Re: 7.1 Monitoring Controller & Beyond?
Well a QSYS doesn't go for much less as soon as you want 16+ analogue outs and Dante and AES...

The Peavey was the first device other than the BSS to give you flexibility. The Qsys takes it to a whole other level. There are some used Peavy units on Ebay for less than a $1000.00

Re: 7.1 Monitoring Controller & Beyond?
Right, but my key point was '...fpr what you get'. I skimmed the manual on the Peavey, and the programming with the Q-Sys Designer software seems way more advanced.

I never said that QSYS was in any way inferior and if you can spend 10k+ on such a box that's great, go for it. I also never said that the NION was better. I simply mentioned the existence of another system which as noted is used at a pretty credible facility. By all means, get the QSYS if you need all those options and have the $$. My point was there is almost nothing between the 10k range and the fixed architecture boxes like the Intonato and that the Xilica fills a gap there but it's limited. But now there's the MTRX EQ card so there's a new perspective. My guess is that these open architecture DSP boxes with I/O cards are the future anyway. The more competition the better. What's great about them is that if you can pretty much program whatever you want to them even down to controlling the light switch in the projection booth remotely of you want to. Just add a new element to your iPad surface.

The new Dad/ Mom combination with room EQ looks like it would fit the bill for the vast majority of people here looking for a 7.1 monitor box.

It’s a shame QSC doesn’t make the 250i model anymore. It ran roughly half that. Super exciting news about the EQ card for the MTRX. I hadn’t heard about that.

Re: 7.1 Monitoring Controller & Beyond?
Two points:
1) on a much smaller scale, I use RME Totalmix w ARC USB controller as my monitoring controller. Features are minimal but you can gang channels. Not the thing for a stage, but adequate for cutting rooms, home rigs etc. 2) Pixar also uses NION for I/O matrix routing and monitor matrix. Very solid, does the job; has a special touchscreen interface w customizable controls. Great thread. -jeremiah Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
