ANAHEIM, CA — At Winter NAMM 2014, QSC Audio Products is introducing its much-anticipated digital mixer line. The TouchMix Series offers musicians, production pros and live performance venues the power and capability of a large format console in a highly portable, fully integrated, affordable and easy-to-use product.
More details from QSC Audio (www.qsc.com):
Just as digital cameras offer advanced features for professional photographers and “point and shoot” features to help novice users, the TouchMix-8 (12 input channels) and TouchMix-16 (20 inputs) provide users a choice of Advanced Mode operation that offers total control over all parameters or Simple Mode that provides only the most essential controls.
Specs include 4-band, fully parametric EQ with both variable high/low-pass filters and dynamics processing on each input channel. Four mix buses feed four internal, professional, digital effects processors. Comprehensive dynamics, graphic EQ, hi- pass, lo-pass and notch filters and delay are available on both the main and aux outputs and there are eight DCA groups with mutes as well as eight mute groups. With four (TouchMix-8) or ten (TouchMix-16) aux output channels, TouchMix also has ample stage monitor mixing capability. Both models can directly drive multiple, wired stereo in-ear monitors. TouchMix includes a comprehensive library of complete Mixer Scenes, and all user parameters of any mix can be saved, both internally and via USB drive.
The TouchMix Series are completely self-contained and require no external PC or video display. The graphic, color touch-screen provides access to all mix parameters along with a physical rotary encoder and hardware buttons. An available Remote Control App for iOS devices controls all mixer parameters and the included USB Wi-Fi adapter creates the network connection between the mixer and the handheld device.

The QSC TouchMix will be available mid 2014.
