I’m going to speculate that they’re functionally identical but that the V2 uses a newer Dante chipset. If it were otherwise, they’d actually say something about it in the product information.
2020/04/29 at 4:57 pm #91495Yep. You can connect all sorts of inputs, but the number of processing channels is fixed at 48.
If processing isn’t needed you can use tie lines to route things around without using a channel, though. Definitely spend some time with the manual if you haven’t, there’s a lot of flexibility.
2020/04/29 at 1:30 pm #91487No, you need to go back into I/O and do the routing from USB or Dante to a processing channel first. Looks like you’ve used everything but 47/48, so I guess those are the ones you’ll be using.
If you’re connecting your computer to the SQ via USB, you’ll want to patch whichever pair of USB inputs you’ve directed your Reaper master output to to channels 47/48 (presumably you’ll want to configure that pair as a stereo pair in mixer setup).
Then, you can stick a fader for that channel wherever you want.
2020/03/18 at 3:01 pm #90366USB is just another set of outputs on the SQ, so there’s nothing special to do. You can send the Main LR mix to USB, or if you want to leave that alone you can set up a stereo Aux mix (with default board settings, there are a couple of stereo auxes already set up starting at the Mix 5 button). Any inputs you bring up in that mix will then be included in the output, USB or otherwise.
You’ll need to route the mix output on the I/O screen. See section 6.4 in the reference guide (page 19) for a screen shot, and that whole chapter for detailed information. On the Outputs-Mix Out tab (on the left) select USB on the top. You’ll want to make sure the USB ‘source’ is set to USB-B. Patch the left and right channels of your main or aux mix to the desired USB output channels, and you’re all set. Just configure the software on your Mac to listen to the right inputs.
2020/03/08 at 4:07 am #90094As Flo84 posted above, A&H never give release dates or even ETAs. When it’s ready, it’ll be released. Just have to be patient…
2020/02/25 at 2:29 am #89836Nothing special to do, just plug in.
2020/02/21 at 2:24 pm #89768Per the SLink Connections document, “It is not possible to connect two AR2412’s to one port (as the maximum number of dSnake inputs is 40).”
So you would need to stick an SLink I/O card in the slot on your SQ to enable this.
2020/02/10 at 2:45 pm #89460If you follow Mark’s link you’ll see that both of the standards illustrated (T568A and T568B) are doing exactly the same thing; they just put the colours in a slightly different order. The important thing is to make sure that the four twisted pairs in the cable are patched properly.
You can safely pick either standard, as long as you use the same one on both ends. And as Mark says, it’s wise to pick a standard and then *stick* to it when making cables. Less likely to make stupid mistakes that way.
I’ll also add: if you’re going to make your own cables, invest in a *good* crimper. Don’t just get one of the basic things that they used to sell at Radio Shack. These things can be fiddly to do, and if you don’t have the right tools and technique you’ll be troubleshooting bad connections forever.
2020/02/05 at 7:47 pm #89360You can set any or all of the three matrix busses as either mono or stereo; see the reference manual page 63.
There are two 1/4” outputs available that you can then patch mono matrices to through the I/O screen, but you’ll still need an adapter for the third one as you’ll need to use an XLR output there.
There are still only three matrix busses available to you, whether you use them in stereo or mono. But from what you describe, three should do it for you.
2020/01/29 at 7:41 pm #89155If you’re not familiar with digital boards in general, be sure to read through the reference manual in a fair bit of detail. I’ve found the overall structure of the SQ to be a lot more intuitive than most, but there are still things it took me a while to wrap my head around. It’s worth the effort!
2020/01/23 at 8:45 pm #89001They’re a lot less common these days, but most LCD panel makers still say a handful of dead/stuck pixels is within normal tolerances. You’d have to contact A&H support to see what *their* policy is, though.
As for me, as annoying as I’d find it, one or two wouldn’t be worth sending the console away. Of course, if more pixels started failing, that would be different.
2020/01/12 at 5:46 am #88686All you have to do is press the I/O key, tap Outputs, then Mix Out (both on the left side of the screen). Make sure you’re on the Local tab at the top as well; you probably are, though.
Then, scroll down to find the MainLR L and R rows. Scroll right to reveal the A and B columns, then tap the grey square at the junction of MainLR L and A, and Main LR R and B, so they go white. You can have the same mix going to multiple outputs, so this won’t affect any existing patch.
That’s it – you’re all set.
This is pretty basic I/O routing stuff, you should definitely check out the reference manual starting on page 17.
2019/12/23 at 2:33 am #88383Sounds like you need to create an aux mix to route out to the SQ Drive or USB-A, not just direct your LR mix out there. That way you can set the fader and mix master levels independently for your record mix.
Since it’s a digital board, remember that your software likely shows the 0 dB line right at the top of the meter, whereas the SQ shows it in pretty much the same way they do on an analog board, with +18 dB of additional headroom above. But that doesn’t change the fact that within the board 0 dB is where the signal will clip. So all else being equal, if your output level on the SQ is at the 0 line on the faders, it will correspond with -18 dB in your DAW. So on your record mix you’ll want to set your levels there, allowing plenty of room. If you’re trying to set levels based on the target in your software (say, -12 dB) directly with the faders, that would actually result in a -30 dB level in your software due to the difference in meter display.
But really, the key here is to set up a separate mix for the recording. That way the fader levels will be independent from those for your main mix. If you make it Aux4, let’s say, you then just need to go into your IO patch screen and patch Aux4 L/R to the desired USB channels.
If you haven’t already looked it up, download the reference manual and dive into the I/O Patching chapter starting on page 17. If this is your first digital board you’ll find there’s a LOT more flexibility in there than you’re used to, but it means a bit of digging at first!
2019/12/09 at 4:05 pm #88163Careful Sparky, Joseph was asking about the DT, not the DX!
The DT168 requires a Dante card. To use the SLink port you’d have to go with the DX168.
As far as I can tell, the only significant difference between the two is the network scheme, so if you’ve got Dante infrastructure the DT might make more sense. But if you don’t, sticking with A&H’s ‘native’ format will require less configuration. AND it leaves your I/O spot free for future use.
2019/12/01 at 2:27 am #88003I very much doubt there’s anything specific to the SQ, but no reason you couldn’t go with one for a tablet (say, iPad mini) and cut it to fit.
