.
Things to check before starting:
Mixer firmware version
– View current version on the
Home
screen. Go to
www.allen-heath/key-series/qu-series
to check
you are running the latest version. Download and update
using the
Setup / Utility / Firmware
screen if you are not.
Qu-Pad and Qu-You app versions
– The app versions must
be the same as the 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.
Network and Wi-Fi settings
– Plug a router (wireless access
point) into the Qu Network port. Check that
DHCP is enabled
in the
Setup / Control / Network
screen. Check that your
router has a password set. The Qu wireless network should be
independent of any other Wi-Fi or Internet access in the
building.
Current User

User Profiles
. Admin
user has access to everything and is
typical for the mixer owner or senior engineer.
Standard
and
Basic
users have restricted access as set by Admin.

Setting a known starting point:
To completely reset the mixer
you can perform a power up
System Hard Reset
. Only do this if absolutely necessary. This
clears all the memories (Scenes, User Libraries and User
Profiles) and resets all settings to factory default.
To zero the board
as a start for setting up a new session or
event you could use the
Reset Mix Settings
function on the
Scenes
page. This is a special Scene that resets all current
mix parameters to factory default. It does not affect the
memories and system settings and preferences. Touch and
hold for 2 seconds and then confirm.
To set your preferred starting point
you could recall a
Scene
you previously stored.
