Qu. Formatting, Calibration and Resets

Print to PDF
  • Updated

USB/SD Card Formatting

Formatting a connected USB-A storage device or SD Card will clear all stored data and set up the correct folder structure for use with the Qu mixer.

It should be carried out before storing any mixer data or making any recordings for the first time.

  1. Connect the USB-A drive or SD Card to format.
  2. Navigate to the UTILITY > USB Utility > Status/Format screen.
  3. Press the Format button at the bottom of the USB section on the left, or SD Card section on the right.
  4. Once formatted, the storage may need to be disconnected and reconnected to be seen correctly.

ⓘ If a USB-A drive or SD Card is connected, but does not appear as Ready in the UTILITY > USB Utility > Status/Format screen, try formatting to FAT32 (32k cluster size) using a computer before reformatting in the Qu.

 

Fader Calibration

Occasionally faders can become misaligned or behave incorrectly, this can happen for many reasons and is usually nothing to be concerned about. However, it may necessitate a re-calibration.

  1. Navigate to the UTILITY > General > Calibration screen.
  2. Touch the Calibrate button and follow the on-screen instructions, positioning the faders at +10dB, 0dB, -10dB, -30dB and -inf when prompted.

 

Recall Defaults

|| SCENES | Scene Manager | All Scenes

The SCENES > Scene Manager screen includes a Recall Defaults button.

This can be used to reset all mix config, patching, layout, processing and routing to the default state, without clearing any stored Scene or Library data. It is best practice to store a scene in an empty slot before recalling defaults, which can be recalled again later if needed.

  • Press and hold the Recall Defaults button to action.

 

Full Factory Reset

A Factory reset will clear all stored data including Scenes and Libraries and reset all preferences and network settings to their default values. Before carrying out a factory reset, it is best practice to store a Show which can be recalled again later if needed.

To carry out a full reset of the mixer:

  1. Start with the power off.
  2. Hold the PEQ In key and Soft Key 1 whilst powering on the unit.
  3. Continue to hold until the unit has fully booted.
