Homework Completed
That’s it. You’ve done your homework. Of course you’ll need to adjust the input gain and get your mix levels at the gig but you’re way more than half-
way to a great, professional-sounding mix.
Sound Check
Before connecting anything, plug in your TouchMix and make sure that all the inputs and Auxiliary Outputs are muted. This will prevent uncontrolled
feedback if a microphone is patched into a hot channel.
To Mute Channels:
In each of the groups of faders, press the Mute button for all channels. Now you can connect the mixer to sources and speaker systems.
Level-Match Your QSC Speakers
If you’re using one of the following QSC Loudspeakers: OR your TouchMix tells you the optimum
input-gain setting for your loudspeaker.
For Main L/R:
For Aux 1-8:
In the popup all you need to do is touch the button associated with your loudspeaker,
and then adjust your loudspeakers as instructed.
You're probably wondering - why we recommend using input B. Input A has a switch
that adds gain for use with a direct microphone input. If this switch is set incorrectly
the speaker's input will be far too hot. Using input B eliminates the possibility of such a
mistake.
These settings will give you the optimum signal to noise performance and get the most
from your QSC powered speakers. The mixer’s output meters will reflect when you’re
“running out of speaker”. Note that you will see the “Limit” light on your speakers
illuminate as the mixer drives them harder during louder portions. This is normal and is
just the speaker’s internal DSP doing its job.
