AudioRacks are connected.
USB status – A USB symbol appears when a compatible USB key or
drive is plugged into the Qu-Drive port and is recognised by the mixer.
The symbol flashes while the drive is being read. If the symbol does not
appear then the USB device may need formatting using the Qu Format
utility.
USB format error – This indicates that the USB device is not formatted
or compatible with the Qu mixer. Use the

before using it for Qu data transfer and recording.
Formatting the USB device will delete any existing data on it.

are detected during recording to a USB device.
