Unless you’re looking at the 168 boxes being in a remote space, there’s probably no need to go Dante – just use the standard DX units, you can still route those outputs and inputs via Dante at your DVS/via connection. As Steffen said, the switches will be important, and your distributor can advise on their best solution for your specific needs.
2019/03/02 at 8:47 am #82324@jdubya if you put a GigaACE card in the stage rack & send your IEM & broadcast consoles from that card, and the Waves card in the surface slot you’ll be good. Just make sure you set roles for each & gain track everything
2019/02/11 at 6:49 am #81889I guess you’re across gain tracking, are you using GigaACE to split? Just a matter of keeping the communication between operators open so that initial gain setting happens ‘before’ the gain tracking is switched on – no point in having half your trim range disappear at the start of line check!
If you’re on GigaACE latency shouldn’t come into it. Keep some spare quality cables as per normal ops.The implementation is awesome, it’s been such a useful component of our overall setup now, once you use it you’ll never go back to analog splits (until the next time someone brings a Profile!)!
2019/01/05 at 3:18 am #81247Best you could hope for is wirelessly via the app, but that’s obviously not a perfect solution, as Mark said you’ll only get i/o via sLink
2018/12/06 at 12:34 pm #80604@barryjam in the situation where you own your own IEM rack the norm would be that you also own and travel your own mic kit for consistency (so you basically are just plug and play), otherwise you’re resetting gains and settings every time, sort of defeats the purpose of having an IEM system.. otherwise, if you end up buying an SQ, I’d suggest you consider hiring an engineer you like and use them for all your shows, the improvements will be significant, and as you said, no need to teach someone how to use your board each time. Realistically if you’re doing events where you’re dealing with different engineers every time, they’ll most likely not be happy to use your console (especially in a situation where your act is only one part of the overall show).
I’d personally not be too happy about having someone turn up with another board if I had my system configured and tuned to a showfile on my own console for instance, it’s a lot of extra work for the house guy, and having your own engineer will make everything else easier too (leave them to negotiate all that stuff with the house guys, you can just concentrate on playing!).2018/12/05 at 3:33 am #80566If you have a look at the many Dante enabled I/O units I’m sure you’d find something to suit (AudioScience lyo 32.32?), but of course that means buying an SQ to fit the card into, at which point you’re probably better off keeping the QuSB & using the SQ as your FOH board with the QuSB as the ‘stage rack’ (no preamp control from the SQ, but in your instance you wouldn’t need it), you just plug the sLink directly into the QuSB, no option port required.
2018/11/21 at 12:05 pm #80222Don’t bother with Microsoft Surface – they break when you so much as breath on them. I’ve got one here I’m about to throw in the bin, the worst thing I’ve ever owned.
2018/11/02 at 3:59 am #79700As @markpaman said, the DX32 will work, but it’s not officially supported… a colleague who has tried it reported running it for several days on test and it eventually disconnected, he was under the impression that the errors just build up til the point where the connection becomes unstable – it’d PROBABLY be fine to run all day on a festival, but again until we get the tick from A&H it’s not a risk I’d be willing to take on a live show (I do wish they’d hurry up and say yes, as it’s a very under-utilised piece of my kit in the mean time, but perfect for what I want otherwise on smaller shows!)
2018/11/01 at 4:52 am #79667How many inputs/outputs do you actually need? AR2412+AR804 works for 32in/16 out
2018/10/21 at 1:51 am #79431@silvermake I assume you mean it’s limited to 16 as you’re using an SQ5? I think it’s a moot point if it’ll send outputs but not accept returns, so I’ll have to consider Dante for those scenarios.
2018/10/20 at 12:06 pm #79407Keith, assuming that if you can connect a Qu console to the SQ’s via dSnake, you could use the same protocol to connect to a GLD (in the case where you wanted to use sLink to connect to a console side of stage and share gain)?!?
Would only help if the GLD can ‘see’ the SQ ins and outs, as you’d have to be using the SQ analog I/O at the stage end… maybe it’s a Dante only solution?2018/10/18 at 11:25 am #79350One DEEP plug in I would absolutely pay for on the SQ’s would be the Dyn8 unit from the dLive’s – I use it everywhere in my dLive mixes, I’d definitely see the value of paying for that as a plug in (not sure how it would be implemented in the SQ architecture, given it’s an insert, but definitely something I’d love to see)!
2018/10/17 at 2:50 am #79317Sounds like a DHCP clash with your router – you need to check and make sure your addressing is as per the A&H directions, I’d say your router is affecting your console settings
2018/10/12 at 10:51 am #79194QuSB is 48kHz & Qu series pre’s, the SQ preamps are more in line with the dLive sound, and the whole system clocks at 96kHz (it runs at 48kHz when you plug it into an AR rack or Qu as the Stagebox)… so you actually throttle the console’s sound using it with the Qu’s, but the benefit of a digital split off a single cable is great… I’ve already used it with dLive as a monitor console a couple times (off the dLive it’s still 96kHz obviously) from a single cable, I love that convenience!
2018/10/12 at 4:35 am #79177One idea we floated in another facebook group was the idea of a ‘Production House’ license, a single fee to cover whatever consoles you have – this way A&H still get paid, but it’s fairer on those who’ve committed to the brand in a significant way. As is, it just isn’t realistic to expect someone to shell out on every console in their inventory (and if you do one, you’d pretty much have to do them all to maintain show file consistency)… can I suggest next time A&H rolls out something like this, they put their pricing up front so we can make informed decisions (even if they’re not rolling out on the first firmware release)?
