– Play bass.
– Mix band.
– Sound good.

You get only 2…

The manual is telling you that IDENTICAL signals being combined cannot be of reversed POLARITY from each other, or there will be cancellation. Phase, in this situation, is a special case of time alignment, which is referring to signals that are coherent (the same “phase”) or 180 degrees apart. Any discrete phase adjustment (other than reversing polarity) is beyond the scope of the ART.

If you are concerned about phase interaction due to combining signals with different latencies (“comb filtering”), that is something beyond the control of the desk or the ART. It’s not complex, basically a non-issue.

Nicola, et al., my bad – for some reason I have always thought the trim was with the EQ section. So, as they say, “never mind”…

Nice post, thoughtful and helpful. Kudos.

There are 8 global pick points for direct out on the inputs, the earliest is post preamp and pre everything else. You can use the trims, which are located with the PEQ of the channel without disturbing the Aviom signal. Find this under “Preferences”.

Nicola, and all the fine folks at A&H –

Thanks for all your hard work and perseverance during this challenge. Now we can get back to listening to the QU owners whining about their entry level desks not having every feature under the sun, whether or not even invented yet. And thanks for the constant upgrades in performance and usability for all of your live mixing products, that we get for free.

Exactly what are you trying to accomplish?

Hey, Tim –

Not sure what you are wanting to hear… are you performing or mixing (or both)? Are you looking for a personal foldback mix then foh mix? I’ve done something similar mixing wirelessly and using a wireless iem plugged into the headphone jack to listen to monitor mixes, etc. while out among the punters…

Cheers,

My solution to this ongoing situation is to think of the mix per PERFORMER, not mix bus number or stage position. Unless you need a library of dozens of mixes for large numbers of rotating band members, name the mixes and change the wedge position to follow the performer. You won’t necessarily see mixes 1-4 reading from left to right, but you will label the mix channels with the performers name, and mix #1, for instance, will always be Jordy no matter where the wedge is on stage.

Cheers,

Over a span of 8 years using 3 different cheap APC units (500, 550va), I have had no issues, they have always regularly passed the UPS “test” (pull the plug on the UPS with the system running) and have been dead quiet. I opine you had a bad UPS, and suggesting from a single experience these units all produce a buzz is unwarranted. Certainly any unit bought new that is defective should be returned, any unit bought used can be risky.

-Tim T

APC 550 VA units work fine. Price new – $60-$70 US. The idea is to avoid temporary program/recording interruption and the agony of a reboot… Voltage regulation, surge protection, clean power, it’s cheap insurance.

-Tim T

[DetonatorParticipant]

Here’s how to tell if you need a UPS for your digital mixer:

The next high profile gig you have with an important speech, or ANY gig that you feel is important, choose a critical time and turn the power switch on your desk to “off” for a few seconds, then turn it back on. If the results of this are OK with you, then you don’t need a UPS.

You might try a screen touch calibration. Go to “utilities” and the calibration link is there.

Use the physical splitters pictured in the post by dpdan. It’s the best way to get completely separate channels with no interaction problems with the gains. I split channels digitally for 8 years on my desks and two years ago decided to go back to using “Y” splitters on the “money” channels (singers, some solo instruments, etc.), and life is much better.
