50
zu den "limitierten 500 QFOs" gabs ein kommentar von yogafrog im ses forum:
It's the same scenario as in 1996 when we gave the world the 05, 06, 07pro series and beginning to gaining ground with awareness. 05pro was extremely expensive and untested.
As for the QFO we wouldn't release a new design unless we totally believed wholeheartedly in it. The QFO is the best portable turntable/mixer console ever.
Vestax is again extremely scared , can't blame them, they are run very very "corporate" like, and we're always the renegades inside that always must try to persuade their fears.
They don't believe it will sell a great amount, so they hold back. This was the same for the 05pro..
Did you all know they thought they were only going to sell
50 pieces of the 05pro. Yep, just 50. Wanna know how many 05pros have sold? It's in the hundreds of thousands.
And imagine the copycat other manufacturers and mixers that have taken the same design and how much those have sold.
So, full circle, Japanese are scared , Thud Rumble has to make them brave. What's new.
They try weird ol designs that we are NOT a part of and believe those will sell tons, but never do.
I guess they still can't figure out what we keep doing right that they can't seem to hit right.
Here's the real numbers for the release of the QFO.. it's not 500 , it's much less , in the first run there will be 50 hand made pieces. I'll update on prices later.
We are trying our best to keep these prices down, but that's Vestax's role in budgeting their tooling and expenses on the production, not ours. I wish they would be competitive in price and availability, but these are new developments and we'll be waiting to see how it goes.
Let me know what other questions everyone may have...
ATOM and Warlord are next...
