I know this thread is old now but I was just wondering if I there was a digital way to connect a Qu-Pac to my Qu-32 for extra channels. Under normal circumstances I have plenty of free space on my board but for special programs we cut it close and I was looking for an inexpensive way to expand as the need arises. We already have two Qu-Pacs so it seemed the logical place to start.
I’ve connected analog boards inline in the past and needed an inline filter to deal with the static hiss that went along with it. This may or may not be the case with the Qu-Pac to Qu-32 scenario but thought I’d put it out there. I figure though that I could connect the outputs from the Qu-Pac to one of the Stereo inputs (ST1, ST2 or ST3) on the Qu-32, rather than taking up two mono channels on the main layer. The Qu-Pac is mostly tablet control anyway so it shouldn’t be an issue there. I was thinking that the only potential loss of capability might be in controlling the output of the Qu-Pac to the stage monitors on the Qu-32 but it just occurred to me that if I open it up to all on the Stereo channel then I could control them from the Qu-Pac, so no real issue there after all.
So the only real problem might be the potential for static hiss from connecting the two together.
Any thoughts or a logic check would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
