I have a QU24. Last few gigs I used this trick for vocals:
On channel/strip 21 I have the vocal mic input. In the set-up I change the input of strip 22 to input 21.
Channelstrip 22 I delay for approx 200msec. I pan channel 21 hard left and channel 22 hard right.
Of course you can experiment with delay-time, EQ, but also of several effects on each of these channels.
This simulates doubling the vocal as used during post-production for a CD. And result in more voluminous (correct spelling?) vocals.
Maybe this is what you are after?

Hello Viikan,
I had the same problem during a soundcheck of a bigband.
After some experiments I found that the FX were also returned into groups 1 & 2. I don’t know whether this setting is by default or by an erronuous set-up during an earlier gig.
The groupoutputs are/were routed into the master, which caused the same problems as you mentioned.

How long will the Windows DAW control last?
I just bought a Behringer X-touch, because it seemed that A&H will not release a Windows DAW control for the QU-series in due time.
So, if my QU-24 can do the job I hope I can return the X-touch!

Hello Andreas,
Thanks for your reaction.
The connection between the GLXD receivers and the mixer are simply XLR-XLR signal cables. The Shure receivers have external power connectors. I tried with or without ground lift. Which did not result in any solution.
I’m also convinced that it is not a feedback matter. After a lot of experiments (it does not occur at predictable moments!) I think it has something to do with interferences between some frequencies, which have nothing tot do with the audio-signal. Such as (digital) sampling frequencies or carrying frequencies. But until now I can’t find the match that result in approx. 11kHz.

Thanks for your inputs Mervaka and GCumbee
You both let me think how realistic my suggestion is, considering the practice on the gig and the demands on the electronics.

Yes (Mervaka), I already considered a split of the main mix layer. But 12 channels is not enough for most of my gigs.
Now, if I have enough channels available I only “double” the input-channels for vocals. Mostly 5 at the max.
I can live with that for now! And, to be honest, I don’t want to think about processing all instruments (including drums) separately for all mixes. That would be unworkable.

Still (my) vocalists have individual preferences in their monitoring, some of them with in-ears.

Maybe my suggestion can be relativated somewhat:
Is it possible to choose for a separate processing for each channel by means of a (software) switch.
I can imagine this could be realized for a limited number of channels and/or layers.
