Any else tried this? Our engineer brought it along for us to have a play with at a gig last night. I was able to control my IEM mix from my iphone between tracks, was pretty simple and quite cool. We'll probably stick with it and see how it goes. I am guessing it has far more potential than I currently think. Anyone else used it and got any tips?

Never used the ipad / phone / wireless aspect of these things but I've mixed a number of shows on Qu-24 and 32 models.. I haven't really any tips and I don't know what setup you were using previously but those A&H desks offer an excellent array of facilties so best I can say is get stuck in..

Have a look about two thirds of the way down, these are my thoughts after a show on the 32. Hope that helps

Looking at it, looks like the same as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.behringer.android.control.app.x32q&hl=en_GB for Allen and Heath?

I love the idea of personal mixes - one of the MD's who does theatre work round here uses a set of behringer personal monitors (see: http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Signal-Processors/In-Ear-Monitor-Systems/P16-M/p/P0421 ) and it makes theatre pit playing an absolute joy.

That's pretty much it.
And the equivalent hardware unit for A&H is the ME1.

Thanks all, seems definitely worth pursuing. Was nice not to have to worry about catching the sound guy's eye and just being able to adjust myself. I only had the bass and my BV to play with this time but I'll put the whole mix on next time.

The painful reminder that technology has moved on and left me behind....it all sounds fantastic, I understand IEM's and even own an IPhone but putting the technology together scares me.

From your IPhone can you alter the mix for the other members of the band and just give them loads of lovely bass guitar? Could a member of the audience with the right app totally trash your monitor mix and even replace it with a One Direction song playing in your ears?

You can do pretty much what you want, it amazed me to be honest. But you can lock everything down and just give each member what's useful to them. The audience can't interfere as you need to be on the wifi from the iPad controlling the master mix and it's all password protected.

I've been using it on gigs over the summer, its been great. Also use the Mackie version which is quite good. I have iPad with dots on a mic stand mount, IEM amp mounted on the top of my mic stand and then iPhone resting on top of that. Works a treat.

I use a Qu 32 and it is proper lush. The only thing I miss about the Mackie DL1608 we had before is that the Mackie would let up to 10 iPads/iPods/iPhones control it so that there could be several of these on stage for individual monitor mixes. The Qu will only let me use 1 device. Is this it or am I missing something?
