looks like some good stuff...(way inexpensive too; makes me suspicious)anyone else try it out at all???

It's a swedish company and so I've heard alot about them. The "more expensive" stuff seem to be really good, quite innovative. The cheap things seem to stand out quite abit from the behringer (and similar) stuff too. I'm kind of thinking about getting a QM12...

Where did you hear this?

I know this company pretty well, at least better than I guess most who live outside Sweden and I been having pretty much contact with the designer himself. Not always about their products, but on a more general level, so I maybe have gotten a clue to his preferences in audio, which I can safely say is love for the clean. I have auditioned some of their mics too.

Mic preamps are sonically very good, some claim it to sound as good as Focusrite Octopre class or something like that. They lack the extras though, and the 8-channel doesn't have phase flip and lowcut for instance. It's great sound in a box. No more, no less. I personally think that the 8 channel unit would be a better semipro buy if the out jacks was on TRS/XLR combo jacks. YMMW.
