QSC NXD Amplifier Settings

If you are using a QSC GXD amplifier, you can optimize the gain and sensitivity for use with your TouchMix. Refer to
Amplifier Settings" on page 45

Phantom Power (+48V)

Most condenser microphones and some direct boxes require phantom power from the mixer. On TouchMix, phantom power may be turned on or off
on a per channel basis. Make sure that phantom power is on for those channels that need it and off for those that don't.
To Enable or Disable Phantom Power (+48V):
Phantom power is also accessible from the channel Setup screens.

ork on Your Inputs

Ask the performers in turn to do what they do to make their audio contribution to the performance. Without
un-muting their channels, bring the channel's input gain Trim up while watching the channel meter on the Home
screen. What you are looking for is a meter that is bouncing around the 0 mark when the performer is producing
a normal output level.
TIP!: During sound check performers will usually not play as loudly as they do in an actual
performance so keep this in mind and allow a little extra headroom.
With the performer performing, un-mute the channel and bring the fader up until the desired performance level
is reached.
If you are using one of the internal channel presets, this channel should already be sounding good. If it's not what
you're looking for, try some of the other preset choices. For most instruments and musical styles, there will be a
preset that works well. If not, you'll need to dive into the channel and dial it in manually.
To Adjust Channel Parameters:
At the top of the screen, select the tab for the channel processing element you want to work on.

Simple and Advanced Mode

TouchMix offers two modes of operation.
• Simple Mode – Presents the user with a reduced set of controls. It's important to know that switching into Simple mode does not alter the values
of any Advanced-mode controls.
• Advanced Mode – Presents all mixer controls to the user.
You can select Simple and Advanced modes individually for an EQ, Gate, Compressor or Effect. Note that the Stereo and Mono Delays do not have a
Simple mode. Look for the Simple button on the screen. Or you can make the selection globally.
