Hah. Really dumb ppl out there.

This was such an easy thing to do and it was blown.

TJComish.

I’m ok with 12xlr if they additional ST 1-3 had been included. Otherwise as you say. It adds significant costs to solve the problem that should have been included.

I’ll take a plug in card with needed local connectors. As on SQ.

That just runs up the expense. I use antenna systems and master antennas anyway. More versatile I/O should have been standard. Opens up larger market uses.

Totally missing my point. Eats up the XLR inputs needed for RF mics local. 3.5 to XLR technically not correct. I haven’t tried turning on 48v with pin 2 and 3 hitting the LR of the sending device. Plus not proper match. Those 12 inputs should have been left solely as microphone inputs.

Well technically not a proper interface method but if it works then so be it.
My vote. AH develop a card with 3.5mm and 2×1/4″ stereo ins. Associated circuitry. That would solve it

Thanks. As of now I’m not promoting the Avantis for my market. I’m not sure that was their intent. More like iLive and dLive. GLD broke from that. Even had a local expansion port. I was thrilled when QU came out and even had 1/4″ line inputs on every local channel. Made it very versatile. SQ kept 3 stereo ins but dropped the line ins. Now they…[Read more]

Not being over dramatic. Just making my point. I’ve been doing this almost 50yrs. I’ve seen everything. I still own a GLD. RCA ins for playback was ok. I made it work. It had built in expansion port. Didn’t have to buy another card. I was thrilled when QU came out and they gave us many local ins plus stereo 1/4″. Same with SQ. So in some ways this…[Read more]

How about talking to the people who actually use these? This is a FUBAR. Guess SQ will live. The most versatile console they have ever built next to QU

Well. Point is. Say you have 3 stereo playback sources. That’s now 6 of the 12 XLR inputs. That leaves 6. Your customer has 6-12 local RF mics. Guess you relocate those to the stage to hit the stagebox.

Not happy at all about removing the stereo 1/4″ inputs. Makes it more difficult to hookup local inputs like CD player, smart devices etc. Good reason to stick with SQ if you don’t need more than 48 in.

Yes. Hook it up to the dSnake port like any other stage box. I have one church install that’s Qu32 with mostly local old copper snake then added mics on a AR84

As others have said. Sometimes it comes down to some folks just aren’t cut out for this. You wouldn’t want someone who could barely play a guitar or drums in a vital role on stage. Or someone who can’t sing leading worship. Running sound requires just as much skill. If they can’t do it let them serve some other way.

They obviously aren’t interested. Keep doing other things less important.

We’ve been begging for both for years.

How’s about putting a dbx PA2 or Venue 360 between your mixer and power amps? That’s what I install on all my jobs. I don’t use the feedback eliminator as I rarely need it. I have but rarely. I use the other features for processing. It’s eliminator works well though.

Mic choice, speaker placement and good tuning and there’s no need for a FB eliminator. I’ve taken them out of many systems. Cause more problems than they’re worth.

If you plan on doing overdub punchins to existing tracks then you pretty much have to look through the DAW just like we’ve been doing for decades with conventional recording. DAW recording has complicated this. I’ve built several rooms. We’ve made it work with higher end recorders like Pro Tools and RADAR. I haven’t worked with other DAWs. Native…[Read more]

I wasn’t asking for snark.

My biggest beef is just them not being forthcoming. Nothing. No statements. Nothing. I think if they were more upfront about it then everyone would understand. I’ve never seen this out of most any other company I sell products for. Quite frustrating.
