Review: Icon Pro Audio QCon Pro X Control Surface

ask.video

The iCON Pro Audio QCon Pro X impresses with its robust build and excellent feature set, providing great value for its price. It's easy to set up, with responsive controls and no need for additional drivers. However, the plastic buttons may be a bit noisy for some, and there are some limitations with the Mackie protocol depending on your DAW. Despite minor quirks, like channel strip opening in Logic, it's a solid choice for those wanting an 'out of the box' experience at an affordable price.
