DETAILS: Neo features up to 100 universes of DMX per console, 10 motorised submasters and five motorised multi-function faders. Icons and Shutter controls
are represented graphically on the display, saving time and presenting meaningful data to the operator. Floating windows allow the operator to configure their views their way, making it easier to find information. Effects are enhanced with ‘Time Line’ features, allowing
drag and drop to create perfectly timed sequences. The show is even secured on a mission critical-grade SQL server, ensuring no data loss. Boot time is massively reduced with high-speed solid-state disk drives, making Neo robust for everyday and touring use.
AND ALSO: Other features include dual motorised grand masters, individually controlled backlit keys and colour LCD screens for encoder assignment.

YAMAHA QL SERIES
IT’S… A new range of digital mixing consoles.
DETAILS: The QL series comprises two models, the QL1 and QL5. The QL1 features 16 inputs and eight outputs in a 468mm-wide chassis, while the QL5 has 32 ins/16 outs and measures 828.4mm wide. The QL1 has 32 mono and eight stereo input channels; the QL5 has 64 mono and eight stereo. QL consoles are suitable for small to medium-sized
productions on their own; however, onboard Dante networking allows them to be integrated into bigger systems with Yamaha’s R-series i/o units and CL series consoles. Up to eight R-series units can be simultaneously controlled by a QL console, offering as many as 256 input sources. A brand new Port-to-Port
facility gives CL series consoles access to the onboard connections of QL consoles, allowing them to
be used as external i/o. This allows precisely scalable audio solutions to be created.
AND ALSO: Yamaha is also launching a QL version of the StageMix iPad remote control app and a fully fledged online/offline editor for Windows and Mac, QL Editor.
