I hope to pick one up in about 45 days for use during my summer theater camp season.
PFL clear can, from what I've seen be set up as a User Defined Key. should it be included by default? maybe, but I like the option.
For the SQ6 at least you have User Defined Rotary keys that could be set as volume pots for some studio
monitor outs.
And there are a crap ton of UDK's that I (before
purchase) can't even remotely imagine using more then half of.
I thought the single/Duel
Led light for
channel meter might be lame at first, but they do have an elegant solution. and that
meter is mostly for initial visual
gain staging and clip check. So i see myself getting used to it just fine.
Especially for all the features packed in the A&H which are much improved over the M32/X32. namely workflow, and fully customized routing and
layout. the A&H SQ has everything the M32 has (hard coded
PFL clear cue, and
LED metering aside) but expands upon the guts and and backend that M32/x32 limit you to; like patching in/outs in blocks of 8,4. bizarre routing/patch screens. (which I still fight with trying to get a matrix or mix to output out a given output on the local i/o or Stagebox.)
Ive used both the x32 and m32 twice now, and while I like it's newer features that have become standard for digital consoles, I always seem to have to fight do what I know is so easily done on an Yahama LS9,QL5/A&H GLD
system. I'm looking forward to my personal SQ6 and we'll report back once it's in
hand has a few shows under it's belt.
