No mix and/or group are hardwired anywhere, you patch them in the I/O tab.

Hugh thanks, think we are 100% on the same page there.
I have a SQ5 inhouse, but use a LS9 several times a year for smaller musicals, and the two consoles are similar enough that I can go on “auto pilot” for the main setup, yet different enough for me to always remember what console syntax I need to use 😉

The main frustration I have seen concerning the SQ scene vs the LS9, is the ability to have fade times, and to make the scenechange right in the middle of a manual fade.
For OP’s use I doubt that will be any issue though.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

You have 12 AUX/Group/mix buttons on the SQ7 vs the 16 on the LS9
How ever, on the LS9 4 of these are usually used for the FX, where as the SQ has 4 seperate sends for that.

And if you want a stereo group on the LS9, you take up 2 mixes, on the SQ you still only use a single mix (all 12 can be either mono, stereo or a combination) 🙂

The DCA’s are merely a remote, just to keep in mind, as you will not have any group processing like comp or eq on those.

Oh and Hugh, what do you mean by Yamaha protocol?
Just curious since I run both console types 🙂

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

With the XLR outs directly on the console and no need for the master out, you can have 6 stereo aux via the XLRs and you can use the A/B TRS jacks as another set of outputs, and the AES as a digital stereo output.

To get all 12 AUX as stereo you need to add an external device, AB/DXl68, AR2412, DX012 or similar
(or add on a Dante card and get the DT02 or any other Dante to analog box)

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Short: yes

Bit longer: As the XLR outputs (and inputs) are balanced mono, you will need to use two to get stereo out.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Soundwise the SQ5 and SQ7 (and SQ6) are 100% identical, as the only difference are the number of faders and local I/O ports.
(and the 6+7 got more soft buttons you can program as shortcuts)

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

An ideer with this, could be a small unit that enabled the use of the CC-7 and CC-10 panels as well.
(in a way like they function on the AHM-64)

But yes a fullblown html5 webserver would be awesome to have.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Remember in “Security & Privacy”
you need to allow the Mac to get input from the SQ.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Just patch the Cajon’s mic input on two channels in the I/O routing.

Then un-assign the streaming channel from the mail and send it to an unused Aux or group, and send that to the streaming matrix.

Better might be to make a dedicated streaming AUX, that will give you independend level control of all inputs fir the stream.

@keithjah Thanks Keith, it is getting better day by day, should be back to normal in a week I hope (getin for a musical soon) 🙂

And right it was where your protocols was placed on the OSI layers I had forgotten.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

The DXHub and all the A&H protocols (GigACE, SLink etc) are not based on the Ethernet protocol.

All of the A&H protocols are end to end based topology, where Ethernet (normal 10/100/1000baseT/TX etc) are star based topology.

The main reason I could guess is kinda the same why programs only work on either Windows, Mac or Linux and not on all of them.

Guess someone better at english than me (and not on painkillers after an operation) might be better at explaining.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

The difference is the DX-Hub has an internal GigAce “switch” that a normal ethernet switch does not.

The issue is we are talking two completely different types of communication, with only the cables and connectors being similar.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Have you changed the USB on the colsole to USB-B ? (the USB on the back, as I presume you use that port)

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

When ever the console is on, the Dante card will be operational and thus need at least some cooling (less than when utilized though)

The only way to disable it would be tio unmount it from the console prior to boot.

[Søren SteinmetzParticipant]

Ahhh then I understand your post.

We are not talking the src but the splitting of the Dante network right in the card, agree that will be a very usefull feature when arriving to (some) venues.
