Just to put a cap on this, we bought a new Qu-SB, and am tickled with it! Will test the direct iPad to ethernet attachment as a fallback control. Thanks all!

Have personally asked:
– B&H (none in stock, their ETA is mid-June at this point)
– Washington Music Center (none in stock, no ETA)
– Broadcaster’s General Store (none in stock, will call back when know ETA)

My vendor said their regular channel supplier has no firm ETA for it, and they tried Sweetwater as a fallback, and none in stock and no firm ETA on getting more…

Thanks all! Decided today to go with the Qu-Pac in the rack, with Qu-Pad control. Sounds like a great solution for us, as we won’t need to do much active mixing during the service, but have the control to make tweaks from the back of the sanctuary where our webcasting booth is when needed.

Now, another question — as the front of the Qu-Pac is slanted, can anyone tell me how far out the bottom of the Qu-Pac protrudes past the rack ears? There’s a front door on the rack; there’s about 3/4″ from the front rail to the face of the cabinet, with another 3/4″ clearance within the door (so about 1.5″ with the door shut.) Will I be able to shut the door with the Qu-Pac installed? I’ve looked at the dimensions sheet and can’t tell from that where the racks ears mount on the side.

Also, I didn’t see anything on the A&H Qu-Pad page on which model(s) of iPad work best for that app, which no doubt needs some processing power.
Have a 16GB A1395 (“iPad 2”, WiFi-only) available to use, but prolly too old to to the job I’m guessing…

All of the existing audio equipment as well as the speaker wires, etc are already in the cabinet. Don’t want to try to terminate all this outside the cabinet; also really no space for a table where the existing audio cabinet is. So, whatever we get is going to end up being rackmounted in the cabinet.

We don’t need to record or play external sources from the cabinet; one of current the system outputs is a mono XLR send to the back of the church that goes into our webcasting system via a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface. Eventually, we’ll use a send from the Focusrite as another input to the sanctuary sound system to get the pre-recorded sources audio from the webcast to play locally (once we can have folks in the sanctuary again.)
