Are you connecting with 2.4 or 5g WIFI. If not 5g try a 5g channel.
Get a scanner app and see what channels are in use. I tend to stay in the lower
5g channel. I use WIFI Man, the scanner apps are just about all for Android.

Are there any other apps open on your ipad?

Also try hiding the SSID broadcast.

[Mike CParticipant]

Was this with a know working USB stick used in the past?

So if I understood the the post correctly your pick up direct output the built in mic output were at one time isolated with each output on it’s own mixer channel input?

Does your harp have two individual outputs are does it use a tip ring sleeve stereo cable
that breaks out into two output connectors?

[Mike CParticipant]

Are you recording just a stereo board mix or multitrack?

No mixer control app that I know of will directly play the files.

[Mike CParticipant]

You are at the max length. Is the cable one continuous piece?

Is it shielded cat cable?

[Mike CParticipant]

If you do not want changes to the channel strip eq to be sent to the mix out there is setting on the mix routing menu for PRE or POST EQ that is independent of the PRE POST fader setting.

[Mike CParticipant]

Have you tried running some temporary cat cables for a test?
How long are the cable runs, the cable type, termination type?

Maybe take the boxes to mixer and connect them with some short cables to see what happens.

If mix 7-8 is set to PRE FADE and you are using the mix 7-8 outputs on the back of the mixer changing levels while in the main L R mix mode would not change the send levels on mix 7 – 8.

There are other PRE options on the mixes, pre EQ pre processing in addition to the PRE or POST fade options.

Remove all the gates on the vocal mics!!! Gating a vocal mic it tricky at best with a consistent person on the mic who knows how to speak directly into the let along various people using the mics.

Going by the gate indicator you are gating them to full off……if you want to attempt vocal mic gating reduce the gate depth to about 6db and apply a longer hold and release time.

First try getting the system gain set up properly and EQ’ing the main and monitor systems before trying anymore gated vocal mics.

As mentioned when the gate or gates open the system could start feeding back as in the recording you posted.

Also I noticed that you have a few EQ cuts inplace but the EQ is in the off / bypass mode.

+1 to Scott’s post.

How does the mix sound in the room?

Using the POST fade mix start off by having all of the mix 7-8 channel send levels set the same on every channel, that way the live stream will be tracking more or less exactly the main mix that sent to the PA system.

Using a PRE fade mix just about requires another person mixing that mix with an iPad while monitoring with good isolation headphones or being located in another room.

To set a matrix mix select the matrix, then while in the routing menu hit the button
to the lower left of of the screen for the matrix view and select the matrix sources by tapping that source on the screen.

[Mike CParticipant]

To me that sounded like feedback the way it just kind of swelled up in level.
It maybe kind of held back some do to the mentioned “feedback wizard” unit.

If I understand your post the QU16 will be used in your church and not the QU Pac.

For the QU16 to do what you want to do you will need to use the aux mix outputs.
First set mixes 9/10, 7/8 and 5/6 all to post fade and post processing, then select each of those mixes and and set all the channel send levels to unity (about 75%), then hit the SEL button for that mix master fader in the processing menu you can set the delay time as
well as EQ and compression/limiting. You may want to roll off some of the low end on the loop feed.

Using post fade aux sends those levels will track what is done on the main mix layer.

If using the QU Pac you have two matrix mix outs as well as sub group outputs…..how ever to get to all of those at the same time you would need to use the stage expansion box.

[Mike CParticipant]

You need to patch the mixer output you want to feed live the live stream to the correct tracks on the CQ USB audio output. I set up a CQ18 a couple months ago to do just that and I think I used 15 & 16 for the live stream mix.

[Mike CParticipant]

With the QU series the mixer surface 16, 24, 32 is the channel limit even with using a stage box, you can mix and match inputs from the stage box and the mixer but the total input is limited by the mixer.
The exception is the QU SB and QU Pac, those can be expanded to a total of 32 channels when using a stage box.

That all said with using a stage box you can get a few extra channels by assigning a stage box inputs to the stereo channels on a QU mixer.

[Mike CParticipant]

I don’t think there is multi device paring bluetooth transmitter.

There is this system https://www.listentech.com/product-category/wi-fi-streaming/

That system is an audio encoder that connects to either a stand alone WIFI router or the buildings WIFI network, anyone with a phone can download the app and with their phone connected to the WIFI network the audio is streamed to their phone and from their phone they can bluetooth to their hearing aids.

Yes it does require some smart phone usage level of operation.

I’ve installed a couple of those systems and they do work well.
