We are going to purchase an Qu-7 in the next few weeks, in preparation for an April show. I am planning the setup for the room. I use two sets of two monitors each. I would like to route one mix to each set of monitors, so that each monitor receives the same output. Is this possible? Or would I have to setup two identical mixes and control them with a DCA?
I’m not entirely clear on what your goal is, probably due to my poor English.
But if I understand correctly, you’re using a total of four monitor speakers connected to two power amps and want them all to receive the same signal.
In that case, you would simply need to patch your aux mix to two output jacks and then connect those to the two amps.
Welcome to the forum.
I have the smaller Qu-5, even so they’re basically the same in routing. I’m not 100% certain, but it seems that you can output a mix to multiple outs.
And yes DCA is an option I’d think.
A possible alternate is treat the overall mix as if it’s stereo, setting the Mix as such (referencing page 24 of manual), giving a L & R out, but for your purpose it’s IEM 1 and 2. It may not work right if this gets a stereo panned sources but you’re trying to go equal out on these 2.
If you mean “can I send Mix(Aux) x to several outputs”? the answer is Yes. The process is described in section 8.2 of the user manual:
“Any of the Qu’s available output sockets can be sourced from any Qu XCVI core output, including Mix Outputs, FX Returns and Input Direct Outputs. Each output socket can only be fed by a single source, but any source (XCVI core output) can be patched to multiple output sockets.”
*The Mix(Aux) are XCVI outputs.
