Connect the iPad 

The Qu-SB mixer is controlled using an iPad running the Allen & Heath Qu-Pad app. Choose and set up a 

wireless router as described previously. Settings are stored in the mixer. Audio will continue to run even if 

the iPad is disconnected. 

Connect  the  Wi-Fi  router

  –  Position  and  power  up  your  router. 

Connect one of its LAN ports to the mixer Network port using a Cat5 

cable. The yellow Network Lnk indicator will flash once the link is 

established. 

Connect the iPad to the Qu network

 – Go to the iPad 

Settings / 

Wi-Fi

 screen and choose your router in the NETWORK list. If it is 

not in the list give it a few minutes for its broadcast to establish. 

Check that the iPad shows good signal strength. 

Start the Qu-Pad app

 – The app opens on the Connection page. 

Choose your Qu mixer in the list and touch ‘Connect’. Enter the Qu 
Admin  password  if  one  has  been  set.  The  app  will  start  in  the 

Processing

 page once logged in. 

 The app version must be the same as the Qu mixer firmware 

version. If not, the app will not connect to the mixer.

Connection problems? 

Qu mixer not shown in Qu-Pad login list

 – The mixer and router 

may have incompatible network addresses. Try a Network reset by 

pressing and holding the mixer recessed switch. 

Connection Failed - Connection Error

 – If you attempt to connect 

more than the maximum of 8x devices then you will get an error 

message. 

Connection  Failed  -  Version  Error

  –  If  this  message  appears 

during  Qu-Pad  login  then  the  app  and  mixer  firmware  are  not 

compatible. 

 The app version must be the same as the Qu mixer firmware 

version. If not, the app will not connect to the mixer. The Apple Store 

will always have the latest version available for free download. We 

recommend you turn off your iOS device Auto Update function to 

prevent the app being updated before you have had a chance to 

update  the  mixer  firmware.  Check 

www.allen-heath.com

  to 

download the latest Qu firmware. 

Updating  Qu-SB  firmware

  –  You  can  use  a  USB  key  and  the 

recessed  Firmware  Update  switch  to  carry  out  the  update  at  the 

mixer. Refer to the instructions later in this guide or on the web site. 

Good Wi-Fi signal but poor connection

 – This may be caused by 

Wi-Fi  interference.  Try  repositioning  or  rebooting  the  wireless 

router.
