They offer/have ‘block or ‘line diagrams if that’s you’re meaning.

2021/09/23 at 3:28 am #103608I haven’t tried it -recording into the drive’s max capacity, but it looks like you must have with no losses?
2020/12/13 at 1:07 am #97220I went with this Gator case -served me well originally for a Mackie 1620 Onyx and happens to work just as well now with the QU16. ‘Finished the fit with slabs/bits from the foam collection out back :>)
2020/10/11 at 9:36 pm #95664The DAW list I saw (a SoundOnSound roundup) were a bunch of low end but for the Steinberg.
My tracking on QU are live and but for one odd problem have been with good results with the QU drive. However -by way of a very good suggestion- …and when the damn virus allows.. will go with a Win tablet/DAW via the USB B, and thumb drive up top for redundancy.2020/10/11 at 7:53 pm #95656Fuch it. After some think&search I come to see this won’t fly on the DAWs I know anyway (‘Steinberg not being one of them.
Oh well :>)
I’d still be curious.. can the ipad run both at once?2020/07/19 at 4:58 am #93470“…even out the difference between a rather lower volume of closed hihat vs roaring sound of them when played open.”
Not hearing it but I’d suspect -compression won’t be a solution.
For a test, try riding the mic level while playing to see how much lower the level on the open hat would need to be.
Just ‘flashing back to studio mixing -when a player’s control isn’t happening on the track, in the mix it would be like ‘a little to bring the closed hat in, off/out if ‘open is too loud (it’s going to be all over the kit pair anyway.2020/06/17 at 3:44 am #92660DM20 3mV/Pa -50dBV/Pa (in one place) 8mV/Pa (-42dBV/Pa) in the spec sheet.
SM57 -56.0 dBV/Pa (1.6 mV)
KSM 137 -37 dBV/Pa (14.1 mV)
KSM9HS -50.5 dBV/Pa[1] (2.99 mV)
KSM8 -51.5 dBV/Pa[1] (2.66 mV)“I am the first guy in the video. As you can see I am not bashing the drums too hard, but without some sort of pad the dm20 would send too hot of a signal for qu16 to handle. Zed12fx,though, handles it at -10db.”
Thanks for posting the vid. Agreed and, the mic’s not even up in on the head as you often see on a snare.Now, if the DM20 ..(shown 3mV/Pa -50dBV/Pa in one place but 8mV/Pa -42dBV/Pa in the spec sheet, we’ll go with that), is 14 dB hotter than an SM57 in equal sound fields right?
And the Shure attenuator -now known to work- but still these odd results that 15, 20, 25 dB padding can’t cure?“In any case, what do you guys think about the attenuator that behaves as if it was on the path bewteen the qu16 and computer and not between the mic and the qu16?”
Just doesn’t add up.
“Btw the signal is not being distorted when I hit my snare in a pop-jazzy manner or if my rimshots aren’t as violent as they tend to get. But, with any louder shots, there’s like 50% chance it would tear through our iems.
The distortion is everywhere, pafl peaks into red, it tears the master out, as well as through the mixes. And finally it is the wav-file when I record multitracks, etc…”And here non stable [non-linear] levels?
So many really odd things to sort out. One could ask a list of things to clarify but..
I wish.. an hour or two hands on, your mic, mixer, pad, a tone generator.. Done.
What is your location BTW? :>) Yeah long shot but WTF :>)2020/06/15 at 8:50 am #92589The Zed in the path lets any amount of reduced level sent to the QU. So, unknown.
Assuming here you used the TRS line level input on the QU? (pads another 10dB.
The Shure pad would be easy to test. Some constant repeatable source, with the inline pad, and without it in the path. (if it is the one with three settings? Should see four steps in level.2020/06/13 at 8:04 am #92554QU16 here but only have used it on fairly lite hitter kits, ribbon and dynamic mics though. I was curious so did some poking around to see if ‘pads on drums came up, saw you had an earlier thread as well.
I thought the DM20 might be like their QTC-1 -which can put out damn near line level anywhere near a drum, but this is not the case. The KSM (fairly typical for condensers) is actually hotter than the DM, but then provides a pad.

This one might be work asking at prosound web. Several QU users there I believe.
https://forums.prosoundweb.com/index.php?board=10.02020/05/02 at 7:22 am #91559Hmm, I recently checked the levels with a pink noise signal on a imput of the SQ, gain to the 0 dB marker, what is afaik -18dBfs. When I now record this signal via tieline or direct out (set to post preamp and not to follow fader) to Reaper. Regardless whether I use USB or Dante, the level on reaper shows -18dB. So everything seems to be ok for me when you do setup the gain correctly. There is no additional headroom added to the recording signal. Ok, I am speaking of Reaper, I don’t know whether other DAW application will do something like you mentioned. But this can be checked within a minute using a signal generator, even one from you smart phone will di this job.
Though QU, same here. Once I got my inputs up near the ‘red (still -18dBFS) aligns just fine in the DAW.
