QSC Premieres the New TouchMix-30 Pro Compact Digital Mixer

September 30 2016, 04:00
QSC introduced the TouchMix-30 Pro, a 32-channel digital mixer expanding the acclaimed TouchMix Series mixer lineup with an enhanced feature set. The new TouchMix-30 Pro was designed for production professionals, musicians and bands as well as live performance venues, and QSC hopes the concept will establish a new standard for performance in a compact digital mixer with features and functionality that will satisfy the most demanding professionals. 
 

Like the first TouchMix models, the new TouchMix-30 Pro provides an intuitive workflow for users at every level of experience. With 32 mixing channels (24 Mic/Line, 6 Line, Stereo USB) and 16 outputs, the new QSC TouchMix-30 Pro offers tremendous signal management flexibility for a wide range of applications. 

Beyond offering a higher channel count than its predecessors, a host of additional, new “Pro” features sets TouchMix-30 Pro apart from its smaller TouchMix Series siblings, including a large (10-inch) multi-touch touchscreen with more on-screen information and greater hands-on control; Anti-Feedback and Room Tuning Wizards to simplify complex equalization tasks and two real-time analyzers (RTA), providing instantaneous analysis of channel tonal balance and room response.

The new TouchMix-30 Pro also offers a new touch-and-route patch matrix interface for easy “multing” and rearrangement of inputs, and features eight sub-groups with 6-band full parametric EQ, variable high-pass and low-pass filters and a limiter which may be linked for stereo.

Another unique feature of the new QSC TouchMix mixer is the 32-channel direct-to-hard drive record/playback capability, allowing users to capture and recall performances without the need for an external computer. This is complemented with a 32-channel DAW interface with Apple computers, allowing for bidirectional I/O with popular workstation software. A USB port also allows direct playback of audio files from connected memory devices.
 

Additionally, the TouchMix-30 Pro offers an expanded set of the technology found in earlier TouchMix Series mixers, including 24 class-A microphone studio-quality audio preamps. The familiar ready-to-use features of the TouchMix Series includes over 120 presets with mix-ready channel settings for live instrument, microphone and other audio sources; 1/3 octave graphic equalization and 6-band parametric EQ plus limiters, delay and 12-band notch filters on all outputs; and the possibility to pair up to 14 mono mixes for stereo while two pairs of Aux-channels can drive wired in-ear monitors (IEM) directly. Six stereo effects processors plus pitch-correction offer studio-grade signal enhancements, without sacrificing Aux or additional channels.

“The TouchMix-30 Pro builds on the stellar reputation of its predecessors, offering more of the results-oriented capabilities that set TouchMix Series apart from other mixer alternatives adding new, advanced capabilities typically found in products at a far higher price,” says QSC Professional Director of Marketing, Ray van Straten. “Customer response from our extensive global field-testing and as measured by pre-release orders has been incredible. Clearly, this is the right product at the right time for the market and we’re quite confident that the TouchMix-30 Pro will exceed customer expectations in every way.”

The TouchMix-30 Pro is available immediately in select markets worldwide. List price is $2,359.99 with a U.S. estimated street price of $1,899.99.
