I am a little curious about the positioning in the low end market as well. I just watched the CX April news and they mentioned a price of around $3800 in Australia which would put it squarely in price competition with the Presonus 32 and the X32 but of which have 32 channels rather than 16.
Now, I really like the feature set of the Qu-16 particularly the buttons down the right for the sends – something I wish I could do on the iLive preferably with a set of MIDI buttons or a controller.
But, sitting here, two thirds of the way through implementing a standardisation for our smaller church campus venues on Presonus 16s I am feeling a little bit like its too little too late.
However, I look forward to being proven wrong and seeing a proliferation of Allen and Heath kit through the world again

http://www.metrochurch.org.auThere are also the two buttons on the right – Input and Output AFL?
If you select the Input one, then you will hear the channel with it’s PAN and FOH level rather than before (PRE) the fader.
I find this really useful when you want to check your vocal mix by PAFL-ing the Vox DCA.
I hope this is what you are looking for or, alternatively, a new avenue of fun and adventure

http://www.metrochurch.org.auThank you Richard
in depth Scene management in the current system would probably work better in something that looks rather like an arrange window or piano roll, but as I was writing that I suddenly wondered about an Object Oriented Scene management system.
I think I saw something somewhere recently talking about how the settings would follow a character whom you could define.
Perhaps where your base scene defines the people and instruments on stage and the settings and somehow you can choose when you edit / save a parameter whether it affects the overall sound of that channel e.g. overall instrument sound, or just for this part of the production.
Maybe a way of having a scene group “Band 1” or “act 1” or whatever and then the option to “Apply channel settings to Scene Group”.
Is the MIDI spec up to a level where scene management could be run from a sequencer?

http://www.metrochurch.org.auSome new wishes … but before I do, thank you for the stereo channel control stuff in the pre-amps and the new Algorithms for the GEQs and improving the network connectivity for multiple devices.
1. Be able to gang a Stereo Matrix with a Mono Matrix
2. Side Chain connection between Main and Aux (I use a mono Aux for Subs and it would be nice to keep it together)
3. Scene settings EDIT – can we get visibility of the surface configuration stuff like PAFL latching, bank linking DCA / Mute group, soft keys. these things are stored in a store All but you can’t add them to a discretely specified Scene config.
4. Trim on outputs ideally with the Polarity button – which I also love (I know you can have matrices with faders but we don’t have any left) and if you are sending the same send to different targets (EG CDR, Computer, & Video record) and need different levels its a bit of a waste of a Bus.
5. Gain on RTA so that we can get it to a reasonable level on the screen
6. retrofit labels for the two EQ ranges
7. the ability to route a Group to effect sendsThat’s probably enough for now
Hopefully none of them are particularly arduous.
Thanks again for a great product
