I/O devices and external head amps

For details on connecting the QL series console to an I/O device, refer to the "Connecting to
I/O devices" section in the separate Owner's Manual.

Press here to access the OUTPUT PATCH window, where you can specify patching from
the console's output ports to the I/O devices. If a previously set-up device does not
currently exist on the DANTE audio network, a yellow "Virtual" indicator is shown at the
lower left of that device. If devices on the network belong to different DEVICE TYPEs but
share the same ID, a red "Conflict" indicator will appear to the left, below the device. If
multiple devices share the same ID, a yellow "Duplicate" indicator will appear to the
right, below the device.
