Qu-Pac

Getting Started Guide

AP9815 iss2

2TRK output

- Dedicated stereo recording jack output that follows the

main LR mix. It is post-fader and therefore affected by the LR master fader.

AES output

- 2-Channel AES (Audio Engineering Society) digital audio

standard output for connection using an XLR cable to equipment fitted with an AES

input. Use the

Setup / Output Patch / Surface

screen to patch outputs to the AES

socket.

USB B port

- USB type B socket for 32 channel, bi-directional audio

streaming and MIDI control between the mixer and a computer running DAW (digital

audio workstation) software. Use the

Setup / Output Patch / USB Audio

screen to

patch mixer signals. Qu-Drive and USB B streaming share the same patch.

It is typical to set the channel source to

Insert Sends

(pre-processing) for live

recording, or

Direct Outs

(set post) for DAW recording.

Refer to the Allen & Heath web site for information on Windows

and Apple

Mac

drivers available for Qu.

dSNAKE port

- Proprietary Allen & Heath ‘digital snake’ single Cat5 cable

connection for remote audio using optional AR2412, AR84 or AB168 AudioRacks,

and for personal monitoring using ME-1 personal monitor mixers.

Note

Qu-Pac has the same connectors as the Qu-16 mixer but the processing

engine of the Qu-32. Use dSNAKE to access the additional 17-32 inputs and

dedicated Group and Matrix outputs.

Use the

Setup / Output Patch / dSNAKE

screen to patch mixer outputs to the

AudioRack sockets. Use the

Setup / Output Patch / Monitor

screen to patch

channels to the ME monitor system. It is typical to set the global

Direct Out

option to

pre-fade, post-mute, post-processing for these monitor sends.

Network port

- For connection to a wireless router (access point) for live

mix control using iOS devices running Allen & Heath Qu apps. You can use one iPad

running Qu-Pad (engineer’s mix control), and up to 7 iPhones, iPad or iPod Touch

devices running Qu-You (musicians personal monitor control).

Lamp

- 4-Pin socket to plug a standard 12V, 5W or lower power gooseneck

lamp to illuminate the connector panel or working space around the mixer. We

recommend the Allen & Heath LEDLamp with built-in thumbwheel dimmer.

Power On/Off switch

- Press to switch the mixer on. Press again to

switch it off.

AC Mains input

- IEC socket to plug in a mains lead with moulded plug

suitable for your territory. A suitable mains lead is shipped with the mixer.

Note

– Do not replace the mains plug or modify the lead in any way. Do not remove

or defeat the ground connection.

Cable clamp

- A plastic P-clip cable clamp is provided to secure the

mains cable. Slot the cable in or lock it in place using a star head Torx T20

screwdriver to refit the clamp around the cable.

Fuse

- Mains input fuse to protect the mixer circuits in the unlikely event of

a failure or excessive power surge. Always replace with the same type and rating as

printed on the rear panel.

Kensington lock

- A slot for fitting a standard Kensington anti-theft

security device.
