An overview of the QL series

Owner’s Manual

An overview of the

QL series

Features

QL series digital mixing consoles create high-quality,

refined, live-sound environments. These consoles carry

forward the digital evolution of a broad array of advanced

concepts that helps to make the consoles easy and

intuitive to use. The built-in effect processor and an

optional I/O devices can accommodate the most

demanding situations at the highest level of quality, while

retaining the flexibility necessary to configure a system

that meets your needs.

User interface friendly to newcomers

but familiar to seasoned users

The Selected Channel section located to the right of the

display lets you use the knobs to control the main

parameters (gain, EQ, dynamics threshold, etc.) for a

particular channel. This section can be operated much

like a module in an analog mixer.

The display is a touch screen. You can turn functions on

or off or select items simply by touching buttons or knobs

on the screen. You can use the [TOUCH AND TURN]

knob to adjust the parameters of the selected knob.

Groups of channels routed to the top-panel faders can

be selected and switched easily in a

“Fader Bank”. The

Fader Bank holds input and output channel banks, as

well as custom fader banks. The custom fader banks

enable you to select various combinations of channels,

regardless of channel types. Each channel strip offers

easy visual identification. The channel name appears on

a display, and an indicator shows the channel color. You

can adjust the brightness of each indicator across a

broad range to accommodate dimly-lit environments.

Mix parameter settings, including gain and phantom

power for input channels, can be stored and recalled as

“scenes.” All faders on the panel are moving faders.

When you recall a scene, the recorded fader locations

will be reproduced immediately.

Flexible system configuration with

Dante

The Ethernet-compatible Dante audio network protocol

facilitates connecting QL series consoles to external

devices, such as the Rio3224-D I/O device. A connected

I/O device that has been assigned a unique unit ID will

automatically be recognized and will facilitate patching

functions.

Using an I/O rack, you can configure a redundant

network to defend against unforeseen difficulties that

can arise in large-scale Dante networks. If multiple QL

units share the same I/O device, the gain compensation

function will maintain network audio streams at a

constant level to help you enjoy the benefits of a

large-scale sound system.

The Dante Virtual Soundcard software enables you to

carry out multi-channel recording to DAW software

installed on a computer. Consequently, no other audio

interface is needed.

Integration of mixer and I/O device

with port-to-port functionality

Direct “port-to-port” patching functionality between input

ports and output ports allows direct routing of QL analog

inputs and outputs to/from external Dante devices

without passing through the mixing channels.

Further, you can remotely control the head amps from

other CL series and QL series consoles, allowing QL

series consoles to be used as remote I/O devices. You

can use recall safe in the port to port function to remove

a head amp from scene recall in QL series consoles so

that it is controlled only from another CL series or QL

series console.

Ultra-realistic digital reproduction of

analog sound by PREMIUM RACK

The QL series features PREMIUM RACK, which

employs VCM technology. This technology models

analog circuitry on a component level to faithfully

reproduce amazing analog sounds. PREMIUM RACK

creates authentic sounds by modeling and faithfully

capturing the sonic characteristics of analog circuitry

fine-tuned to be faithful to the original sound. The QL’s

PREMIUM RACK includes six models, including a

Portico 5033 EQ/Portico 5043 Compressor by Rupert

Neve Designs, a U76 Compressor, an Opt-2A Leveling

Amplifier, etc.

Sonic flexibility from versatile effects

and GEQ rack

Independent of the PREMIUM RACK, high-quality

multi-effect processors are built into your QL series

console, with up to eight available simultaneously.

Effects such as reverb, delay, multiband compression,

and various modulation effects can be routed via internal

buses or inserted into the desired channel.

In addition to the effects, the QL series features a GEQ

rack. This includes a 31-band graphic EQ, a Flex15GEQ,

and an Automixer function–each of which can be

inserted into any channel or bus. The Flex15GEQ allows

you to adjust the gain for any 15 of the 31 bands.

Automixer allows you to reduce noise and maintain

feedback margins, by automating the gain distribution for

multiple microphones, freeing the operator from making

constant fader adjustments. To use effects or the graphic

EQ, you mount them in virtual racks displayed on the

touch screen. The currently-mounted modules can be

seen at a glance, and you can switch modules and

change input/output patching in an intuitive manner.

An overview of the QL series

Owner’s Manual

I/O card and processing card

expansion

The rear panel provides two slots in which separately

sold mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. You can add

inputs and outputs by installing AD cards, DA cards, or

digital I/O cards in these slots. You can also expand

processing or effects by installing a DSP card.

Cascade connections in the digital

domain

You can cascade a second QL series unit or another

digital mixer, such as the Yamaha CL series, M7CL,

PM5D or LS9, connected via a digital I/O card installed

in a slot or a Dante connector. (Cascade connections via

a Dante connector are possible only between QL series

consoles.) You can cascade any of the MIX, MATRIX,

STEREO (L/R), MONO, and CUE (L/R) buses.

Recorder function useful for sound

checks and mix recording

The QL series features a USB memory recorder function

that enables you to record output from STEREO or MIX

buses onto a USB flash drive. It also enables you to play

audio files that reside on a USB flash drive by assigning

the files to input channels or monitor outputs. The MP3

format (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) is supported for

recording. For playback, MP3, WMA (Windows Media

Audio), and MPEG-4 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)

formats are supported. This function can be useful if you

want to record certain bus mix outputs or play music for

a sound check through speakers.

Security functions at user or system

level

Functionality can be restricted for users other than the

administrator at three levels of security: administrator,

guest, and user. Passwords can be specified for the

administrator and for users to help prevent important

settings from being changed accidentally.

Information specific to each user (user level, system

settings, and user-defined key/knob settings) can be

stored on the unit or on a USB flash drive as a

“user

authentication key.

” By loading your own user

authentication key, you can instantly reconfigure the unit

for your own ideal operating environment.

Help file downloadable to the unit

You can download from the website a Help file that

explains the parameters and messages displayed on the

screen. Once you load the Help file, it will be stored

inside the unit so that you can use the Help function at

any time.

About network connections

About Dante

This product features Dante technology as a protocol to

transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol

developed by Audinate. It is designed to deliver

multi-channel audio signals at various sampling and bit

rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit

Ethernet (GbE) network. Dante also offers the following

benefits:

• It transmits up to 512 in/512 out, for a total 1024

channels (in theory) of audio over a GbE network.

(The QL series features QL5: 64 in/64 out, QL1: 32

in/32 out with a 24/32-bit resolution.)

• Dante-enabled devices will automatically configure

their network interfaces and find each other on the

network. You can label Dante devices and their audio

channels with descriptive names that make sense to

you.

•

Dante uses high accuracy network synchronization

standards to achieve sample-accurate playback with

extremely low latency and jitter. Five types of latency

are offered by the QL series: 0.25 msec, 0.5 msec, 1.0

msec, 2.0 msec, and 5.0 msec.

• A primary circuit and a secondary circuit provide

redundancy in the event of a problem.

• Connecting a Dante-enabled device to a computer

using an Ethernet connection enables you to directly

input or output audio signals without using any audio

interface devices.

• Audio can be transferred over distances up to 100

meters* between devices using CAT5e network

cables.

* Maximum practical distance may vary according to

the cable used.

Visit the Audinate website for more details on Dante.

http://www.audinate.com/

More information on Dante is also posted on the Yamaha

Pro Audio website:

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

NOTE

Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches

in a Dante network.

Although power management should be negotiated

automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches

do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause

EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not

appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance

and occasional dropouts.

Therefore we strongly recommend that:

• If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow

EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on

all ports used for real-time Dante traffic.

• If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use

network switches that support the EEE function, since

EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches.

* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that

reduces switch power consumption during periods of

low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet

and IEEE802.3az.

About Dante Controller

Dante Controller is a software application that allows

configuration and audio routing of Dante networks. Use

this application if you wish to set up complicated signal

routings on a Dante network. More information is posted

on the following website.

Connecting to I/O devices

This section explains how to connect the QL series to I/O

devices (such as Rio3224-D) in a daisy chain network

and in a star network (redundant network). Before

connecting I/O devices, first perform “Setting up the

Dante network” (see page 34) and then turn off the

power to the QL series console.

Daisy chain network

A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in which multiple

devices are connected together in sequence. With this

method, networking is simple and requires no network

switches. This connection method is suitable for a

simple system with a small number of devices.

However, if a large number of devices are connected in

this way, the latency value must be increased. Also, if a

connection is broken in a daisy chain network, the signal

flow is interrupted at that point and no signal will be

transferred beyond that point.

Connecting to I/O devices

Owner’s Manual

 Connecting QL series consoles and I/O

devices

Use the Dante connectors on the QL series console and

I/O devices to connect them as follows.

 Setting rotary switches and DIP switches on

the I/O devices

Star network (redundant network)

In a star network, each device is connected to a central

switch. Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables

you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network. We

recommend a network switch that gives you the ability to

control and monitor the network (such as QoS, the

ability to assign priority to data flows - e.g., clock

synchronization or audio transmission on certain data

circuits).

With this topology, it is common to configure a redundant

network so that communication can continue without

affecting the audio even if an unexpected network

problem should occur.

About redundant networks

A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary

circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network

operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary

connection is broken, the secondary circuit will

automatically take over communications. Therefore,

using a redundant network with a star topology is better

for increasing communication stability compared to a

daisy chain network.

 Connecting QL series consoles and I/O

devices

Use the Dante connectors on the QL series console and

I/O devices to connect them as follows.

Audio input/output

connections

Analog input connections

INPUT jacks on the console and I/O devices are used

mainly to connect microphones or monaural line-level

devices.

Analog output connections

To the OMNI OUT jacks on the QL series and the

OUTPUT jacks on I/O devices, you can patch the output

signals from output channels [MIX, MATRIX, STEREO

(L/R), MONO (C)], monitor signals (MONITOR OUT

L/R/C channels), and the direct out signals of the input

channels. For information about patches, refer to

“Patching the mixer output to the I/O device” (see

page 35) in the Quick Guide section.

The console’s front panel has a PHONES OUT jack for

monitoring, and this jack always lets you monitor the

signal that is selected as the monitoring source. By

assigning the MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels to the

desired output jacks, you can also monitor the same

signal through external speakers.

Installing an optional card

Owner’s Manual

Port-to-port function

The port-to-port function enables direct patching

between input ports and output ports. With this function,

the QL analog inputs and outputs can be directly routed

to/from external Dante devices without passing through

the mixing channels. If both a monitor console and I/O

device are required on the side of a stage, a single QL

series console can achieve both functions, reducing the

necessary equipment. In addition, by setting the QL

series as a remote I/O device as well as a monitor

console, the FOH console can share and remotely

control the head amps.

Digital input/output connections

Use the DIGITAL OUT jack to send the QL’s internal

signals to an external digital audio device. When the QL

is in the default state, the output signal of the STEREO

channel is patched to the DIGITAL OUT jack, which

enables you to record the main mix onto a CD recorder

or other device.

You can connect this jack to the AES/EBU jack on an I/O

device, such as Rio3224-D. Also, by installing separately

sold mini-YGDAI I/O cards in slots 1–2, you can add

input/output jacks to the QL or connect speaker

processor units.

Installing an optional card

Before you install I/O cards in slots 1–2, you must check

the Yamaha website to determine whether the card is

compatible with the QL series, and to verify the total

number of Yamaha or third-party cards that can be

installed in combination with that card.

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

Follow the steps below to install an optional mini-YGDAI

card.

1. Make sure that the power is turned off.

Caution

Before connecting a separately sold mini-YGDAI I/O

card to the QL, make sure to turn off the power switch

of the console’s power supply. Otherwise,

malfunctions or electric shock may occur.

2. Loosen the screws that fasten the slot, and

remove the slot cover.

Keep the cover and fixing screws in a safe place for

future use.

3. Align both edges of the card with the guide rails

inside the slot, and insert the card into the slot.

Push the card all the way into the slot so that the

connector at the end of the card is correctly

inserted into the connector inside the slot.

NOTE

When installing a card, carefully align both edges of the

card with the guide rails in the slot of the device.

4. Fasten the card using the screws attached to the

card.

Be aware that damage or malfunctions may occur

if the card is not fastened.

This section explains the general procedures in a mixing

work flow. The example below is based on a system in

which one QL5, one I/O device, an amplifier and

speakers are connected. If there are multiple methods to

achieve the same result, this section describes the

simplest method.

For details on the functions and their parameters, refer

to the Reference Manual.

NOTE

• The phantom power master switch on the I/O device must

be turned on first.

• Make sure that phantom power is turned OFF unless it is

needed.

• When turning phantom power ON, make sure that no

equipment other than phantom-powered devices such

condenser microphones are connected to the

corresponding INPUT connectors. Applying phantom

power to a device that does not require phantom power can

damage the connected device.

• Do not connect or disconnect a device to an INPUT while

phantom power is applied. Doing so can damage the

connected device and/or the unit itself.

• To prevent possible damage to speakers, make sure that

power amplifiers and/or powered speakers are turned OFF

when switching phantom power ON or OFF. We also

recommend setting all digital mixing console output

controls to minimum when turning phantom power ON or

OFF. Sudden high level peaks caused by the switching

operation can damage equipment as well as the hearing of

those present.

 Could you have assigned an input channel to direct

out?

 Could you have assigned an output channel as the

insert out?

The volume of a specific channel rises and falls.

 Could DYNAMICS 1/2 be set to ducking or to an

extreme parameter value?

Operating a fader does not control the level as you

expect.

 Could the function access area indicate MIX/MTRX

ON FADER? And could SENDS ON FADER mode

be engaged?

Only the sound of a specific channel is heard from

the MONITOR OUT or PHONES jack.

 Could a [CUE] key be on?

Noise occurs from an externally connected recorder

or other device.

 Is the word clock set correctly?

 Could the input signal be unsynchronized?

 Could the oscillator or talkback be turned on?

High frequency range is attenuated.

 Could emphasis be applied? This problem will occur

if the input signal status does not match the empha-

sis data.

 Could EQ be applied?

Troubleshooting

Owner’s Manual

There is insufficient headroom, especially when EQ

boost is applied.

 Use the EQ attenuator function to lower the level.

An input signal is being input, but there is no

monitor output.

 Could the DIMMER be applied?

 Could the MONITOR CH be assigned even though

its output port has not been connected to an external

device?

Signal is delayed.

 Check whether the delay setting for each INPUT

channel and OUTPUT PORT is set correctly.

Rotating a MIX knob does not change the send level

to the MIX bus.

 Is the TO MIX SEND ON/OFF button turned on?

 Is the MIX [ON] key turned on?

 Is the MIX bus set to VARI type?

 If the send point is set to POST, could the fader have

been lowered?

Cannot save scene memory or various library data.

 Are you attempting to save the data to a read-only

scene/library or a protected scene?

 Could user level restrictions have been specified?

Cannot save to a USB flash drive.

 Could the USB flash drive be protected?

 Does the USB flash drive have enough free capacity

to save the data?



When formatting the USB flash drive, format it in

FAT32 or FAT16 format.

 Could the recorder be playing back?

Cannot transmit or receive MIDI data.

 Is the MIDI PORT selected correctly?

 Are the transmission and reception modes and chan-

nels selected correctly?

 Has an event corresponding to the particular Pro-

gram Change message been specified?

When you recall a scene, some channels/parameters

are not updated.

 Could that channel or parameter be set to Recall

Safe?

 Could FOCUS be set in such a way that the channels

or parameters will not be updated?

 Could user level restrictions have been specified?

You turn on a CUE button in the EFFECT EDIT screen,

but it is automatically defeated.

 This is defeated automatically when you switch

screens in the display.

When you recall a scene, it takes a certain amount of

time for the faders to stop.

 Could you have specified a fade time?

The panel LEDs or LCD display are too dark/too

bright.

 This can be adjusted in the SETUP screen.

Signal level of a specific frequency is low.

 Could the EQ gain be turned down excessively?

 Routing a signal through a GEQ or EFFECT will

delay it relative to other signals. If this signal is mixed

with another signal that is routed via a different signal

path, a comb filtering effect will cause the level of a

specific frequency to be decreased.

Cannot control an I/O device.

 Are the rotary switch and DIP switches on the I/O

devices set correctly?

 Does the channel being controlled match the chan-

nel on the I/O device?

Cannot control the QL unit from QL Editor.

 Is the computer connected to the unit’s Network jack

correctly?

 Is the network setting on the QL unit specified cor-

rectly?

 For details on settings, refer to the QL Editor installa-

tion guide posted on our website.

Cannot control the QL unit from StageMix.

 Is the WiFi setting in QL StageMix set correctly?

 Is the unit’s Network jack on the QL unit connected to

the WiFi access point correctly?

 Is the network setting on the QL unit specified cor-

rectly?

 Refer to the QL StageMix Owner’s Manual on our

website.

In the LCD display, there are some black points

(unlit) or white points (always lit).

 Unfortunately, this is a common characteristic of

TFT-LCDs. This is not a malfunction.

In the channel name display, because of the response

speed of the GR meter display on each channel’s

voice input and output, the indication may be weak

or different than expected.

 This is a common characteristic of LCDs and not a

malfunction. Depending on the input source, this

phenomenon may be more pronounced.

Load the file on the unit, then press the Help button on the display to view related sections. You can download the Reference Manual and Help file from the following website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ Conventions in this manual In this manual, switch-type controllers on the panel are called “keys.” Control knobs on the panel are called “knobs.” Some knobs rotate from a minimum value to a maximum value, while others rotate endlessly. Virtual buttons displayed on the screen are called “buttons,” and virtual knobs are called “knobs.” Controls located on the panel are enclosed in square brackets [ ] (e.g., [CUE] key) to distinguish them from virtual buttons and knobs displayed on screen. For some controls, the name of the section is given before the [ ] (e.g., SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key). An overview of the QL series An overview of the QL series The Dante Virtual Soundcard software enables you to carry out multi-channel recording to DAW software installed on a computer. Consequently, no other audio interface is needed. Integration of mixer and I/O device with port-to-port functionality Features QL series digital mixing consoles create high-quality, refined, live-sound environments. These consoles carry forward the digital evolution of a broad array of advanced concepts that helps to make the consoles easy and intuitive to use. The built-in effect processor and an optional I/O devices can accommodate the most demanding situations at the highest level of quality, while retaining the flexibility necessary to configure a system that meets your needs. Direct “port-to-port” patching functionality between input ports and output ports allows direct routing of QL analog inputs and outputs to/from external Dante devices without passing through the mixing channels. Further, you can remotely control the head amps from other CL series and QL series consoles, allowing QL series consoles to be used as remote I/O devices. You can use recall safe in the port to port function to remove a head amp from scene recall in QL series consoles so that it is controlled only from another CL series or QL series console. User interface friendly to newcomers but familiar to seasoned users Ultra-realistic digital reproduction of analog sound by PREMIUM RACK The Selected Channel section located to the right of the display lets you use the knobs to control the main parameters (gain, EQ, dynamics threshold, etc.) for a particular channel. This section can be operated much like a module in an analog mixer. The display is a touch screen. You can turn functions on or off or select items simply by touching buttons or knobs on the screen. You can use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the parameters of the selected knob. Groups of channels routed to the top-panel faders can be selected and switched easily in a “Fader Bank”. The Fader Bank holds input and output channel banks, as well as custom fader banks. The custom fader banks enable you to select various combinations of channels, regardless of channel types. Each channel strip offers easy visual identification. The channel name appears on a display, and an indicator shows the channel color. You can adjust the brightness of each indicator across a broad range to accommodate dimly-lit environments. Mix parameter settings, including gain and phantom power for input channels, can be stored and recalled as “scenes.” All faders on the panel are moving faders. When you recall a scene, the recorded fader locations will be reproduced immediately. The QL series features PREMIUM RACK, which employs VCM technology. This technology models analog circuitry on a component level to faithfully reproduce amazing analog sounds. PREMIUM RACK creates authentic sounds by modeling and faithfully capturing the sonic characteristics of analog circuitry fine-tuned to be faithful to the original sound. The QL’s PREMIUM RACK includes six models, including a Portico 5033 EQ/Portico 5043 Compressor by Rupert Neve Designs, a U76 Compressor, an Opt-2A Leveling Amplifier, etc. Flexible system configuration with Dante The Ethernet-compatible Dante audio network protocol facilitates connecting QL series consoles to external devices, such as the Rio3224-D I/O device. A connected I/O device that has been assigned a unique unit ID will automatically be recognized and will facilitate patching functions. Using an I/O rack, you can configure a redundant network to defend against unforeseen difficulties that can arise in large-scale Dante networks. If multiple QL units share the same I/O device, the gain compensation function will maintain network audio streams at a constant level to help you enjoy the benefits of a large-scale sound system. Sonic flexibility from versatile effects and GEQ rack Independent of the PREMIUM RACK, high-quality multi-effect processors are built into your QL series console, with up to eight available simultaneously. Effects such as reverb, delay, multiband compression, and various modulation effects can be routed via internal buses or inserted into the desired channel. In addition to the effects, the QL series features a GEQ rack. This includes a 31-band graphic EQ, a Flex15GEQ, and an Automixer function–each of which can be inserted into any channel or bus. The Flex15GEQ allows you to adjust the gain for any 15 of the 31 bands. Automixer allows you to reduce noise and maintain feedback margins, by automating the gain distribution for multiple microphones, freeing the operator from making constant fader adjustments. To use effects or the graphic EQ, you mount them in virtual racks displayed on the touch screen. The currently-mounted modules can be seen at a glance, and you can switch modules and change input/output patching in an intuitive manner. Owner’s Manual 9 An overview of the QL series I/O card and processing card expansion The rear panel provides two slots in which separately sold mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. You can add inputs and outputs by installing AD cards, DA cards, or digital I/O cards in these slots. You can also expand processing or effects by installing a DSP card. Cascade connections in the digital domain You can cascade a second QL series unit or another digital mixer, such as the Yamaha CL series, M7CL, PM5D or LS9, connected via a digital I/O card installed in a slot or a Dante connector. (Cascade connections via a Dante connector are possible only between QL series consoles.) You can cascade any of the MIX, MATRIX, STEREO (L/R), MONO, and CUE (L/R) buses. About the models The QL series is available in two models: QL5 and QL1. Model differences are shown in the table below. Analog inputs Analog outputs Monaural input channels QL5 32 16 64 Block A/B: 32 Master section: 2 QL1 16 8 32 Block A/B: 16 Master section: 2 Channel strips • QL5 Recorder function useful for sound checks and mix recording The QL series features a USB memory recorder function that enables you to record output from STEREO or MIX buses onto a USB flash drive. It also enables you to play audio files that reside on a USB flash drive by assigning the files to input channels or monitor outputs. The MP3 format (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) is supported for recording. For playback, MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio), and MPEG-4 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) formats are supported. This function can be useful if you want to record certain bus mix outputs or play music for a sound check through speakers. Block A/B Master section • QL1 Security functions at user or system level Functionality can be restricted for users other than the administrator at three levels of security: administrator, guest, and user. Passwords can be specified for the administrator and for users to help prevent important settings from being changed accidentally. Information specific to each user (user level, system settings, and user-defined key/knob settings) can be stored on the unit or on a USB flash drive as a “user authentication key.” By loading your own user authentication key, you can instantly reconfigure the unit for your own ideal operating environment. Help file downloadable to the unit You can download from the website a Help file that explains the parameters and messages displayed on the screen. Once you load the Help file, it will be stored inside the unit so that you can use the Help function at any time. 10 Owner’s Manual Block A/B Master section Controls and functions Controls and functions Top panel The top panel of the QL series is divided into the following sections. 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 (Block A/B) 8 1 Channel Strip section  page 12 2 SENDS ON FADER section  page 12 3 Display section  page 13 4 Selected Channel section  page 13 5 USB connector  page 15 6 USER DEFINED KEYS section  page 14 7 FADER BANK section  page 14 8 Master section  page 14 NOTE This illustration shows the top panel of the QL5.

Owner’s Manual 21 Basic operation of the QL series Basic operation of the QL series This section explains the basic operations of the QL series. QL series operations are divided into two main categories. In general, you will operate the QL series for mixing using a combination of these operations. • Controlling selected channels (Selected Channel section) • Using the faders on the top panel (Channel Strip section) Using the top panel (Channel Strip section) The Channel Strip section of the top panel enables you to control the level, CUE, and other parameters for the selected channels. 1. Use the Bank Select keys located in the Fader Bank section to select the channels or DCA groups that you want to control. 2. Use the controls of the Channel Strip section. Each channel’s display indicates the currently assigned channel information. Custom fader bank settings Controlling selected channels (Selected Channel section) The Selected Channel section located at the right of the display corresponds to a channel module of a conventional analog mixer, and allows you to manually adjust all the major parameters of the currently selected channel. Operations in this section will affect the channel that was most recently selected by its [SEL] key. 1. Press the appropriate Bank Select key (in the FADER BANK section) of the bank containing the channel that you want to control. Select one of the preset or custom fader banks in the Channel Strip section. 2. Press the [SEL] key to select the target channel. 3. Press one of the knobs in the Selected Channel section. The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen for the selected channel will appear. You can view the actual setting values on screen. 4. Use the knobs of the Selected Channel section and the buttons in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen to edit the parameters of the selected channel. Even if a different screen is selected, the currently-selected channel can be set using the knobs of the Selected Channel section. In this case, a mini window indicating the value of that parameter will appear on screen when you operate a knob. The B1, B2, B3, and B4 keys in the Fader Bank section enable you to assign and recall a bank with your own assortment of the channels or DCA groups. These banks are called “custom fader banks.” Since the custom fader banks enable you to assign a combination of different types of channels, you can control different types of channels as a group. 1. In the function access area, press the SETUP button. 2. Press the USER SETUP button in the upper left of the SETUP screen. 3. Press the CUSTOM FADER tab near the bottom of the USER SETUP screen. The CUSTOM FADER BANK/MASTER FADER page will appear. 4. Select the custom fader bank you want to set. The channel strip is divided into 1–16, 17–24 (QL5 only), and Master, from the left side of the console. 5. Press the Fader select button you want to set, then press the [SEL] key for the channel that you want to assign to that fader. You can also select a channel in the display. Press the button below the desired number to display the CH SELECT screen. Use the list in the left column to select the desired channel group, then use the buttons in the right column to select channels. 22 Owner’s Manual Assigning a name 6. To assign channels to other faders, repeat step 5. 4. Repeat steps 1–3 to adjust the send level for other MIX/MATRIX buses in the same way. 7. When you have finished, press the X symbol in the upper right corner of the screen, and press the SETUP button again to return to the SELECT CHANNEL VIEW screen. 5. When you’ve finished setting the MIX/MATRIX send levels, press the key that is flashing in the SENDS ON FADER section. The function access area display will return to its prior state, and the unit will return to normal mode. Adjusting the send level to a MIX bus or MATRIX bus (SENDS ON FADER mode) NOTE You can also use the buttons in the function access area to switch and select buses. 1 ON FADER switch button Pressing this button repeatedly will switch between MIX and MATRIX. 2 MIX/MATRIX bus select buttons These buttons enable you to select the destination MIX/MATRIX buses. Two buses that are paired in stereo are represented by one button. Each fader on the top panel enables you to adjust the level of the corresponding channel, as well as the send level of the signal routed from each channel to the specified MIX/MATRIX bus (SENDS ON FADER mode). 1. Press the key for the MIX/MATRIX bus to be used to adjust the SENDS ON FADER section. The LED of the selected key LED will light. 1 2 Assigning a name 2. Press the same key of the SENDS ON FADER section once again. The QL will switch to SENDS ON FADER mode. The key will change from lit to flashing, and the LEDs of the other keys in the SENDS ON FADER section will light. The faders in the Channel Strip section will change to indicate the send level of the signals that are routed from each channel to the currently selected MIX/MATRIX bus. On the QL series, you can assign a name to each input channel, output channel, DCA group, and MUTE group, and assign a title to scene and library data when saving it. To assign a name, you will use the keyboard window that is shown in the main area. 1. Call up the keyboard window (from a naming-relevant operation). Below is an example of how to assign a name to a channel. The box shows the characters you have entered and a cursor that indicates the current position. NOTE • If the function for switching between MIX 1–16 and MATRIX 1–8 is assigned to a USER DEFINED key, you can switch between the two areas. • Alternatively, press a SEND LEVEL knob in the Selected Channel section to display the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW window, from which you can select a MIX/MATRIX bus. • You can also select a MIX/MATRIX bus by using the Bank Select key [MIX/MATRIX] in the Fader Bank section. • If you press the currently selected MIX/MATRIX bus select button again, cue monitoring will be turned on for the related MIX/MATRIX channel. This method is convenient if you want to monitor the signal that is being sent to the selected MIX/MATRIX bus. 3. Press the Bank Select key in the Fader Bank section, including the input channel being operated, and use the fader to adjust the send level to the selected MIX/MATRIX bus. Owner’s Manual 23 Basic operation of the QL series 2. Press the keyboard window in the touch screen to enter the desired characters. While entering characters, you can use the following buttons in the keyboard window. • COPY button Copies the string of characters that are selected (highlighted) in the text box. • CUT button Deletes and copies the string of characters that are selected (highlighted) in the text box. • PASTE button Inserts the string of characters copied by COPY or CUT at the cursor location (or overwrites the currently selected range of characters). • CLEAR button Erases all characters that were entered in the text input box. Using libraries You can use libraries to store (save) or recall (load) the settings of the currently selected channel (EQ/dynamics) or rack (GEQ/effect/premium rack). The method of operation is essentially the same for each library. The following libraries are provided. • Input channel library • Output channel library • Input EQ library • Output EQ library • Dynamics library • GEQ library • Effect library • Dante input patch library • Premium Rack library NOTE • INS button Inserts a space (blank) at the cursor position. • DEL button Deletes the character at the right of the cursor (or the string of characters selected in the text box). • BS (Backspace) button Deletes the character at the left of the cursor (or the string of characters selected in the text box). • TAB button Switches to the next item that can be selected. For example in the SCENE STORE window you can use this button to switch between two text input boxes, and in the PATCH/NAME window you can use this to switch channels. • SHIFT LOCK button Switches between uppercase and lowercase alphabetical characters. You can enter uppercase characters and symbols while this button is on, and lowercase characters and numerals while this button is off. • ENTER button Finalizes the name you entered. 3. When you’ve entered the name, press the STORE button or the ENTER button. The name you entered will be applied. NOTE • The basic procedure is the same in the windows that let you assign names to channels or other types of library data. When you enter a name for a channel, your input will be reflected immediately without pressing the ENTER button. • Press in the text entry box to move the input position. If you select a region of characters you’ve entered in the box and then enter a new character, the newly entered character will overwrite the selected region. 24 Owner’s Manual Premium Rack library features a library for each Premium Rack type.  Recalling settings from a library 1.

Owner’s Manual 29 Connection Connection About network connections About Dante Controller Dante Controller is a software application that allows configuration and audio routing of Dante networks. Use this application if you wish to set up complicated signal routings on a Dante network. More information is posted on the following website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ About Dante This product features Dante technology as a protocol to transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol developed by Audinate. It is designed to deliver multi-channel audio signals at various sampling and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network. Dante also offers the following benefits: • It transmits up to 512 in/512 out, for a total 1024 channels (in theory) of audio over a GbE network. (The QL series features QL5: 64 in/64 out, QL1: 32 in/32 out with a 24/32-bit resolution.) • Dante-enabled devices will automatically configure their network interfaces and find each other on the network. You can label Dante devices and their audio channels with descriptive names that make sense to you. • Dante uses high accuracy network synchronization standards to achieve sample-accurate playback with extremely low latency and jitter. Five types of latency are offered by the QL series: 0.25 msec, 0.5 msec, 1.0 msec, 2.0 msec, and 5.0 msec. • A primary circuit and a secondary circuit provide redundancy in the event of a problem. • Connecting a Dante-enabled device to a computer using an Ethernet connection enables you to directly input or output audio signals without using any audio interface devices. • Audio can be transferred over distances up to 100 meters* between devices using CAT5e network cables. * Maximum practical distance may vary according to the cable used. Visit the Audinate website for more details on Dante. http://www.audinate.com/ More information on Dante is also posted on the Yamaha Pro Audio website: http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ NOTE Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network. Although power management should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts. Therefore we strongly recommend that: • If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic. • If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function, since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches. * EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az. 30 Owner’s Manual Connecting to I/O devices This section explains how to connect the QL series to I/O devices (such as Rio3224-D) in a daisy chain network and in a star network (redundant network). Before connecting I/O devices, first perform “Setting up the Dante network” (see page 34) and then turn off the power to the QL series console. Daisy chain network A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices are connected together in sequence. With this method, networking is simple and requires no network switches. This connection method is suitable for a simple system with a small number of devices. However, if a large number of devices are connected in this way, the latency value must be increased. Also, if a connection is broken in a daisy chain network, the signal flow is interrupted at that point and no signal will be transferred beyond that point. Connecting to I/O devices  Connecting QL series consoles and I/O devices Use the Dante connectors on the QL series console and I/O devices to connect them as follows. using a redundant network with a star topology is better for increasing communication stability compared to a daisy chain network.  Connecting QL series consoles and I/O devices Use the Dante connectors on the QL series console and I/O devices to connect them as follows.

Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network. We recommend a network switch that gives you the ability to control and monitor the network (such as QoS, the ability to assign priority to data flows - e.g., clock synchronization or audio transmission on certain data circuits). With this topology, it is common to configure a redundant network so that communication can continue without affecting the audio even if an unexpected network problem should occur. About redundant networks A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary connection is broken, the secondary circuit will automatically take over communications. Therefore, Owner’s Manual 31 Connection Audio input/output connections Analog input connections INPUT jacks on the console and I/O devices are used mainly to connect microphones or monaural line-level devices. QL series Analog output connections To the OMNI OUT jacks on the QL series and the OUTPUT jacks on I/O devices, you can patch the output signals from output channels [MIX, MATRIX, STEREO (L/R), MONO (C)], monitor signals (MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels), and the direct out signals of the input channels. For information about patches, refer to “Patching the mixer output to the I/O device” (see page 35) in the Quick Guide section. The console’s front panel has a PHONES OUT jack for monitoring, and this jack always lets you monitor the signal that is selected as the monitoring source. By assigning the MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels to the desired output jacks, you can also monitor the same signal through external speakers.

Owner’s Manual 47 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting A FAQ section is available on the Yamaha Pro Audio site. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ Power does not turn on; panel LEDs and the LCD display do not light.  Is the QL’s power switch turned on?  Is the power cable connected to a proper AC outlet?  Is the power cable plug inserted all the way - has it clicked and locked in securely?  If the power still does not turn on, contact your Yamaha dealer. The unit is not receiving an input signal.  Did you correctly set the UNIT ID and the DIP switches on the I/O device connected to the QL before turning on the power to the devices?  Is the DANTE SETUP for the unit appropriate?  Are the source devices delivering an appropriate signal?  Is the SIG indicator on the I/O device lit?  If a phantom-powered microphone is connected to the QL unit, are the I/O device’s +48V MASTER switch, QL’s +48V MASTER ON/OFF switch, and +48V button of each channel set to on?  Is the GAIN of the internal head amp, external head amp, or I/O device set to an appropriate level?  Is the input port patched to an input channel?  Is the [ON] key indicator of the input channel lit?  Is the fader of the input channel raised?  Are EQ’s attenuators raised?  Could the insert be turned on even though it has not been specified correctly?  If you are using an optional I/O card, is it installed correctly? Sound is not output from headphones or the MONITOR OUT jacks.  Is the [PHONES] knob or monitor level set to an appropriate volume?  Is the monitor fader set to an appropriate level?  Has the monitoring source been selected?  Could the DIMMER be applied? Sound is distorted.  Is the word clock set correctly?  Is the GAIN of the internal head amp, external head amp, or I/O device set to an appropriate level?  Was Gain Compensation turned on when analog gain is not appropriate? Or, was the analog gain raised to an extreme while the Gain Compensation is turned on?  First turn the Gain Compensation function off, set the analog gain to an appropriate level, and then turn Gain Compensation back on.  Could the digital gain be set to an extremely high setting?  Could the fader of the input channel be raised too high?  Could the STEREO channel fader be raised too high?  Could the EQ gain be set to an extremely high setting?  Is the latency set too low on the DANTE SETUP screen? Sound is output even though it is not patched to an output channel.  Could you have assigned an input channel to direct out?  Could you have assigned an output channel as the insert out? The volume of a specific channel rises and falls.  Could DYNAMICS 1/2 be set to ducking or to an extreme parameter value? Operating a fader does not control the level as you expect.  Could the function access area indicate MIX/MTRX ON FADER? And could SENDS ON FADER mode be engaged? Only the sound of a specific channel is heard from the MONITOR OUT or PHONES jack.  Press the MONITOR button, then check the MONITOR area on the display.  Could a [CUE] key be on? The sound level is too low. Noise occurs from an externally connected recorder or other device.  Is the GAIN or digital gain on the head amplifier, external head amp device or I/O device set to an appropriate level?  Is the fader of the input channel raised?  Could the EQ gain be turned down excessively?  Are EQ’s attenuators raised?  Could the GATE/COMP threshold or ratio setting be set to an extreme value?  Is the fader of the output channel raised?  Try using the various screens of the METER function to check the levels. 48  Is the DCA fader assigned to that channel raised?  Could MUTE MASTER be turned on for the channel assigned to a MUTE group? Owner’s Manual  Is the word clock set correctly?  Could the input signal be unsynchronized?  Could the oscillator or talkback be turned on? High frequency range is attenuated.  Could emphasis be applied? This problem will occur if the input signal status does not match the emphasis data.  Could EQ be applied? Troubleshooting There is insufficient headroom, especially when EQ boost is applied. When you recall a scene, it takes a certain amount of time for the faders to stop.  Use the EQ attenuator function to lower the level.  Could you have specified a fade time? An input signal is being input, but there is no monitor output. The panel LEDs or LCD display are too dark/too bright.  Could the DIMMER be applied?  Could the MONITOR CH be assigned even though its output port has not been connected to an external device?  This can be adjusted in the SETUP screen. Signal is delayed.  Check whether the delay setting for each INPUT channel and OUTPUT PORT is set correctly. Rotating a MIX knob does not change the send level to the MIX bus.  Is the TO MIX SEND ON/OFF button turned on?  Is the MIX [ON] key turned on?  Is the MIX bus set to VARI type?  If the send point is set to POST, could the fader have been lowered? Signal level of a specific frequency is low.  Could the EQ gain be turned down excessively?  Routing a signal through a GEQ or EFFECT will delay it relative to other signals. If this signal is mixed with another signal that is routed via a different signal path, a comb filtering effect will cause the level of a specific frequency to be decreased. Cannot control an I/O device.  Are the rotary switch and DIP switches on the I/O devices set correctly?  Does the channel being controlled match the channel on the I/O device? Cannot control the QL unit from QL Editor. Cannot save scene memory or various library data.  Are you attempting to save the data to a read-only scene/library or a protected scene?  Could user level restrictions have been specified? Cannot save to a USB flash drive.  Could the USB flash drive be protected?  Does the USB flash drive have enough free capacity to save the data?  When formatting the USB flash drive, format it in FAT32 or FAT16 format.  Could the recorder be playing back? Cannot transmit or receive MIDI data.  Is the MIDI PORT selected correctly?  Are the transmission and reception modes and channels selected correctly?  Has an event corresponding to the particular Program Change message been specified? When you recall a scene, some channels/parameters are not updated.  Could that channel or parameter be set to Recall Safe?  Could FOCUS be set in such a way that the channels or parameters will not be updated?  Could user level restrictions have been specified?  Is the computer connected to the unit’s Network jack correctly?  Is the network setting on the QL unit specified correctly?  For details on settings, refer to the QL Editor installation guide posted on our website. Cannot control the QL unit from StageMix.  Is the WiFi setting in QL StageMix set correctly?  Is the unit’s Network jack on the QL unit connected to the WiFi access point correctly?  Is the network setting on the QL unit specified correctly?  Refer to the QL StageMix Owner’s Manual on our website. In the LCD display, there are some black points (unlit) or white points (always lit).  Unfortunately, this is a common characteristic of TFT-LCDs. This is not a malfunction. In the channel name display, because of the response speed of the GR meter display on each channel’s voice input and output, the indication may be weak or different than expected.  This is a common characteristic of LCDs and not a malfunction. Depending on the input source, this phenomenon may be more pronounced. You turn on a CUE button in the EFFECT EDIT screen, but it is automatically defeated.  This is defeated automatically when you switch screens in the display.
