbocurryParticipant]

Cool!
I do prefer QU-mix to this but it’s good to have. Hopefully the CQ app will have same status after some tweaks!

[robbocurryParticipant]

Nope, that’s the only way at the moment – same with the QU series👍🏻

Like Lee & Big Merv, I had a DL1608 and was a beta tester for their app. I’ve been using A&H for over 20 years and never had a breakdown!
I bought into the QU series and have had multiple units all giving flawless performance. In reality they were a significant step up from the DL I had, albeit a bit more expensive.
As Lee said, a QU-SB or a QU-PAC have (IMHO) a better app for control presently than the CQ – an easier transition from your DL perhaps?
They’re a lot less cumbersome than a DL32 as well!!
The just launched CQ series is awesome sounding and has loads of potential software wise – it’s on its first iteration so many more great things to come.
A&H actively interact here unlike Mackie who closed their forum down:/
I think you’ll be very satisfied with any of the rackmounted QU or CQ units.

[robbocurryParticipant]

Not a long process…..

[robbocurryParticipant]

On my CQ18 it took me less than 8 seconds to multi select and switch between analogue and sd card input…….🤦
