In a way, your installation is similar to ours – a wall on the left very near the mixer. We used the long coiled cord for our headphones to go around the back of the mixer to a large hook installed on the wall where the headphones can hang. If your phones have a cord too short, just get a stereo extension cord.
If you search Amazon for a headphones support you will find several options, one of which may work for you. I saw a couple of devices that clip to the tabletop, for example.
Here is one example: Table top clip

There are many factors at play in a situation like this. That’s why I recommend you spend some time reviewing the resources I sent. It won’t be a waste of time.
If that will take too long, you should press the installer to help you work the issue.

I looked into specifics regarding the JK044 lavalier. I was unable to find information that jibed with your description of its performance. Most reviews of it were fairly positive.
In order to address your problem, a discussion more extensive than is typical on a forum like this is required, so I prepared a PDF for this purpose. It is attached, and hopefully will meet the file size restrictions imposed here.
Let me know if you need additional information or have specific questions.

I’d like to make some suggestions, but it would be helpful to me and others if you could tell us which mic is connected to the transmitter.
2022/05/26 at 9:13 pm #107315The QU does have a rather nasty power on/off thump. I don’t think it matters whether you uses the screen shutdown option, as this is only for QU memory. It is important that you turr on the power amps that drive the speakers AFTER the QU has booted, and that you turn off the amps BEFORE you turn off the QU. We use a 3=step power sequencer to ensure this sequence is followed. Highly recommended.
2021/08/02 at 9:13 pm #102684To follow up on my previous comments…
The QU series is an excellent way to move from analog to digital, and the quality of these mixers is excellent. That is why I recommended we upgrade to a QU32 when we did our last upgrade a few years ago. I was able to configure a Custom layer so that our operators can use the mixer much as they did with the older analog mixer. The QU32 has served us well.
The mixer is able to record to USB sticks and read from them, but the operation is rather “clunky” and error prone.
The remote app only works on Apple and Android operating systems. Although there is a driver for windows PCs, this must be used with a DAW, and does not support full operation of the mixer. Be sure you evaluate this mixer carefully to determine if it meets your needs.
I might also add that the QU series has been out for several years and has seen no updates in firmware for quite some time. The SQ series is newer and probably has some improvements in operating capability over the QU series.
2021/08/01 at 12:05 am #102650Personally, I would not recommend A&H mixers for you. The main reason is that their interfaces are aimed primarily at Apple products, with limited support for Microsoft Windows. I think you would be better served by QSC, Behringer, or Presonus digital mixers. For simplicity, a Presonus analog hybrid mixer might work for you, but recognize its limitations.
2021/06/11 at 1:10 am #101838Les: Just FYI – the easiest way to find the answer to questions like this is to look at the flow diagram. There are two such diagrams in the manual. One is near the front, and the other, somewhat more detailed version, is toward the end (p. 88 of the version 10 manual). The latter has a more detailed view of the Input connections. See the attachment. There it shows that the Line and Mic inputs are connected together, and the only controls are Gain and 48-Volt switch. The textural information is at Section 4.1 of the manual.

2021/03/05 at 9:24 pm #99571Sounds good, but the Button link to free training on the web site does not work!
2021/02/08 at 11:26 pm #98723MarkD30: Can you explain to us why you feel that Cubase can not do what you want to do? I don’t use Cubase and so am not aware of its possible limitations. Search the internet for Cubase Overdubbing, and you’ll find several tutorials on this. It this what you want to do? If you try to go to tape first, you will end up with lots of hiss and other noise.
2021/02/08 at 11:14 pm #98721I looked at these some time ago, and I recall that the Dayton Audio EMM-6 precision electret condenser microphone was very good and one of the least expensive. You should be able to get it for less than $60 at Dayton Audio, Parts Express, or Amazon. I don’t believe that you need a real expensive mic for what you are doing.
2021/02/06 at 9:05 pm #98651It seems to me that you don’t need all the 24 channels from the QU to your tape machine. The QU has 10 analog outputs that should work for you. You can get two more outputs by using an AR2412 and the dSnake output, but this is an expensive solution. I suspect that you can accomplish what you want to do in your DAW.
The digital domain is so much cleaner than tape that I find it hard to believe that you want to do this. Just learn all the capabilities of your DAW.
2020/09/14 at 10:28 pm #94926I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than I on this topic would respond regarding the use of KVM technology, but none have so far, so I’ll add my two-cents worth.
This technology has been used for decades for remote operation of computers, and I feel it should work here. However, because the technology has so many applications and vendors, it may be difficult to find the most cost-effective solution.

is one possible source of information and options. Here is a link to an example vendor’s option for a modest system:
- https://42u.com/pdf/Manual_Adder-INFINITY_INFINITY-DUAL_V3-4.pdf
Basically, you connect your mixer USB-B to the local host PC (should be a good, fast PC. Could be a laptop, but the monitor is not needed.} then connect the Video, USB and audio from the PC to the KVM Transmitter, which is connected via Cat5/6 cable to the remote KVM receiver. That is then connected to the video monitor, keyboard, mouse and audio device in the remote location. Note that the PC DAW will be working with multichannel audio, but only the stereo output from the PC is transmitted remotely. Should there be an issue with the audio over the KVM link, you can send the low-impedance audio from the sound card output jack over a separate shielded cable to the remote location. That should work. That is what I originally assumed until I found that standard audio is also commonly handled by KVM devices.
Because this won’t be cheap, let me add that many groups that stream good music don’t do it live. Rather, they record the muulti-channel audio and mix/master it in their DAW before streaming or uploading it at a later time. Be sure this isn’t a reasonable solution before going much further.
I hope this will get you started……
2020/09/14 at 6:01 pm #94909Perhaps you need to educate me a bit more regarding KVM devices. The only signals transmitted here are the video, keyboard and mouse digital signals. No audio is involved. All audio is handled by the PC-USB-Mixer interface, which you would have in any situation.
