These provide remote mic inputs and line outputs that connect to the mixer using a Cat5 ‘digital snake’ cable up to 100m long. You can connect up to two AudioRacks, the second as an expander to the first.  The AR2412 AudioRack cannot be used as an expander in a Qu system. Scene, Library and Show memories - All Qu mixer memories are compatible. Files created on one model can be transferred via USB key and loaded on another. The extra features of the bigger models will be ignored when their file is loaded on a Qu-16. The extra features of the bigger models will be reset to factory default when a Qu-16 file is loaded.  To be compatible, ensure all your Qu mixers are loaded with the same version of firmware. Check the Allen & Heath web site for the latest firmware available. USB Audio - A USB hard drive formatted on one model can be used on the other. Stereo and multitrack Qu-Drive recordings are compatible. USB B audio streaming is compatible, but note that the Qu-16 is 24out/22in, the Qu- 24 is 32out/30in, and the Qu-32 and Qu-Pac are 32out/32in. Firmware – The same version but different firmware is needed for each model. Choose either the Qu-16, Qu-24 or Qu-32 file when downloading firmware from the Allen & Heath web site. The procedure for updating firmware is the same for all models. Qu-Pad, Qu-Control and Qu-You apps - These apps are compatible with all Qu mixers. They identify the model and load the appropriate controls when you log in. Qu-Pad and Qu-Control are available for iOS devices. Qu-You is available for iOS and Android devices.  Make sure the app version and mixer firmware versions are compatible. Qu Mixer Getting Started Guide 8 AP10025 iss2 4. Installation The Qu mixer can be operated on a flat surface or fitted into a flightcase. The Qu-16 can be mounted in a 19” equipment rack or plinth. The unique shape of the Qu aids heat management without the need for a fan. It also provides a convenient space to put things when desk area is limited. Ventilation - Make sure that air flow around the ventilation slots at the rear and underside of the mixer is not obstructed. Keep these areas clear when casing, installing or operating the mixer flight.  Blocking or obstructing the ventilation slots may cause damage to the mixer through overheating.

Rack kit part number QU-16-RK19 Minimum rack space required is 11U.  Allow space for the connectors and cables at the rear.

Use STP (shielded twisted pair) Cat5e or higher spec cable up to 100m (330’) long. Cable with both foil and braided screens provide shielding from interference and are generally more rugged. Stranded core cables are less prone to damage when kinked or repeatedly coiled. Plug into the dSNAKE port. If you are connecting a second AudioRack plug it into the EXPANDER port of the first. Once an AudioRack is recognised, the dSNAKE icon will appear in the screen toolbar:  Important - Before starting, read the Safety Instructions Sheet packed with the mixer. These can also be downloaded from the Allen & Heath website.  To avoid loud thumps, do not switch the mixer on or off while the PA speakers are powered. Always switch the amplifiers on last, and switch them off first. Switching the mixer on – Press the ON/OFF switch. The mixer takes just a few seconds to boot up. It restores its previous settings.
