Welcome to Quasar
Setup of a networked audio mixing console, though we have made it as easy as possible,
is challenging to condense into a few pages. The following material is intended to help
the busy engineer get up and running in a few minutes.
This Quickstart Guide assumes a few things:
• That the reader has some knowledge of network basics and terminology,
• That the reader is familiar with other Axia Livewire products,
• And that the reader has a network switch correctly configured for Livewire
We will take you through the basic steps to configure your new Quasar and have you up
and running in no time. But before we get started, let's make sure you are familiar with
the Quasar System anatomy.
