Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of 32 mic/line inputs for large productions?
The Qu-32 eliminates the need for external expanders in most touring and broadcast applications, providing input capacity for multi-band festivals, large orchestras, broadcast studios, and complex corporate events from a single console.
How does full DSP processing enhance a large-scale mix?
Full onboard DSP includes dynamics, EQ, effects, and sophisticated routing at every input and mix bus. This means you can shape every microphone and create complex sends without external processors or patch bays.
Can the Qu-32 handle simultaneous front-of-house and monitor mixing?
Yes, the Qu-32 provides independent mix busses and full wireless iPad control via Qu-Pad, allowing separate engineers to manage FOH and monitors simultaneously. The complete Qu ecosystem supports multiple monitoring mixes.
What recording capacity does USB multitrack provide?
Direct USB recording captures all 32 inputs plus mixed outputs for live archiving, broadcast recording, or post-event production analysis. This is invaluable for broadcast documentaries and concert recordings.
