    As promised a quick update about using the AudioFusion system, yes it does work, no there is no discernible latency providing you set it up as they say.

    We had issues getting it running at first (Q-16 firmware) latency etc etc but pretty much everything was because for ‘testing only’ we tried to do everything on the cheap – old wifi, usb->ethernet etc etc. Once we made the decision to do everything properly – dedicated AC wifi, ethernet from the Mini socket, old iPhone SEs in airplane mode with wifi on, 3.5mm earphones then it worked really well. We had one issue with a no-nome lightning to 3.5 connecter and latency but once we switched to an apple-official one it was fine.

    Will we get it – answer is yes we are planning too for up to 8 people, we are a 100 person Church and its a good fit, if we were larger 2-300 then I would probably go for a Pro system instead.

    We’re in the lucky situation that we’ve be able to get hold of a couple of old iPhone SEs and 6s for free and so we are trying to get a couple more so we can hand them out each time rather than ask people to reconfigure their phones for the time.

    We’re impressed with it – it does what it says.

    Hi again, I updated the firmware tonight (special trip in) and tested it, the static is gone, did a quick ‘does it work’ test with the AudioFusion system (Mac Mini, cheap 11ac wifi and a 2020 iPhone SE) and yes it did. Whether it will with a band is another matter and one we will test out over the next few weeks. Thanks for the superb tip on the firmware.

    Apologies for the incorrect link:

    I will check on the firmware next time I have access to the desk, I usually see it only on Fridays and Sundays.
    Yes this is USB-B from the QU-16 to a 2014 Mac Mini, although we have trialed a MacBook Air and saw the same thing.

    We were intending to trial AudioFusion Soundcaster/Performer to give a simple IEM for our drummer and then expand from there if it worked. Since we already had the Mac, a router, Qu-16 and an iPhone it seemed to be a cheap and easy thing to try.

    We noticed the clicks and could see them spiking multiple channels on SoundCaster on the Mac, we then decided to see if it was the software or coming from the desk itself/cables/Mac by doing a quick recording in Garageband and saw them there so it is coming from the desk/ or cables/ or the Mac.

    As I said I’ve check if we are running the latest firmware and if not update it, Thanks for the suggestion.

    We have a similar issue, Qu-16 linked to Mac Mini, lots of static clicks like this:

    2-3 clicks that sound like static every 6-7 seconds, we have tried 3 different USB cables, we have tried 2 DAW programs and see it in all comninations.
    Alas it has rendered our proposed use of a IEM system useless – does anyone have a solution?
