The Que-18s have been part of the Queen production since it opened in Melbourne in August 2003, and have moved with the show as it played Perth, Brisbane and Sydney. They have now moved on to Japan where the show has opened at Tokyo's Koma Theatre. Here, the band room is split in two with half each side of the stage, and the Musical Director relies totally on the Formula Sound Que-18 units to communicate with those musicians who he cannot actually see.
The Formula Sound Que-18s were originally specified for We Will Rock You by Bobby Aitken of Bobby Aitken Sound Designs. "Nothing else matches the Que-18 either for price or performance," he states. "I've been using Formula Sound products for many years, and the Que-18 has become my standard foldback mixer of choice. Its performance on the Australian touring production of We Will Rock You over the last two years proves that this product is rugged, reliable and extremely flexible."
The QUE-18 accepts up to 18 audio inputs (14 mono and 2 stereo) and its many configuration options make it flexible enough to satisfy different foldback requirements. Full compatibility with studio mixing consoles means that the QUE-18 is perfect for any application where reliable and controllable foldback handling is necessary.
