Qu-Pad Help – Setting Up
The Qu mixer can be set up and controlled using an iPad. The iPad connects to the mixer through a wireless
router plugged into the Network port. This creates up a private Wi-Fi network for the mixer. It does not
provide access to the Internet or other networks.
1.1 Requirements
Number of connections – Qu supports a maximum of 8 connections including
up to 2 iPads running Qu-Pad. The others can be Qu-You.
Apps - You can get the Allen & Heath
Apple Store. You can also get the
control using iOS devices including iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. A version of
Qu-You is available for Android devices from Google Play. These apps are free
and can work with any Qu mixer.
Qu mixer - An Allen & Heath Qu mixing console running
firmware, with a suitable wireless router (wireless access point) connected to
its Network port. Supported mixers: Qu-16, Qu-24, Qu-32, Qu-Pac and Qu-SB
Version number - The Qu mixer firmware and Qu-Pad version must be
compatible. Both must run the same feature version number, for example V1.9.
The maintenance version number can be different, for example Qu-Pad V1.90
will run with Qu mixer V1.91.
iPad - Qu-Pad supports all models of iPad running iOS7.1 or higher. iPad1 is
not supported. The current version tested at time of this release is iOS9.
Qu-Pad handles a large amount of processing and metering data. For best
performance shut down other applications running in the background. Make
sure the iPad is charged before using it for a session.
Wireless Router - Qu-Pad is a professional mixing tool that justifies network
equipment of suitably high performance, quality and reliability. For best results
use a dual band (2.4 and 5GHz) wireless router (wireless access point) with
auto channel selection. This can automatically set itself to an available or least
congested channel when you power it up.
1.2 Set up the Wireless Network
Qu mixer Network port
Cat5 cable
Wireless router setup – Connect the router to a PC or Mac using a Cat5 cable.
Follow the instructions provided by the router manufacturer to access its setup
menus. Once set up, disconnect the router from the computer and then plug it
into the Qu mixer Network port using a Cat5 cable.
We recommend that you set a router password (key) for security. You can
also change the router SSID (name) to identify your network in the list that
appears on your device.
Router location - Position the router high enough avoid obstacles such as
people and equipment. Avoid locating it behind pillars or walls, near metal
beams or on top of loudspeakers.
