Figure 1-4: GPIO Connector Pin-Outs
In most cases, a GPIO port will be associated with
a single source such as a CD player, studio microphone,
profanity delay, et cetera .
Optional PathfinderPC software may also be used to
monitor and control GPIO for advanced applications.
The interconnections to GPIO ports will vary de-
pending on the type external equipment being used and
whether or not voltage is supplied by an external device.
Chapter 5: Configuring GPIO provides these details.
Ethernet Connections
The QOR has three types of Ethernet connections
and it is important to use them as intended since the in-
ternal Ethernet switch is configured in a specific manner.
The types of connectors available are:
• 100 Mbps PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) ports designed
to be used with future Livewire accessories that will
obtain their power directly from their Ethernet con-
nections. These ports may also be safely used with
standard, non-PoE devices.
• 100 Mbps Ethernet standard ports are used to con-
nect PCs or other Livewire devices to your Livewire
network. These devices might include additional
Livewire nodes or PCs running the Axia IP-Audio
driver.
• Two 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) ports are used for connec-
tions to other QOR units, or, in larger networks, for
connections to an Ethernet Core switch. Note that
these two ports are used as trunks and are not intend-
ed for connection to Livewire source devices such as
Audio Nodes.
RAQ/DESQ CANBus Connections
RAQ/DESQ frames need only a single data / power
connection to operate. The QOR includes the needed
power/CANBus connections for use in conjunction with
your control surfaces. The accessory CANBus port is an
additional port that is available for future use.
Important: Like any electronic device, RAQ/
DESQ can be affected by static electricity. Use
of a personal grounding device is strongly rec-
ommended while handling the unit during instal-
lation.
Your RAQ/DESQ surfaces must be connected to a
grounded metal permanent wiring system or other equip-
ment grounding conductor using the grounding lug lo-
cated on the console chassis. For ground sources, we
recommend, in order of preference:
• “Station Ground,” the heavy copper strap found in the
walls and floors of many radio studios.
• AC Safety Ground — the “3rd prong” of a nearby
outlet.
• A bonded electrical conduit.
#12 AWG GREEN stranded wire is the minimum
wire gauge acceptable for grounding the mixer.
Important: Grounding reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock by providing a “path of least resis-
tance” for electric current. Improper grounding
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt about how to properly ground this equip-
ment. If your local electrical code prohibits the
use of a Station Ground for this purpose, as de-
scribed above, use the specific “Safety Ground”
your local regulations mandate.

There is one 6-pin Molex connector that is used to
provide DC power (48 vdc) plus CANBus data to your
control surfaces.
The RAQ and DESQ surfaces must be connected to a
CanBus port on the QOR using only the supplied 6-con-
ductor cables. One end of the CANBus cable is fitted
with a strain relief. Connect this end to the Molex con-
nector on the back of the QOR. Connect the other, small-
er connector to the Molex socket on the control surface.
