NOTE
• In Surround mode, you cannot use cascade output on MIX buses 1-6. In addition, if you have
selected 5.1 SOLO in CUE mode, you cannot monitor CUE from the cascade slave at the
cascade master.
• If you are making a cascade connection between the QL unit and the PM5D, you can use the QL
unit as the cascade slave by setting the PM5D’s CASCADE IN PORT SELECT to a slot. However,
only the audio signals will be cascaded, and the control signals cannot be linked.
• You can also use an AD/DA card or OMNI OUT jack to make cascade connections with an analog
mixer.
• There is no limit to the number of units that can be cascade-connected, but the signal delay at
the cascade slave will increase in accordance with the number of units from the cascade master.
Operations on a cascade slave QL unit
NOTE
• You cannot assign two or more buses to the same output port. If you select a port to which a
signal route has already been assigned, the previous assignment will be canceled.
• Control signals for the cascade link and MIDI messages cannot share the same port. If you select
a port that is already specified for transmission/reception of MIDI messages, a dialog box will ask
whether it is OK to cancel the existing settings.
