If five or more QL units are connected to a network, and you plan not to assign IDs to
some of the units, press the OFF button of each of those units to turn off the ID.
3 SECONDARY PORT select buttons

6 BIT select buttons
Enable you to set the audio bit depth to 24-bit or 32-bit.
• 24bit.......................Use this when transmitting and receiving data to or from an R
series unit. When using a QL series system, you will normally use
this setting.
• 32bit.......................This is effective when transmitting and receiving 25-bit or larger
data (when using cascade or gain compensation), but the amount
of data being transmitted will increase 20–30% compared to 24-
bit.
7 LATENCY select buttons
Enable you to set the Dante audio network latency to 0.25 ms, 0.5 ms, 1.0 ms, 2.0 ms,
or 5.0 ms.
The latency setting varies depending on the network connection method and size. For
details, refer to “Setting the Dante audio network latency” on page 237.
8 DANTE PATCH BY select buttons
If the THIS CONSOLE button is selected, the DANTE INPUT PATCH and DANTE OUTPUT
PATCH settings can be edited from the QL series console.
If the DANTE CONTROLLER button is selected, it will not be possible to edit the Dante
patch settings. You can operate these buttons regardless of the state of the DANTE
PATCH BY select buttons on other CL/QL series consoles on the network.
9 PREFERRED MASTER button
If this button is turned ON, the console's status as a master is given greater priority in
the Dante audio network.
If this button is turned OFF, the console's status as a master is given less priority in the
Dante audio network.
• If there is only one QL console for which this button is turned ON, that console will become the
master.
• If there are multiple QL consoles for which this button is turned ON, only one of them will become
the master.
• If this button is turned OFF for all QL consoles, one unit out of all Dante devices, including I/O
devices, will become the master.
NOTE
• Settings that are shared with the I/O device (BIT/LATENCY/W.CLOCK) will reflect the settings of
the QL series console whose CONSOLE ID is set to #1.
• If the DANTE CONTROLLER button is selected in the DANTE PATCH BY section, and you
attempt to edit the Dante patching or related settings, the message “This Operation is Not
Allowed” will appear at the bottom of the screen.
• DANTE patch information is applied to the device if the QL settings file (file name extension .CLF)
is loaded under the following conditions. Otherwise, the information is not applied and the current
state will be maintained.
• In the SAVE/LOAD window (page 219), the WITH DANTE SETUP AND I/O DEVICE button is
on.
• Either #1, #2, #3, or #4 CONSOLE ID select button is on.
