What I”m trying to say, is that to be able to use Mix5-6 Stereo physical output, the outcome cannot be 2 channels with different processing; same PEQ, same gate, same comp. Just like when you link 2 channels.

I appreciate that the EQ etc may well have to remain linked, and that’s OK – but having the combination of pan/level controlled by the board would provide an additional 3 mixes which could be useful.

It’s a case of using the board to decide what level/pan to use for each combination of “desired levels” between the two mixes.

The inverse (running as 5 stereo mixes) *should* be easy enough, and in various broadcast style scenarios is probably more useful than the mono outputs.

I suggested:
– the first press on the mix would do the “odd” mix, with the light on
– next selects the “even” mix, light flashing
– next goes back to LR as usual

It might be better to do “long flash” for odd and short flash for even…

Yes I agree.
However It is early days for the QU24 and QU32.
Maybe A&H will be able to make a sectable patch for people like myself that want more outs in monitor mode?
I don’t know.
However this is what I’ll be using for an awful amount of large bands over 4 nights next week.
Maybe I can talk the distributor here into show casing the ME1s’
Thanks for all feedback.

wow … old post?
We just used the desk as mono outs even the stereo outs as mono just using one side of each pair.
Used the left and right bus as side fills to the stage.
I still think *AS A MONITOR DESK* with given software you could use the subgroups as outputs however you cant in its present form as these are relative to the L/R bus, and don’t move as sub-group faders.
I doubt very much this would be implemented.
Its a minority in the grand scheme of marketing with the new dLive arriving soon.
They want you to buy some ME1’s 🙂

Of course if you are looking at this from the FOH perspective, you do have the matrix’s as sends?
However I found using matrix’s live, was slow to get into those tabs to adjust. (too many clicks!) Thats on the desk.. maybe the iPad would have been better?
Maybe an assignable soft key function would be good there?

The QU32 is a great desk!
However it is what it is at that price point.

anyhow
food for thought.

I know this is old, but does anyone know if this is an actual DSP limitation? Can’t A&H add this functionality via a future firmware update?

Would this work?
Assign whichever channels to Grp 1&2 creating a mix. Pan Grp 1&2 hard Left and assign to Mix 5&6. This effectively gets sent mono out of the left side of Mix 5&6.

Create another mix using Grp 3&4 and pan hard Right. Assign to Mix 5&6 and this will be sent out of Mix 6 (the right side of Mix 5&6)

Essentially,
Grp 1&2>Mix 5
Grp 3&4>Mix 6
Grp 5&6>Mix 7
Grp 7&8>Mix 8
Matrix 1&2>Mix 9
Matrix 3&4>Mix 10

I’m going to try this later today unless someone first explains why this wouldn’t work…cheers!
