Everything You Need for

Creative Engineering

QL series console include a virtual processing rack that lets the operator approach 
selecting and patching internal processors in a way that’s similar to working with 
external rack-mounted devices. All of the high-quality processors that received rave 
reviews in the CL series are provided in the QL series consoles as well. Top-quality 
sound-shaping tools for creative engineering are ready and accessible whenever 
they’re needed.

Premium Rack

Effect Rack

GEQ Rack

Up to eight VCM processors, including the Portico 
processors developed in cooperation with Rupert Neve 
Designs that are standards in leading recording studios 
throughout the world, can be mounted in the virtual rack 
and used to deliver the kind of performance that only 
high-end analog outboard processors have previously 
been capable of. More importantly, that studio quality and 
musical tonality are available for live sound applications.

Up to eight of the 46 available ambience effects and 8 
available insert effects can be mounted in the QL virtual 
rack. That selection includes a number of high-end Yamaha 
REV-X reverb processors for sophisticated sonic control. 
Any of the mounted effects can be individually switched to 
graphic EQ operation as required.

The GEQ rack is ideal for inserting graphic EQ into the output 
and other busses. Up to eight 31-band graphic equalizers 
can be mounted, and any of those can be switched for use 
as dual 15-band “Flex15GEQ” equalizers that can control any 
15 bands selected from the 31 bands available. With eight 
rack slots, that allows for a maximum of 16 simultaneous 
EQ processors. Dan Dugan Automixer units can be inserted 
in the input channels via the GEQ rack, providing up to 16 
channels of automix for speech applications.
