Personal Q Controller System
With the optional Personal Q Controller system, performers
can adjust the controls in the Personal Q mixer from a remote
location. See the Personal Q Guide for details.
If no PQ Controllers are used, the PQ mixers are still avail-
able for use as stereo Matrix mixers controllable from the
console.
Configuring Matrix and PQ Mixers
The 12 Inputs for each Matrix and PQ mixer can be any com-
bination of the 35 potential sources:
• 24 shared Aux and Group sources
• 3 Mains sources (LCR or LR+M)
• 8 User Input sources
User Inputs can be input channels, FX Returns, physical Stage
Rack inputs, physical FOH Rack inputs, or inputs from a
Pro Tools Recording/Playback option (HDx or FWx)
• One or more of the 8 available user inputs can be sent to
one or more Matrix or PQ mixers.
• Input source assignment and user input assignment can
be stored on a per-snapshot basis.

• The input sources for Matrix mixers and PQ mixers are
configured as Pre- or Post-Fader in the Pickoffs tab of the
Options page.
• Input labels (1–8, Left, Right, C/Mono and User) are only
intended as a guide, to help you navigate the controls on
D-Show. In use, any input source can be assigned to any
mixer input (for example, Left doesn't always have to be
assigned to the Left input of a PQ mixer).
Configuring Aux, Group and Mains Pickoffs

and PQ mixers:
