QSC TouchMix-8 at a glance
The TouchMix-8 is an 8-channel touch screen mixer, with a 6.1 x 3.5" full colour TFT screen. TouchMix-8 mixers are completely self-contained. They require no external PC or video display. The graphic, colour touch-screen provides display of and access to mix parameters. Mixer parameters may be adjusted on the screen or via the physical rotary encoder. Frequently used functions can be accessed or controlled using hardware buttons. TouchMix-8 may also be controlled remotely by means of Wi-Fi connection to wireless iOS devices. The available Remote Control App controls all mixer parameters and the mixer includes a WiFi adapter that creates the network connection between the mixer and the hand-held device. No external network hardware is required.
To sound their best, musicians need to hear themselves. With ten auxiliary output channels, TouchMix-8 has ample stage monitor mixing capability. Both models have the ability to drive multiple, wired stereo in-ear monitors directly. TouchMix-8 is also capable of direct recording to an external USB hard drive and no external computer is required. All inputs plus a stereo mix are created in 32-bitbroadcast wave format. Tracks can also be played back on the mixer or imported into most DAW software for over-dubs and post production. Finally, the TouchMix-8 comes complete with its own padded carrying case, for transport and protection. Wherever your music takes you, the TouchMix will be there; ready to take the stage to help you achieve the most ideal sound for your audience.
The first thing you notice is how very small this mixer really is. No bigger than a laptop. It does, however, offer a very full range of channel processing options (EQ, compression and effects) ad the overall audio performance is superb. I found it connected easily and instantly using the supplied wi-fi dongle, but that range was far superior when using an Apple Airport Express, so if you intend using it in larger venues, this should be considered. The mic preamps, while sounding very good, do still require manual trim adjustment, though there is a +/i 6dB 'digital gain' setting available that allows some remote control. The recording facilities are excellent and the mixer works well with an external SSD drive, delivering full mulit-track functionality. Saving and recalling presets and scenes is straightforward and trouble free. Overall: a really nice mixer that is user friendly and sounds fantastic.
In a time when online purchases are extremely high due to the restrictions that the corona virus has caused to be put in place my order was delivered in very reasonable time. Thank you dv247.
