Moving faders started as an expensive option in the studio
desks of the 80s, and later became the norm with the advent
of digital technology. Nevertheless some entry-level digital
mixers lack this precious commodity which is a fundamental
part of the Total Recall approach. Fader automation is
essential for rapid mixing, especially when you’re dealing
with multiple monitor mixes – just press a mix key and the
faders immediately fly to the send levels for that mix.

Qu-16 features 17 motorized ALPS faders, 16 arranged over
2 layers, allowing instant access to all channels and masters
in a compact space, plus a dedicated master fader which
dynamically follows the mix selection. A third, Custom layer
is available for ad-hoc user strip layout, where any
combination of Inputs, FX Sends, FX Returns and Mix
masters can be assigned.
The SuperStrip
All your key processing tools are presented in a clean layout
on the SuperStrip, with 1 function per physical control. The
SuperStrip is complemented by an onscreen Touch Channel
for intuitive access to full processing parameters without
clutter or complex menu structures. Processing for Mono and
Stereo inputs includes trim, polarity, HPF, gate, insert, 4 band
PEQ, compressor and delay. The main LR and the Mono
mixes
mixes have controls for Insert, 1/3 octave GEQ, compressor
and delay. The Stereo mixes provide Insert, 4-band PEQ,
compressor, delay and balance control.
iLive FX
Qu-16’s dynamics and FX algorithms are derived from the FX
used in our iLive pro touring series. Some of the world’s most
respected audio engineers have chosen to use iLive’s FX on
tour in preference to top-end plug-ins and external FX units.
Qu-16 boasts 4 stereo iLive FX engines, featuring lovingly
crafted emulations of legendary classic reverbs, gated
reverbs, delays, modulators, flangers and more. The FX
library
library has the ability to grow with future firmware releases.
FX are returned to the mix on dedicated return channels, so
you’re not tying up your mono and stereo input channels.
Each Stereo FX Return has a dedicated 4 band PEQ.
