1.2 Q-Rack Power
The Q-Rack has dual redundant power supplies. The rack should be operated with both power supplies on
whenever possible.
1.3 Q-Rack Clocking
The Q-Rack will receive clock sync from the connected console in normal operation. It can run at 48KHz or
96KHz when clocked by the console.
The MQ-Rack can also receive sync from its own internal clock- see section 1.5.13 Internal SR Menu.
1.4 Q-Rack Sockets
The Q-Racks have a set of 48 mic inputs and 24 line outputs, 4 of which can be changed to AES or line out via
the system settings on the rack.
Note: On Quantum consoles, the status of the 4 switchable Line Out/AES sockets can be viewed and
changed between AES and Line outputs in the Audio I/O panel.
Analogue Line/AES Output sockets ......................................
The 4 switchable output sockets (6, 12, 18 and 24) have a LED indicator light below the socket.
A blue light on one of the switchable AES/Line output sockets indicates that the socket is set to be an AES
output in its current state.

1.5 Using the Q-Rack Menu System
The LCD Menu System on the rack is normally in a locked state and cannot be accessed.
The main display will be visible and if the rack is not connected to a console the background colour will be light
blue with a band of red on the MQ-Rack and flashing red on the DQ-Rack.
If the rack is connected to a console the display will flash green.
MQ-Rack Lock screen
DQ-Rack Lock screen
Pressing and holding the 2 buttons marked with left and right arrows for 2 seconds unlocks the Menu System.
The Left/Right buttons scroll through the pages in the Menu System and the Up/Down buttons are used to
select each item within pages that have multiple items. When an item's value can be changed the Left/Right
arrows are used for this.
If the rack is left in an idle state for 2 minutes, it will relock itself.
Please refer to the following diagram for menu navigation details.
