Several widgets can be assigned to the page, these include channel levels, mutes, and assignment on/off switches and are arranged to suit the user’s requirement.
AnalogiQ Preamps The AnalogiQ total recall preamps feature zero crossing detection and an advanced padless 1dB step gain stage closely aligned to the DSP for optimal gain accuracy and audio transparency. The analog signal is captured by high-class low latency 24bit analog to digital converters matched to high-quality 24bit digital to analog converters to deliver the required outputs. The AnalogiQ design has been refined to offer excellent transparency, minimal distortion, and an ultra-low noise floor with a warm musical sound that is missing from some digital consoles.
USB Audio Streaming Qu’s built-in interface streams multi-track audio to your Mac or PC via a flexible patching system; all input channels and the Main LR can be recorded at the same time or you may choose to record something different such as FX returns or a pair of mixes. The return channels from the computer can be assigned to the input channels. The interface is class-compliant on Mac OS X – and drivers are available for Windows systems. Either way, it will be recognized straightaway by any DAW supporting ASIO or Core Audio, including Logic, Cubase, Reaper, and Pro Tools.
Qu-Drive Forget soundcard drivers and software setup. Qu has an integrated multitrack USB recorder providing 18 channels of 48kHz 24bit recording and playback straight to/from your USB hard drive. Mixes and FX returns can be recorded alongside channels and multitrack audio can be played back to the mixer for virtual sound-checks. An independent set of controls is provided for quick stereo recording of the main LR or other mix outputs and a 2-track USB return can be routed to ST3 for playback of stereo WAV files such as walk-in music.
Channel Ducker An advanced yet easy to use Ducker is available on every channel. It can be inserted on the fly on any number of inputs and stereo groups, providing auto signal attenuation and then gently restoring the level to aid the operator in endless applications; reduce the level of background music when a single microphone or mic mix is in use, for example, during live announcements or giving microphone priority over others. Setup is a breeze with the option to share Ducker settings across multiple channels when in Gang mode.
Armed To The Hilt Qu mixers are equipped with 5 cores of high-efficiency ARM core processing with dedicated ARM cores running the touchscreen display and surface USB streaming, Qu-Drive multi-channel USB recording/playback, and Ethernet. Between them, the ARM cores provide state-of-the-art processing, working in parallel to deliver extensive control, instant-on operation, and lightning-fast response. The mixer’s DSP farm exploits next-generation dual-core DSPs. With plenty of DSP power under the hood, the channel processing is only using a fraction of capacity so Qu is future-proofed with ample room for updates and extra functionality. The DSP architecture employs varied bit depths tailored to specific algorithms, with 48 bits on critical EQ functions and a 56 bit accumulator on the mix bus where it really counts, allowing every nuance of the audio to be captured in the final mix.
