This version is for Qu mixers running V1.9* firmware. Qu-You is a personal monitor mixing app for the Qu mixer giving you customised control of a monitor mix on stage using an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It connects wirelessly to a Qu-16, Qu-24, Qu-32, Qu-SB or Qu-Pac mixer via an attached router or access point. The Qu range supports simultaneous connection of up to 8 iOS devices with up to two of these running Qu-Pad (for complete control of the mixer) and the rest running Qu-Control or Qu-You apps, all of which are available free from the Apple Store. Qu-You lets you: - Choose a monitor mix (Qu Mix 1-10, and Grp1-8 if in mix mode) - Assign which sources to control (Channels, FX returns, Groups) - View channels numbers, names and meters - Assign up to 4 groups of sources to level trim wheels - Create a 'Me' group for quick control of your own channels - Name each group - Control the mix master level and mute - Control the mix master PEQ, Graphic EQ and Compressor - Control the mix send levels and pan - Lock the mix and/or processing (to prevent user error) - Use a login password if one is set at the Qu mixer Please note that Qu-You is for remote control of a single mix in the console and does not pass audio. Requirements: An Allen & Heath Qu-16, Qu-24, Qu-32, Qu-SB or Qu-Pac mixing console running V1.9* version firmware, with a wireless router (wireless access point) connected to its Network port. The Qu mixer firmware and Qu-You app maintenance version numbers ‘*’ do not need to be identical, for example Qu-You V1.93 can connect to a Qu mixer running firmware V1.96. Refer to the Allen & Heath web site for more information and to download the latest Qu mixer firmware.
