One way could be:
Configure the console with 6 mono Aux sends.
Have all inputs set at 0dB on all 6 sends (all set to POST).
Then you have the Aux masters for those sends as “volume” on each monitor, yet if needed you can still change the levels of each channel send to each monitor.

Alternative is to configure 6 mono Groups instead of AUX, and assign all channels to all Groups.

The DM3 has a 18×18 USB interface on the back beside the normal 2track stick in the front.

I feel a SQ3 with a similar footprint and perhaps half channelcount as SQ5/6/7 could be a killer for smaller venues/meeting rooms etc.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Not at the console right now, but to center the Pan I seem to remember you can hold down the “reset” button on the left while turning the Pan knob slightly in a hard L – C – R selection.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

When you patched the insert output, did you remember to turn insert on in the channel ?

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

It should load, providing the firmware versions match.
ohh and remember the last 8 faders on each layer will not be populated until you make the layer assigns on the SQ6.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Take a look at Tielines, is my best bet.

The only thing “shared” with the channels are the Head Amp Gain.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

The “problem” as I see it is more.
That most USB stick adds, and manufacturers, only gives the read speeds and choose to “hide” that their products suck at writing.

@esskuh
Just because a SSD disk works fine, does not mean the sticks from the same brand are any good, as we are talking (kinda) different technologies.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Problem with USB sticks is, you only get their download/read speed 90%+ of the time, as most of them only writes with around 10-15% of the read speed.
(often seen sticks claiming to be 100MB/s, yet when testing the write they only do 8-15MB/s )

I have opted to only use sticks for savng shows and for some playback stereo tracks, never multitrack.
For multitrack I use SSD like Evo870 in an external USB case or similar.
(a cheaper disk is the Kingston A400, been using those with luck several times)

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Last part we agree upon completely, unless there is more equipment upgrades soon with Dante capability, it is too expensive for no immiedially gain. 🙂

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Not quite sure why it would be more latency?

The 6000 series is digital from transmitter to DA/analog out on the receiver, and digital all the way to any Dante DA converter.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

As Phil said.

One way could be to have 2-3 stereo sets eg at IP 41/42, 43/44, 45/46, 47/48
Then in the scenes you need a stereo IP, you just have that on the surface.
You can save the patch and have both 5 + 6 use the same inputs as eg 41/42

Hmmmm was not able to edit my post:

TP-Link should have a version with LC connectors (or SFP cage) as well.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Older Allied Telesis AT-FS705EFC/SC SWITCHES

And some noname converters model: 227605

Tested the TP-Link MC100CM as well without problems.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

I have extended from my own SQ5 to my AR2412 by using a 100Mbit ethernet to fiber converter, and a 4 port 100Mbit switch with a fiber port as well.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

The ports you use has to be forced to 100Mbit, if not they will train to 1Gbit on the console = the console will swap to GigACE mode and not SLink.
I think the AB168 default trains to 100Mbit on the switch, ibut to be sure you should configure that port to 100Mbit as well.
