Thanks, Giga. That (a) is what I presumed. Still, I think a number of novice and intermediate users would benefit from some elaborations of the various presets coming from the A&H designers.

[BarryjamParticipant]

For tap tempo, I would want a quiet, easily engaged switch.

For ALL or everything but MP3 muting, I would want a latch.

For mute effects (brief announcements), I might prefer momentary. I always forget to turn effects back on! For longer announcements, I would use QU-Pad and not a switch.

0nly tangentially related, but Here’s a curious discovery about linking mono channels. Even if one does NOT link the faders, the faders are linked in the mono mixes (1-4). That might seem right to many of you, but it prevents me from linking stereo keyboards and sending left to wedge one and right to wedge two. (I’m using qu-sb so my one local stereo input is dedicated to MP3 player).

MartinW,

Did you get the Wi Audiolink Pro?

If yes, opinion?

[BarryjamParticipant]

Tomheuze,

Did the Edimax GS-1008P work correctly for you?

[BarryjamParticipant]

Sorry for asking this in two threads. Can you close the SKB front lid with the cables left plugged in?

[BarryjamParticipant]

I have two SKB racks like this in my garage, except they are not shallow. For me the question is whether I can leave cables plugged in to the front of the mixer during transport? Is there enough clearance between QU-sb and the inside edge of the front lid? I will receive my QU-sb tomorrow and report back on what I find. If it doesn’t fit, I may resort to right-angle cables.

[BarryjamParticipant]

Thanks, JohnK. That is how I’m leaning now.

[BarryjamParticipant]

Yes, I would have the local outputs if the mixer is left on stage. That’s the kind of brain nudge I needed this morning. DUH on me!

Still, I’m looking for max flexibility if our sound guy (who mixes from FOH position) can’t/won’t mix from IPad because he thinks he needs months of “wasted learning of an entirely new system” (I know, IMHO its more like a day of practice at a rehearsal). Or WI-FI doesn’t work for some strange reason on the qu-sb, and we are forced to use the QU-16 FOH and qu-sb (unedited settings) as a sub-mixer in the emergency.

Excellent help, thanks. If the ar-2412 had the look and form factor of the Ab-168, it would be an easier decision. But maybe this will come down to “pay more once, but only cry once.” Or I purchase sequentially, as I get more experience and work through the band politics.

[BarryjamParticipant]

The 168 would be enough inputs if the qu mixer is left on stage and FOH mixes with IPad.

Thanks so much for your help!

[BarryjamParticipant]

Thank you, Andreas. Yes, I’m also considering Me-1 for additional outputs. 12-piece horn band with 5 vocalists. Other details get into the usual band resistance to change, so, from experience, maximum flexibility is more important than monetary cost.

[BarryjamParticipant]

Alternatively, can a dsnake input on stagebox be reprogrammed as an output?

[BarryjamParticipant]

Thanks, Rob

[BarryjamParticipant]

OK, now I’m confused by a photo vs. a drawing in the manual.

The photo of the QU-sb in a rack looks like the mixer is flush with the rack AT THE BOTTOM, so that the top of the mixer is slanted inward creating greater room for connected cables with the rack lid on.

The drawing looks like the the mixer is flush with the rack at the TOP of the rack, so that the bottom of the mixer is slanted outward and extends into the lid portion of the rack, creating less room for connected cables with the rack lid on.

Which is it?

[BarryjamParticipant]

Thanks, Giga. I guess I want a rack that would also contain the wireless mic transmitters and a power amp for monitors and a power strip all left permanently wired (no connecting or disconnecting for gigs or transport.
