[8] Just recently purchased this mixer and I must say its amazing

[HDD] I bought a second TouchMix-16 so I would have one for performance and one for practice/backup. I have been very happy with the product. This one came with firmware version 1 which needed to be updated to avoid recording problems. It is not difficult to update the firmware. I would suggest using a solid state drive for recording if you are going to travel with it because it won't require special handling.

[-86 dBu ] Ok, I wanted to give this 4 stars because I can't get used to not having physical faders. But that's just me - I'm an old curmudgeon who has been doing sound longer than most of you have been alive. In truth, the tiny, lightweight console is just the thing when you're going to have to mix from any iPad anyway. The iPad app, btw, is really very good and much more responsive than some I've used for other consoles. There's still a lag, but it's acceptable. For multi-fader mixing (which I've done for decades), it's not quite there, but it can be done. Some of the functions on the console itself are a bit obscure, and thus better on the iPad. The head-amp gain seems a bit low (needs to be nearly full on for SM57's) but I haven't tried it with truly difficult mics like an SM7b or ribbon. For those a Cloudlifter might be required. I find the gate and compressor screens to be less informative than on other console iPad apps, though I understand the theory of what they are presenting. It's software though, so it may change in the future. Kind of miss the flags for gates and compressors that were in the pre-release 3 firmware, but that's not huge.

All in all, for the price, space and weight, it's hard to go wrong. And, in case you're wondering, yeah it sounds good too. I think it is not quite as good sounding as some more expensive 16 channel mixers (A&H comes to mind), but certainly acceptable in 95% of the small gigs I do.

If you're going to operate wirelessly, I don't think you can get 16 channels in a much smaller footprint and still have a usable console. This is an advantage - to me - over those rack mount only mixers where you have to work wirelessly.

The case, btw, is just about perfect. Everything fits in comfortably and without pushing and shoving on wires, etc. I wouldn't take the console anywhere without it. Looks nice too for those who are concerned about such things.

In my opinion, if you need small and light weight, this is the only choice.

[8] th best of the music

[10.4 lb] This is exactly what I was looking for, for years! We bought the QSC TouchMix-16 for our churches youth ensemble. We hooked up three mics. One for Cantor, one for flute, and one for the sax and horns. The cello and harp used their pickups. The keyboard mono output. So we had 7 inputs, which is why we bought the 20 input model. We are hoping more youth join the ensemble. We used it today for the first time. We are not experienced sound people. This unit worked like a breeze! The wifi worked perfectly and far from the mixer. We were able to adjust levels while sitting in the pews, even when the church was full. This month was the first month every instrument could be heard and we were able to blend them sweetly. I am so happy with our purchase and can't wait till next month so we can use it again. Thank you so very much QSC for making such a beautiful, portable, easy to use mixer! Thank you B and H too, because of course I had no problems ordering and receiving my mixer from you. God Bless to all!

[-86 dBu ] I have just recived this two weeks ago. The QSC touchmix is simply splended and I love useing it with my Ipad. I do live bands and I also use it in my studio. It works with Pro Tools 11 with the newest update.

[8] This is simply the best combination of price, capability and small footprint at any price. To date, I have not used it with iPad remote, which is to say that everything I've done with it involved using the physical controls on the device. At roughly the size of a 17 notebook computer, the number of channels and Aux outputs is amazing. The degree of control--EQ, compression, etc., is spectacular. The biggest downside, as is the case with larger console mixers, too, is the fact that if you're using most of the channels, you will have to toggle screens. But in real life, I've been able to do this easily enough. Mute groups can be assigned to numerous dedicated physical button mute groups. Plugging in a high-speed hard drive or bus-powered USB 3 SSD allows separate recording of all channels for virtually unlimited remixing options after a gig or if someone wanted to use this for a studio session. I found this item nearly accidentally, since QSC is not known for mixers so much as PA speakers. This item is without any direct competitor, and the quality and functionality are spectacular.

[8] I was really on the fence prior to purchasing this unit, but with the BH return policy I felt the risk was minimal. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance of this unit. Pros: -Lots of presets with reasonable setting. You are up and running with the board very quickly. -Clean menus. -Excellent responsiveness from both the touch screen and the dial control. -Very little, if any, audible noise of the board. This is comparable to other high end digital boards. - Good number of output options. - Firmware upgrade was very easy. Possible Improvements: - Podium EQ preset is not terrific. Seems to be an error in setup. - Allow the touchscreen to tilt. - Provide a locking mechanism for the XLR connector. - Provide a locking mechanism for the power cord. - Offer a longer whip on the DC side of the power brick. - Offer a locking IEC power cord going into the power transformer. - Offer a way to play an audio file from the record/playback screen. - Increase the spacing between the USB ports.
