Using the Device List
Device List
The Device list occupies the centre of the HiQnet Setup page, and will initially be completely empty. Once
HiQnet has been turned on, and a HiQnet network is attached to the console, the console will search for
any attached AKG microphones and display a list of the microphones found on the network in the left-
hand column of the Device List. Note: It may take up to 30 seconds to discover the mics.
The DEVICE column shows the names of all of the AKG microphones that have been discovered on the
network. This column is automatically populated.
The NET column in the list shows the HiQnet node address of the AKG Hub4000Q to which each
microphone is connected. In the example shown above there is only one Hub4000Q connected, but it is
possible for multiple Hub4000Qs to be connected to the network, and in this case the number in the NET
column will enable groups of mics attached to these different Hubs to be distinguished from one another.
The SOURCE column in the list indicates the connector to which each microphone is associated. In order
for the console to know on which channel strip to display the VM
2
monitoring information, it is necessary
to associate each of the microphone devices with a physical connector, which will correspond to the
connector that the microphone’s audio output is connected to.
The LOC button activates the Locate function on the selected AKG receiver. Pressing this will cause the
front panel display of the chosen receiver to ash, allowing it to be more easily identied among a rack of
others.
