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.

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.

[Mike CParticipant]

With my QU’s I need to take a WIFI router everywhere I go, so an external WIFI is easily down. ( actually I take four routers with me, each set to a different 5g operating channel)

That said you should think about getting a WIFI channel scanner app so you can see what is in use where you are setting up so you can stay clean of channel conflicts. I tend to stay in the lower 5g channels, even with my preset routers sometimes I still need to go in and change a channel. “WIFI Man” for Android is the one I use most.

At one off venues I would not connect to the venues network, I have set up a few installs
where the mixer is on the buildings network.

[Mike CParticipant]

If you would use an external that router / WIFI would need to be connected to an active internet source to do what Joey wants to do.

I’m going to look at this another way.
Since your sound team volunteers have very little understanding of the inner processor workings of running sound I would focus on the basics for them.

As Dave said gain staging, if something changes on the stage they should be able to
know how to trim the input channel.

Have the processing set up with a window of operating range ahead of time.
Have them focus on hitting the needed cues, what to listen for and focus on in building a halfway decent mix and maybe how to touch up channel eq….if needed.

I feel having them focus on the basics and paying attention to what’s happening on the stage would be better than have them staring at menus on the mixer and possibly getting into something they shouldn’t while missing cues or changes on the stage.

If anyone on the team wants to then take their operational skills to the next level great!

[Mike CParticipant]

I didn’t watch the videos but on the QU16 to access the DCA faders they need to be assigned to the custom layer and or use the QU Pao app.

+2 for Roy

With that I could find use for a CQ20 for smaller events that I now take another small
box mixer to.

[Mike CParticipant]

What camera are you using? And what kind of connection does it have for the input?

Many times when interfacing between an audio system and video system you will need to use transformer isolation.

Keep in mind your coming from a balanced output on the mixer to possibly a stereo unbalanced input on the camera.

[Mike CParticipant]

Have you flipped the output cables left to right, right to left just to double check the issue is not after the mixer.

To work around the issue for now you could try the ALT OUT output and set it to L R.

[Mike CParticipant]

Not on the QU, they are locked in stereo.
If you need more mixes you can switch the groups to function as stereo mixes.
The QU16 though does not have groups.

[Mike CParticipant]

There is a dedicated QU Drive control you can place in a custom layer, there is one for play and one for record.

In using the source select menu once it is set it will stay selected unless a scene is recalled that changes the source patching.

[Mike CParticipant]

Try using the PEQ for the room EQ.

The AMM function works great, though I have never used it with PTT mics, will multiple people be talking at the same time?
Is there someone or a couple people who are moderating the event, asking questions ect to the panel of the 20 people?

Will this a one way outgoing only live stream or will people watching be responding via audio with questions?

[Mike CParticipant]

That is the default gain when connecting to a stage box input, same thing on the QU.
If you same a scene for each configuration your settings should re call with the scene.
Check that there are no filters / blocks set on the scene recall for the patching and pre amp settings.
