VENUE Personal Q Guideiv

Chapter 1: Introduction 1

Chapter 1: Introduction

The VENUE Personal Q (PQ) system lets performers remotely

control their own monitor mixes on a VENUE system using ei-

ther a VENUE D-Show®Main or VENUE Profile™ console,

paired with a VENUE Stage Rack and a VENUE FOH Rack.

D-Show Main and Profile consoles provide eight built-in, 12 x

2 PQ mixers that can be used to create up to eight indepen-

dent stereo monitor mixes. After a PQ mixer is set up at the

mix position, it can be controlled by the mix engineer from

the Output section of the console, or by an onstage performer

using a PQ Controller.

The PQ system carries control data to and from the console, al-

lowing you to adjust PQ mixer input level, input pan/balance,

and output level. The PQ system does not carry audio signals;

audio signals for monitor mixes are output from any physical

outputs on the Stage Rack or FOH Rack.

Personal Q System Features

The Personal Q system provides remote operation of controls

on the console, and mirrors any changes made to the corre-

sponding controls on the console.

The Personal Q system consists of at least one PQ Rack and

one PQ Controller.

PQ Rack Features

• Provides connections for up to eight PQ Controllers

PQ Controller Features

• Four rotary encoder controls with LED rings for level,

pan/balance, solo, and metering of PQ mixer inputs

(1–8, L, R, and User Inputs)

• Four on/off switches for control of PQ mixer input on/off

status

• Rotary encoder control with LED ring for master volume of

PQ mixer output

• Four 6-character displays for input and control names

• Console call feature allows performer to activate call mes-

sage on console display

• Lockout feature allows performer or console operator to

temporarily lock out PQ Controller from control changes

Personal Q System Components

The following components are included in a Personal Q

system:

PQ Rack

•PQRackunit

•ACpowercord

• PQLinkCable(10ft/3m)

PQ Controller

(Up to 8 PQ Controllers can be connected to each PQ Rack)

• PQ Controller unit

• PQ Controller cable (50 ft/15 m)

System Expansion Options

The Personal Q system allows independent control of up to

eight individual PQ mixes.

PQ Racks In VENUE systems with two Stage Racks, one PQ

Rack can be connected to each Stage Rack, for a total of two

PQ Rack units. When two PQ Racks are used, dual control of

each PQ mix (up to a maximum of 8 available PQ mixers) is

possible. (This is useful when a single performer has two posi-

tions onstage.)

PQ Controllers Each PQ Rack can accommodate 8 PQ Control-

lers, for a maximum of 16 PQ Controllers (2 controllers for

each of the 8 available PQ mixers) on a VENUE system.

For more information on expansion options for VENUE sys-

tems, visit the Digidesign Web site (www.digidesign.com).

VENUE Personal Q Guide2

Operational Requirements

Temperature and Ventilation

VENUE system components should be operated away from

heat sources and with adequate ventilation.

Storage

VENUE system components should be stored and transported

at temperatures not lower than 0 degrees F (–18 degrees C)

and not exceeding 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Operation

VENUE system components should be operated at tempera-

tures not lower than 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and not ex-

ceeding 115 degrees F (46 degrees C).

Water and Moisture

VENUE system components should be operated away from

sources of direct moisture and should be kept clear of liquids

that might spill into the units.

If condensation is present on a VENUE system component,

leave the unit to dry in ambient air for at least one hour before

powering the unit on.

Cleaning and Maintenance

If you need to clean the surface of a VENUE system compo-

nent, use a dry cloth. Do not apply any cleaning solutions,

spray cleaners, or abrasives to the surface.

Connection Requirements

Power Connections

PQ Rack Each PQ Rack requires its own power connection.

Make sure your power source is correctly rated for the number

of units you are connecting. A surge protected power source

(not included) is highly recommended.

PQ Controllers Each PQ Controller is powered by the PQ Rack

through its PQ Controller cable connection.

Chapter 1: Introduction 3

PQ Rack Overview

PQ Rack Front Panel

PQ Controller Ports Each of the 8 PQ Controller Ports accepts a

male 4-pin PQ Controller cable, for connecting a PQ Control-

ler. The PQ Controller port numbers (1–8) correspond directly

to the PQ mixer number (1–8) that is controlled on-screen or

on the console.

PQ Link Connector The PQ Link connector accepts a female

4-pin PQ Link cable, for connecting the PQ Rack to a Stage

Rack. The maximum cable length for this connection is 15 ft

(4.6 m).

PQ Rack Power/Power Fault Indicators These indicators light

to show application of power (green) and any power fault or

interruption (red) for the PQ Rack.

PQ Connection Comm/Fault Indicators These indicators light

to show active communication to a PQ Controller (green) and

any connection fault or interruption (red), for the correspond-

ing PQ Controller port.

PQ Link Comm/Fault Indicators These indicators light to show

active communication between the PQ Rack and a Stage Rack

(green) and any connection fault or interruption (red).

PQ Rack Back Panel

AC Power Connector The AC power connector accepts a stan-

dard modular AC power cord. The PQ Rack power supply is

auto-power selecting (100V to 240V, 50 Hz to 60 Hz) and au-

tomatically works when connected to an AC receptacle in any

country.

Power Switch The Power switch applies power to the PQ Rack

and activates all PQ Controllers connected to the PQ Rack.

PQ Controller Overview

PQ Controller Top Panel

Encoder Displays The encoder displays show the name/value

of the PQ mixer input currently controlled by the correspond-

ing rotary encoder.

Rotary Encoders The rotary encoders control the currently dis-

played parameter (level or pan/balance) when turned, or solo

the currently displayed PQ mixer input when pressed. The en-

coder rings display input level or pan settings, or indicate in-

put meter levels, depending on the encoder mode.

On/Off Switches The On/Off switches turn the currently dis-

played PQ mixer input on or off.

Setup Switch The Setup switch puts the PQ Controller in

Setup mode, which displays the port number for the PQ Con-

troller, and lets you adjust display brightness and contrast on

the PQ Controller.

Inputs 1–4 Selector The Inputs 1–4 selector displays PQ mixer

inputs 1–4 on the rotary encoders and displays for adjusting

level and pan/balance.

Inputs 5–8 Selector The Inputs 5–8 selector displays PQ mixer

inputs 5–8 on the rotary encoders and displays for adjusting

level and pan/balance.

L/R/User Inputs Selector The L/R/User Inputs selector dis-

plays the Main Left, Main Right, Center/Mono, and user-as-

signable inputs on the rotary encoders and displays for adjust-

ing level and pan/balance.

Master Volume/Call Control The Master Volume/Call control

changes the PQ mixer output volume when turned, or raises a

call message on the console display when pressed.

Lockout Switch The Lockout switch temporarily locks the lo-

cal controls of the PQ Controller to prevent inadvertent

changes to controller settings. This function does not lock out

control of the PQ mixer from the console. The Lockout switch

lights when lockout is activated from the controller, and

flashes when lockout is activated from the console.

Encoder Mode Switch and Indicators The Encoder Mode

switch and indicators toggle control of input level, input

pan/balance, or input metering on the rotary encoders and

LEDs for the currently displayed input.
