CQ-18T

Setup and use Mute Groups and DCAs Mute Groups and DCA’s (Digitally Controlled Amplifiers) are similar and are used to control the mute and main send level for multiple channels at once. For example, a single mute button could be used to mute all inputs, or a single fader could be used to adjust the level of all FX. The CQ features four Mute Groups and four DCA’s which are always accessible in the PROCESSING and FADER screens MGrp/DCA bank.  Channels can be muted individually, by a Mute Group or by a DCA. In the case of the FX channels, they can also be muted by the ‘ Mute All FX ’ feature. The same logic is used by Mute Groups, DCA’s and Mute All FX – if any channel is not muted, the overall Mute button is shown as Off and pressing it will ensure all members are muted. It is only when all channels are muted that the button will be shown as On and pressing it will then unmute all members.

Setup a Mute Group or DCA

Go to the CONFIG / CONTROL & NETWORK screen and select either the Mute Groups or DCAs tab. Select one of the four Mute Groups or DCA’s from the left -hand side. Touch the currently selected Mute Group or DCA name again to rename it.
