Each channel of the gate connects to a separate input on the console. The console has an input on it called "INSERT". This is where the gate is connected. The gate is connected using a special cable called an "insert cable". In one of the previous videos I did at the Blue Note Grill, I cover how the gate is connected... unfortunately, I do not recall which video that is.

We only use an SPL meter to ensure we are in compliance with noise regulations. Most venues/locations we provide services at do not have noise regulations. We do not use SPL measurements as a determining factor of our services. When we need to use a meter, we use a Galaxy Audio CM-130.

Happy to help!

Those cable mats are made of rubber. Their original size was 2ft x 4ft long. I cut the mats down the middle (the length of the mat), to make two cables mats from one. I picked up those mats at one of the big box stores... those mats are actually door/floor runners. Check the big box stores for rubberized door/floor runners. They were somewhat inexpensive when I bought them. I've had them for about 12 years now.

That "heat shield" is just a tarp. The tarp is black on one side and silver on the other. The silver side is facing up, which reflects the radiation away. I'm using basic plastic (cheap) clamps to attach the tarp to the top frame. I think I used 8 clamps to attach the tarp. The tent is 10ft x 10ft. The tarp is 10ft x 12ft.

@@stageleftaudio Great to know and thanks. And liked your planning ahead with tarps on the side for sun setting as well as selecting a console for readability based on daylight/night-time. The QU is such a great console to graduate from Analog given the tactile controls - but if you want to drive from an iPad remotely, you can do that as well - plus the ability to do digital stage boxes...

Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear!

We've never had an any issues with the console. The faders have always functioned perfectly. I always promote the use of a voltage regulator on all computer equipment... digital consoles are computers and they can act strange if there is an issue with the power. Every event we've done, the consoles are connected to a voltage regulator. To date, no issues.

@@stageleftaudio thanks

Thanks for your comment. The best way to handle a non-ported bass drum is to mic it on the peddle side. You will get the "slap" of the beater hitting the drum along with the low frequency of the drum. I normally mic bass drums (including ported) in this manner if there is room to place the mic. Just make sure the mic is pointed directly at the area where the beater strikes the drum. Mixing the bass drum becomes a lot easier with good mic placement.

Thank you for this reply, I have not tried it this way but at my upcoming event I will. Keep up the good work, biggest follower.

Glad it was helpful!

Merhaba - Amplifikatörde hangi ayar kullanılırsa kullanılsın, klip sınırlayıcı her zaman etkinleştirilmelidir. Arkadaki diğer ayarlar yalnızca bir geçiş KULLANILMADIĞINDA mevcuttur. Bir geçiş kullanıyorsanız, diğer ayarlar "Tam" olarak ayarlanmalıdır çünkü geçiş, amplifikatörlerin yükselteceği frekansları yönetecektir.

Everything can be daisy-chained, however, the "hops" (more is not good) in the network, will result in more latency of the signal, which can be a bad thing if running IE monitors. Connecting the Earmix systems to the switch will greatly reduce latency and may even simplify the setup.

The 16.8 uses a 4U space. The Ethercon cables are Cat-6a; the cable structure is considered "tactical", which makes them thick. The tactical style of the cable is due to the jacketing; these are very robust compared to non-tactical cable.

Thanks for your comment. The pad-lock icon shows that channel is locked when changing between scenes. Go into "Scene Safe"; you should see the input number that his locked as highlighted... To unlock, just press the input that his highlighted (within Scene Safe). The pad-lock icon should disappear..

@@stageleftaudio Thank you so much!!! Looking forward to your future videos!

請記住，推子位置僅指該頻道的輸出。 當輸入增益設定正確時，推子可能會位於不同的位置。

@@stageleftaudio gain設定好 ，推子推到0dB時 如果聲音過大 ，可以採取trim功能 ，衰減數位信號 ，就可以把推子推到0dB 且不影響信噪比 ，這才是完美的增益架構 🤝

This was considered, but the main reason we did not setup on the side was due to lack of space needed for the FOH tent due to areas where the guests normally sit during these types of events.

If the faders are not moving by themselves, when they should be moving, it probably could be the motor that drives that fader. It's unfortunate, but ALL consoles that have motorized faders, will eventually need a replacement of the motors. If the faders are not moving when you try to move them manually (this is highly unlikely), there could be something under the mixing surface that is stopping the faders from moving.

The "SL" stickers are 2" vinyl; I don't recall where I got those (it was online). I ordered several sheets of "S" and "L" and put them together. For the "Allen & Heath" black/white sticker, this is just a 3/4" (white on black) thermal label printed from a Dymo label maker. All of the labels I use on my cases are low-cost (easily replaceable) solutions. It's cheaper to do this than pay for custom lettering/images. Much of the lettering on the cases gets torn up; it's easy to replace the damaged lettering with "over the counter" solutions.

@@stageleftaudio awesome, thank you for the reply. Love thr videos

Thanks for your comment!

The SQ series are very good.

@@stageleftaudio have one myself and love. Went from using an X32 to the SQ, no comparison.

Great suggestion!

Many thanks!

Yes, I did record the band (at their request), however, I used a (USB) HDD for the recording. After some testing (and research) with SSD devices, they do not work well (they work, but there's far too many errors with the recordings). The problem with SSD is there's no cache. Whereas, HDD devices have caching, which greatly helps with streaming inputs onto the device. I tested various SSD devices with the console; all had excessive errors. SSD is convenient, but is not a good recording medium for the QU mixer. The HDD I used in the video is a 1TB USB 2.0 drive (I bought in 2012). It has recorded several shows. The recording quality seems very good. Like any recording, the gain needs to be set appropriately. I gave the recordings to the band for them to do their own mix-down. For contrast, the Presonus consoles I have all use 32G SD cards; they too produce great recordings, however, any caching taking place is managed by the console (not the recording medium). Hope this helps!

The single sub for this event was more than enough!

This was actually discussed while assessing the site. We were not too sure what to expect for a crowd. Looks like we may use a center-fill if they perform there again. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your comment! We hope to have a video in the future covering the drive-rack 260.

Military and Emergency Services uses phonetics too.

@@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup So do ships, ham operators, police etc Just making a generic joke. Didn't mean to offend or leave anyone out.

👍✅Great show guys!

Thank you!

I really enjoy mixing for you guys! You all are very professional!

👍✅ I will take a shot at that from experience, the chance of rain during the show is probably the reason. You do not want to be moving speakers around in a rush in the rain during a show.

@@paratyshow, I concur, but based on the clip, are the speakers currently positioned under any cover? They don't appear to be, so if it rains, they could still get wet.

@@leeroysilk Looks to me like they are under the tent and away from the edges so a little blowing rain won't affect them but I could be wrong. Bet we will get a definitive answer real soon. LOL

Thanks for all the comments! Yes, the speakers are placed just under the tent in case of rain, which was originally forecasted to start about an hour before they were scheduled to end. And we most certainly did not want to be trying to move speakers in a rush during the show!

My pleasure!

Thanks for watching!

I think he said the sub was feed from the main outs and used the sub's built-in crossover in the sub for the tops.

Yes, you are correct! The sub was fed direct from the console (no xover); we used the xover in the sub for the tops. As well, we do not use AUX fed subs. Thanks for the comments.

​@@stageleftaudioI run Aux fed subs myself, through a DBX PA2. Especially for outdoor shows!

You may want to look at the Audio Architect software. This is the software that is used to manage the amplifiers (just like in the video). I think there is an option in the software to reset the amplifier. The software is free to download from Crown. As of this comment, I think the software version is 2.55.

Setting up an aux mix is fairly straight forward. If you were to unlink the aux-mix (1&2), and treat them as separate aux mixes, route your input to either or both aux mixes. Can you hear your signal through either aux mix (using your headphone amp)? If not, are you able to attach an amp/speaker (or a powered speaker) to the aux-mix(s) outputs and test for signal. If the aux-mixes work for an attached powered speaker (or amp/speaker), the problem may reside in your head-phone amp. Some things to check: 1. Are you using an analog setup with your console? If so, make sure the input you selected is set for "analog" on the "Input" section of the Fat Channel. 2. Make sure the aux mix master fader is turned up. If you are linking aux-1/aux-2, the master fader control will cover both aux-mixes. 3. Make sure your aux-mixes are all set to "PRE" in their setup. Let us know what you find.

Thanks for the comment. The frequency band we use is between the high 400 and mid 500mhz range. The issue is the amount of people that are collecting at the corner, in addition to the MC not moving around. In previous parades, we've never had the number of people at the corner that is there now. I'm currently working on a taller tower for the receivers, and to have the taller tower closer to the MC.

This console does not have a built-in delay. If you need delay, it would need to come from an external device (digital delay device).

k thank u bro
