The Qu mixer has sockets for all its inputs and outputs on its rear panel and can therefore be used
without any additional rack. However, if you wish to use a digital snake to connect remote stage audio to
the mixer using a single Cat5 cable then there are several rack options available. The following diagrams
show suggested combinations:
