I just want the option to have a matrix for breakout rooms and satellite speakers.
I also need this.
I have two sets of PA speakers, which I want connected to the CQ18 directly and with mirrored Main. As they are different, the EQ on output is most welcome.
A third set of speakers would be connected as booth monitor, which in most cases is also from my Main, not a submix.
I really need to be able to set the source to Main for each of the Out 1-6. Composing through the output routing with Post fader option is not good for me, because Iām playing with different number of musicians each time and need different channels open/closed. I need a quick way to just mirror the Main to other outputs (be it stereo in stereo link output or mono, which should sum Main LR to 1 mono channel).

To achieve this, you would simply need to set each of these outputs to āPost Compā and āPost Faderā, and set all input faders (donāt forget the FX returns) in this mix to 0 dB.
If you need stereo, you would need to link two outputs and adjust the input pans as needed.
This addition wasnāt visible when I first replied.
But in these cases, itās exactly the same.
If you donāt need a musicianās channel and close or mute it in the Main LR, it will also be closed or muted in the other out mixes.
Thanks!
Itās not ideal, but could be a solution until thereās a proper simple setting āSource = Main L/Rā
Is the Processing, AMM & FX routing also identical with the Post Fader approach?
Processing yes - but AMM not (see yellow in the image).
FX should work as well, since sends and returns are āhard-wiredā Post Faders (red).
Itās important that all Input-send-to-aux-faders - including those of the FX-returns-to aux - are set to 0 dB.
Although A&H has pointed out several times that no additional mixes are possible in the CQ, in your case, the same mix would simply be routed to different outputs - like in a matrix, which was the original purpose of this topic.
Thanks!
while this setup gets a bit complex, it will probably work OK in most scenarios.
A simple option to select the mode of the āOutā TRS jacks as either AUX bus or Main L/R as source will be a much simpler and straight-forward approach for those of us seeking to clone the Main L/R to more outputs on the mixer.
I realy wish A&H will implement it in a future firmware update.
Many thanks for your input & insight @SQuser!
Thank you for your kind reply!
I agree with you, and for some user, it would be a solution that normally requires a matrix, which possibly (!!!) isnāt feasible.
If I had a CQ, I would wish it too.
