This  section  provides  a  quick  guide  to  get  you  started  setting  up  and  mixing  with  Qu.  For  more 

information please refer to other sections in this guide and to the Qu Mixer Reference Guide available for

9.1

 

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,  Qu-Control  and  Qu-You  app  versions  –  The  app 

versions 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. 

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  network  should  be 

independent of any other Wi-Fi in the building. 

Current User – View this on the 

Home

 screen. Qu has three 

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. 

Passwords can be set. 

Calibration – You can recalibrate the motor faders and touch 

screen  accuracy  using  the 

Setup  /  Utility  /  Calibration

 

screen. 

Dimmer  –  To  adjust  the  brightness  of  the  touch  screen  and 

key  illumination  press  and  hold  the  Setup  key  and  turn  the 

rotary control. Qu powers up with maximum brightness. 

 

9.2

 

Set 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, User Profiles 

and passwords) and resets all settings to factory default. 

To zero the board as a start for setting up a new  session or 

event  you  can  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.  

This reset is not affected by the Global Scene Filter or channel 

Safes.  It  also  resets  the  Global  Filter  and  clears  the  Safes. 

Touch  and  hold  the  Reset  Mix  Settings  button  for  2  seconds 

and then confirm. 

To  set  your  preferred  starting  point  you  could  set  up  and 

store your own template 

Scene

 and keep this on USB key as a 

backup to load into this and other Qu mixers you may use.
