If this can expand to 24 or 32 inputs and the I Pad app is anything like the GLD or I live it will be amazing.

You apparently can run two layers of inputs :D . Expansion and/or digital snake via GLD-AR2412 or GDL-AR84 .

Oh man, I just got to mix on a GLD a couple of weeks ago, very impressive!

After sitting through a couple of their online videos I had no trouble getting it up & running, and was very happy with the sound (as were the clients).

This QU16 looks like a killer for small club/install/church or running a secondary stage at a festival. Not something I need right now, but I'll be keeping an eye on its release...

The extra three stereo inputs plus talkback mic input is killer - competes well with the Presonus S16 channel count unlike the DL1608 and iX16 :( .

This board is in a completely different class than the Mackie. And a completely different price point. Thanks for sharing though. It's definitely going to be an awesome mixer.

At ~$2000 it's a competitor to the X32 producer :) .

Oh dear. I really didn't need to hear that!
I have one of the UK's biggest Allen & Heath dealers 5 miles up the road.
This can only lead to a divorce or no summer holiday lol!
I did say nice things about Behringer gear but said I didn't need them as I'd just invested recently.
This is different... :o
This is why I have to keep working.
This is why I love working after all these years.
Maybe you've guessed by now that I'm a big fan of A&H.
One of my friends is the head tech at the dealership (Reasound.co.uk) and had been invited over to A&H last year to give input into the new "digital wizard".
From what he saw at that stage he said it would be a "good 'un" and he's used with the very best of gear.
Anyway, I'll calm down. This is the DL forum. It's a keeper too. Oh dear again :lol:

I'm afraid I can't help you there, I'm too far from London to have any first hand knowledge of anything worth a trip. There used to be a host of smaller instrument orientated shops off the Tottenham Court Road years ago. They had lots of rare and exotic used bargains, or so they seemed at the time;)

If you are coming to Belfast however, I can take you to the local A&H dealer. They usually have iLive, GLD, Midas & Yamaha on display, demoed through Martin, Coda etc. Floorspace-wise it's probably a small store compared to US stores but they shift a lot of boxes and always have good brands.

They are going to be available here from the 25th of May, the dealer has a first batch of 10 coming in then. £1600+VAT (20% tax)
I have to ask myself though, do I really, really need it?
Honestly, no.  :o
Will I buy one, probably. :facepalm:
I haven't even heard it yet, it might be crappy, although I doubt that.
Apologies for the multiple posts, I'm easily excited.  ::)

Looks like the only exciting feature here is that you can hang it on a rail.  :o
