QCon Pro G2 : Unbeatable

I was advised not to buy Icon products and had really bad experiences from other users (noisy and faulty faders, faulty units, and others).

After spending a long time looking for the "perfect" DAW controller, i was hesitating between SSL UF8 and Mackie MCU. However the UF8 doesn't have any transport section which i needed, and its design is pretty good but not the best. Mackie, on the other hand, has an old design but all the needed transport section, but the LCD screen are famous for going off after 1 or 2 years of use (knowing that i'm working 10 to 14 hours a day in the studio, i couldn't afford that).

I finally went for the Qcon Pro G2, being the only product matching my needs (design + transport section) and estimated that i had nothing to lose trying it even if i expected it to have defaults or issues.

I received it days ago and configured it properly as instructed (faders calibrations, firmware update), and it works perfectly, i never expected that kind of quality for the price : the overall product is really well built and solid, faders are handy and quiet, buttons are also good. The only con would be the plastic panning knobs however it's still not a cheap quality so for that price it's clearly unbeatable and i think that it overcomes its more expansive concurrents.

Result : i ordered an extension unit (EX G2) 2 days after.

Now let's see if these products can stand years without issues, running atleast 10 hours a day but it feel very strong and makes the user confident.
