Qu-24 + AR2412

Qu Qu General Discussions

Hey Nicola,

I am happy to announce that the Qu24 I used for my circus season has performed flawlessly for almost one hundred shows. I am still wishing for some improvements in the scene-department, but the main thing is that the console sounds great and is fast to get around on. Haven’t even touched the Superstrip, because the touchscreen-knob is all I need.
I am thinking of buying the AR24 next, and I have one question:
Can I use the console’s outputs while using the rack on stage for inputs?

Happy New Year!

Yes! You can choose between local and Stagebox Outputs! Same for the inputs! Either local or stagebox (choosable per channel!)

3

for the outputs, you do not have to choose one or the other,
you can use the console outputs and AR2412 outputs simultaneously.

It’s also worth mentioning that while the physical outputs on the QU are fixed to their relevant mixes/groups etc, the outputs on the ARs can be configured on a socket-by-socket basis for any mix, mains (stereo or mono sum,) group, mtx or pafl.

Hey Dan,

Did I get this right? You can use all outputs on both the remote rack and the console simultaneously? 24 outputs? That would be wonderful! Has anyone tried this?

Well, I’ve not used literally all 24 at once, but I have used some from the desk and some from the AR, including mix 9/10 from both at the same time.

That is great- I am going to get the rack, and don´t have to moan about not being able to split stereo outputs. The fact that same outputs work from both the console and remote is very promising…

24 physical outputs, you don’t get to double up on mixes…

Obviously not. But nevertheless, it could sometimes be useful to run a snake to some speakers from the console position, rather than stage. You can put a delay-box in between.
