Channel Mix Sends screen
Use this screen to work with the sends and
assignments from one channel to all the mixes.
Each send can be set Pre or Post fader. It is typical to
set monitor sends pre-fade so that the channel fader
does not affect the monitor mixes, and to set effects
and fill speaker sends post-fade so that their levels do
follow the faders.
The channel can be assigned (routed) On or Off to
each mix. Touch the Level and Pan buttons and use
the screen rotary to adjust their settings.
To work with the sends and assignments from all
channels to one mix use the Master Strip
Mix keys and
the fader strips.
Channel FX Sends screen
Use this screen to work with the sends and
assignments from one channel to the FX mixes. These
are for Mix>Return effects such as reverb and delay.
The sends can be set Pre or Post fader but it is usual
to leave these set post-fade so that the effects follow
the channel fader level. Each send can be assigned
On or Off. Its Level can be adjusted here.
To work with the sends and assignments from all
channels to one FX mix use the Master Strip
Mix keys
and the fader strips.
Qu-16 FX3 and FX4 do not have dedicated sends.
However, you can assign any of the Mix1-10 buses to
feed these. To do this use the
FX / Back panel screen.
Channel Audio Group Assign screen
The Qu-24 includes two stereo Group mixes, and the
Qu-32 has four. Groups are not available on the Qu-16.
This screen lets you assign one channel to all groups.
To work with the assignments from all channels to one
group use the Master Strip Mix keys and the Assign +
fader strip Sel keys.
6.9 Working with the Groups (not Qu-16)
Mono and stereo input channels and FX returns can
be routed to groups. Group routing follows the
channel faders and pan. They do not have send levels.
You can use a Group to sub mix several channels for
single fader level control, or to process several
channels, for example:

FX return or stereo drum sub mix

Compressor over several backing singers

Single EQ over several lavalier microphones
 Grouping signals for recording or ME monitoring
For sub mixing – Assign channels to the Group rather
than LR, then assign the Group to LR.
Access the Group masters using the Master Strip Mix
keys.
Each Group provides:

Stereo routing

Source Assign to Group

Master Fader and Mute
 Output Balance

Routing to LR and Matrix

PEQ

GEQ

Compressor

Delay

FX insert
