Event Wave is pleased to announce the addition of the Yamaha QL1 console to our rental inventory.

Built on the Dante Network Audio Protocol, the Yamaha QL1 / Rio Stage Rack system provides a compact, powerful, and easy-to-use console and snake over a redundant CAT5 or fiber-optic connection.

Packed with many of the core features of the acclaimed CL Series, the Yamaha QL1 32-channel digital mixer is an ideal compact all-in-one solution for mixing, processing, and routing audio. Loaded with premium internal processors, including stellar-sounding EQ and dynamics tools developed in cooperation with Rupert Neve Designs, the QL1 will bring out the best sonic character in any source. With built-in automixing functionality, Dante network support, and remote control via your tablet or computer, the Yamaha QL1 is the perfect sound reinforcement solution for small- to medium-scale live sound, corporate speech events, broadcast, and more.

The QL1 provides the same pristine audio quality and powerful feature set as its big brother, the CL5, but in a smaller footprint, and with the flexibility of onboard analog inputs and outputs as well as Dante I/O.

The QL1 connects over CAT5 or fiber to our Yamaha Rio3224-D and Rio1608-D stage boxes. Other Dante enabled devices, such as our Shure ULX-D 4-channel digital wireless receivers and multi-track DAWs, can easily access the Dante network as well, maintaining a fully digital signal path throughout the audio system. These devices can easily be patched directly from the CL1 touch-screen, or from a Mac or PC.

Utilizing Yamaha’s Gain Compensation function, our QL and CL consoles can share the same stage racks and perform FOH and Monitor duties without the headache of analog audio splitters.
