jesse g Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I was called by a fiend who said he had a surprise for me, so I showed up at his house a few hours later. He had just purchased an Icon Pro Audio Qcon Pro G2 Control Surface for $699.00. This control surface is sweet!!! After testing if for a few minutes, I said to myself, I have to get one of those. I think it's time to get rid of the Mackie Control Surface. See the attached video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse g Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 I was looking at this unit too as my next major purchase. My Mackie Control Unit is is having a master fader problem where the fader goes to the top of the channel and gets stuck there. Also, the red lights for the numbers are fading.

dahjah Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 been watching vids on it and this one gives me a little concern. His unboxing and review was great, he loved everything about it, the next vid he found that (with studio 1) that the pan knob values didn't show on the unit until you pressed flip, and the 3rd vid I saw from him was nothing but problems, hopefully it's only his unit.

dahjah Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 same guy also wrote this after it returned from repair. Quote When I was deciding to purchase a DAW controller I was trying to choose between the qcon g2 and the xtouch. I chose the qcon because of appearance and expand ability. Sure you can daisy chain the xtouch but it does not look as good. I did not get the Pro X because I did not have the extra funds at the time. The only major difference between the G2 and X is the meter bridge that I can tell. Since I’ve gotten mine back from repair I have not had any problems. I am even planning on expanding my setup. I did some research on the problem that i had and it seemed to be rare. Many people have purchased this unit and are having 0 problems, so I think mine was just a fluke. I find it difficult to track & mix without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I stated earlier Pollux, my MCU faders are getting stuck and my lights are having problems. What I have is the original MCU, not the MCU Pro. The cost of the Pro is 1,299.99. The Cost of the Icon QCon Pro G2 Control Surface is only $749.99 and still can be found for $699.99 in some stores. If it's a clone, then it will do the same thing for a lot less money. That's what's better!! Edited September 22, 2021 by jesse g 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahjah Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I just ordered the Qcon G2 with an extender as well, can't wait to get into it and retire the vs 700 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
