How to Use This Reference Manual
The QL5/QL1 Reference Manual (this document) allows you to
search for terms and take advantage of links in the text.
Searching for terms
To search for a term, use the search function of the software
you're using to view this document.
If you're using Adobe Reader, enter the term in the search box

If you're using Adobe Reader, you can jump to the previous/next
view in your viewing history. This is a convenient way to jump back
to the previous page after you've used a link to jump to a different
page.
Using the Function Tree
A function tree for the QL series is provided on page 4 and
following. You can use this function tree to find the page that
explains an on-screen display or function.

SELECTED CHANNEL section
The SELECTED CHANNEL section located at the right of the display corresponds to a
channel module of a conventional analog mixer, and allows you to use the knobs on the panel
to set all the major parameters of the currently-selected channel.
Operations in this section will affect the channel that was most recently selected by its [SEL]
key. If you have assigned an ST IN channel or STEREO channel to a single channel strip,
either the L or the R channel will be selected, and the major parameters for L and R channels
will be linked.
Operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL section
Follow the steps below to perform operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
NOTE
The number and name of the currently-selected
channel is shown in the channel select field located in
the Function Access Area of the touch screen.
If an ST IN channel or STEREO channel has been
assigned to a single channel strip, you can switch
between L and R by repeatedly pressing the same
[SEL] key.
You can also switch channels by pressing the channel select field located in the Function Access
Area. Press the left side of the field to select the preceding channel. Press the right side of the
field to select the next channel.
If you have turned on the option “POPUP APPEARS WHEN KNOB(S) PRESSED” on the
PREFERENCE tab (accessed by pressing the SETUP button, then the USER SETUP button),
pressing a knob repeatedly will open or close the screen (1ch).
Even if a different screen is selected, the channel selected with the
[SEL] key can be set using the knobs of the SELECTED CHANNEL
section. In this case, a window indicating the value of that parameter will
appear on screen when you operate a knob.
SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen
SEND field
In this field, you can view the send level and pre/post from the channel
to each MIX/MATRIX bus. You can also switch the on/off status of the
send signals. The view and the function of the knobs and buttons in
the SEND field vary depending on whether a pair of bus channels
(odd-numbered and even-numbered) are comprised of two mono
channels or a stereo channel.
1 Tabs
Enable you to select a group of 16 output bus channels to be
displayed in the SEND field.
MIX tab .................................. displays MIX buses 1–16.
MATRIX tab ........................... displays MATRIX buses 1–8.
STEP
1. Press the Bank Select keys in the Fader Bank section to select the bank that includes
the channel you want to operate.
2. Use a [SEL] key in the top panel channel strip section or the master section, to select
the channel to control.
3. If the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen is not displayed, press one of the knobs in
the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
4. Use the knobs and the buttons in the screen to edit the parameters of the selected
channel.

gain is assigned to the GAIN knob, the analog gain value is shown here.
NOTE
For an input channel that is patched to an input that has no head amp, 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7
will not be shown. For an output channel,
17 will not be shown.
If GAIN KNOB FUNCTION is set to DIGITAL GAIN in the USER SETUP PREFERENCE
screen, the digital gain knob will appear for

Input and output patching
This chapter explains how to edit the input patching and output patching, how to connect
inserts, and how to use direct outputs.
When the QL series is in the initial state, the following input ports (jacks/ports) are patched to
each input channel.
For QL5
For QL1
When the QL is in the initial state, the output ports (jacks/ports) are patched to the following
output channels.
*1. QL1: OMNI OUT1–6
*2. QL1: MIX1–6
*3. QL1: OMNI OUT7–8
Input patching
QL series consoles and I/O devices feature two types of patching: Dante audio network
patching and QL console internal patching.
For Dante audio network patching, you will use the DANTE INPUT PATCH window. In this
window, you can patch the QL console and I/O device inputs. Sixty-four (64) channels for the
QL5 and thirty-two (32) channels for the QL1 can be input from a DANTE audio network.
Choose channels from Dante audio network signals and select the I/O devices that you want
to control from the QL series console.
Then, route the input signals (that were patched in the DANTE INPUT PATCH window) to
channels on the QL series console. To do this, choose input ports from DANTE 1–64 (for QL5)
or DANTE1–32 (for QL1) in the GAIN/PATCH window.
Output patching
Use the OUTPUT PORT window to patch QL consoles output channels and Dante audio
network. In this window, assign output channel signals to DANTE 1–64 ports (for QL5) or
DANTE 1–32 ports (for QL1).
Next, patch the output signals from DANTE 1–64 (for QL5) or DANTE 1–32 (for QL1)
(assigned in the OUTPUT PORT window) to I/O device outputs. Use the OUTPUT PATCH
window of the I/O DEVICE to make these assignments.

Dante audio network.
