Thanks Nicola,
This morning when we booted up the console Card 3 was not recognized, after cycling the power on the DX32 all was good.
Slot 4 – Card 4 was an output card. After today we have enough outputs on the DX64 so I swapped, as you suggested, input card 3 into slot 4 and put a blank cover on slot 3. This worked perfectly but we will need to see how things are tomorrow morning when we power up again.
We are also getting a few error messages; we had six “Surface-Internal Errors” in about 5 minutes (not sure what we were doing at the time) … but nothing after that – I assume that is fine but just checking.
Best Regards

2018/03/12 at 10:24 pm #69545Can I use my DX32 with the SQ now? … the notes say DX hub support but there is no mention of DX32 support … ?
2018/01/30 at 7:32 am #68558ddff – the SQ will connect to the DX32, but its not stable at the moment. I have tested it over many days and eventually it will disconnect.
I believe firmware 1.2 will fix this issue … hopefully soon.

Especially if you want to use it as a monitor desk etc.
2018/01/02 at 11:20 am #67810Thanks Nicola,
It was my original understanding, that the DX32 was not supported with the first firmware release, but would be with the next release, then there was release 1.1 so I thought great; it’s here earlier than expected and tried to the connect the DX32 – it immediately recognised all the channels and worked perfectly.
I ran it for a couple of days just to make sure all was well.
When it disconnected it seemed like a communications issue so we changed cable (to solid core cat 5e) and repatched the desk to a 16/8 format in an attempt to make it look like a DX168 in case 1.1 did not support it. FWIW it worked perfectly after that.
If you don’t mind me asking a difficult question – when do you expect the DX32 to be working?
2018/01/02 at 1:47 am #67581Thanks guys – my concern is that the cable I was using was one recommended by A&H https://support.allen-heath.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/367/0/recommended-cables
… so is there an issue with the SQ6 and its connection to the DX32 or do I just need a higher spec cable?At the moment we are substituting our dLive or iLive where ever possible for the SQ or using the SQ with a copper multi-core 🙁
2017/10/26 at 12:32 pm #65893Thanks Nicola,
I expected that I would not be able use the DM rack … but maybe … if you were going to be able to control the preamps in the DX32 racks it may have been possible with the DM via the DX port.
We have iLive, dlive and Qu in our inventory as well DX32 and AR2412 racks. Often the Qu24 has enough inputs for many of our shows and its small size is great, but once you have mixed on a dLive it can be frustrating when you are missing some of the extra tools. I find the thing(s) I miss the most are a dynamic EQ or multiband compressor, even a side chain on the compressor would help. As an rack EFX option would be fine.
Our SQ’s will be out of action to some extent until the DX32 is enabled … soon please 🙂
Best Regards
Peter2017/10/20 at 9:02 am #65749I really miss this function – While I don’t think a mixing desk should be the crossover/ processor for the main speaker system, it was so handy for so many things.
– small shows to mix and match different subs and mains and time align them as necessary
– theatre shows to integrate the various speakers – front fill, stage effects etc.
– large shows; subs on auxiliaries, rolling off the LF in the front fills and out fills and matching the phase response to the mains … and … and…2015/03/30 at 6:10 am #46367Just make the D-esser a fully functioning Dyn. EQ. For most applications that would be perfect.
2015/03/30 at 6:06 am #46365another +1 … I have some iLives and a Midas, the pop funtion is great …

Originally posted by StixYes would be good – but where would the channels populate to? From the far left channel strip? Remember there are multiple surface models with differing fader layouts to contend with so it could be tricky. Perhaps they could appear just to the left hand fader bank and layers only on all models?

The iLive has got probably the best UI on a digital console, but one thing I have realised is how much better a multi layer console is to work on if it incorporates pop groups/fader spill(ala midas, digidesign).
It would be a big, big plus to be able to hit select on a vca master and have the members of that group “populate” the strips on the top layer.A&H, is there the possibility of including this in a firmware update?
It would be especially useful for bigger shows. It seems the general consensus is, “once you’ve used a desk with pop groups, you don’t want to go back to a desk without them”
Does the rest of the iLive community see the value in this?
Would this be considered if enough of us are for the idea?
Cheers,
DarrenHi Darren,
As you know, I have an iLive (which I love) and a Midas …. and you are absolutely correct, once you have used POP or Spill groups it’s hard to go back.
Your suggestion of using the Select Button (subject to a preference page setting) for the DCAs would be great.
The Midas does POP VACs, POP Groups and also has an area B assignment as well as a compressed (POP) flip for monitors. A POP/SPILL DCA would only give you one of the Midas functions but it would still be extremely useful especially on the iLive 80 and GLD.
@Martinijn – yes you can do that, and it’s a handy function, but compared to the Midas it’s almost useless.

Correct my if I’m wrong, but am I the only person here who thinks that when you are changing settings in the ‘Mixer Preferences’ like aux out puts, groups, etc. that it takes to long ?
I always have to wait 2 minutes before the system is again operational.
While looking at a DiGiCo, where I worked last weekend with, it took just a few seconds.So Allen & Heath, a upgrade of something like the GPU or HDD / FLASH to speed up this would very appreciated …
T112 – iDR48 – Dante
It only takes a couple of seconds with my Midas … but … the Midas requires you to individually patch in all the new GEQs and effects after you have done this and the layout of the desk is fixed. The iLive does all of this for you, and the desk layout is flexible, so it’s doing a lot more work when you reconfigure things.

The Slope of the Multiband-Compressor can be changed between 6dB, 18 dB and 24 dB by pressing the Slope-Button in the upper right corner of the multiband-compressor-window.By the way: The explanation of the Below-Threshold-Compression/Expansion in the link you posted is very good.

Thanks Mario,
…I was close …[]
BTW I love the screen display for the Dynamic EQ and Multiband. I had a couple of BSS901 in my analogue rack. They are a fantastic tool but I often had problems explaining how they work to people … but with iLive and UI you can see it … everyone will just love these.
Only 3 things to do now … less clunky scene management, a “POP” function on the SEL button for the DCA like the Midas, and the big one … give me a copy of the circuit diagram so I can work out a way to dim the EQ/Gate/Comp LEDs separately to channel strip display.

Originally posted by tk2kWell, it’s everything we ever had any hint A&H was working on for 1.9… for a free upgrade it’s pretty darn substantial. We got some new toys, and some refinements. I too would love a re-work of the scene management system, but I don’t expect it, so I wasn’t disappointed. I think it’s all about reasonable expectations.
To put this in perspective, Venue users were just asked to pay $150 for
