QL1 Firmware V1.08 (Previous version)

  • Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network.
    Although power management should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts.

    Therefore we strongly recommend that:

    1. If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic.
    2. If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function, since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches.

    * EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az.
  • You need to update the Dante-MY16-AUD firmware to V3.3.9 or later before using the Dante-MY16-AUD with the QL series.
  • The Dante Firmware Update Manager v1.4.5.7 for Mac does not support Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please use Mac OS X 10.7.5, 10.8.5 or 10.9
    The Dante Firmware Update Manager v1.4.7.1 for Windows does not support Windows XP.
    Please use Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.
    If you update the device from the V1.02 firmware, the Dante firmware need not be updated.
  • When updating the firmware, follow the instructions described in the “QL5/QL1 Firmware Update Guide”. However, you do not need to update the Dante firmware if you update the QL firmware to V1.08.

    Before starting, delete all files with extensions .PGM and .BIN, if any, in the root directory of the USB memory. If you update with the particular CL V1.70 or later firmware file (C-MD1.BIN), for example, the TOUCH AND TURN knob will become unable to operate. In order to recover from this mistake, copy the downloaded QL firmware file "C-MD1.BIN" in the directory (/ql*_firm108/NAME SUB (* is the model number)) to the root directory of the USB memory, and re-update.

CL/QL/RIVAGE/R/Tio Series Editor/Firmware/R Remote Compatibility

Please make sure to use appropriate version of CL Editor or QL Editor which is compatible with your console firmware in reference to the following compatibility chart. Using an unsupported Editor/firmware combination may result in unexpected behavior.
The Firmware Set is a set of main (and sub) firmware of the device and the Dante firmware. The version of Firmware Set is the same as the version of the main firmware. Refer to the release note of each firmware about the details of the Firmware Set.

Compatibility List

V1.08

Fixed Bugs

  • Solved a problem in which the output signal changed in 1dB steps, if you adjusted the parameter TOTAL in 0.1dB steps by rotating the knob while pressing and holding it down, when M.BAND DYNA. or M.BAND COMP. was selected as the effect type.
  • Solved a problem in which the HA parameters of the input channels to which Recall Safe was applied were incorrectly recalled when you recalled Scene 000.
  • Solved a problem in which discrepancies might occur in the positions of the faders, if you recalled a scene while operating faders of the channel that Recall Safe was applied to.
  • Solved a problem in which the delay time of the R channel could not been changed, when STEREO DELAY or ECHO was selected as the effect type.

Known issue

  • If the Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) is patched to the QL series device using Dante Controller, the patching may not be recalled correctly when the QL series device is restarted. Patch DVS again. In addition, when using a version of DVS for Windows that is older than v3.2.0, the patch after CH41 cannot be performed from QL series consoles.

NOTICE

  • When setting up the latency in Dante Controller, and there is a discrepancy in latency with the transmit device or the receive device, the largest (slowest) latency setting becomes effective.
  • The following device labels are used for detecting a SUPPORTED DEVICE.
    Y###-**********
    # is a three-digit hexadecimal number containing the digits 0 - 9 and uppercase A - F (000 - FFF)
    *indicates any desired character (alphabetical uppercase or lowercase, numerals, or -(hyphen) may be used)
    Up to 31 characters including the 'Y' are supported.
    For the R-series, make sure that the ID indicated by Y###- is not duplicated by any other R-series unit.
  • In the QL firmware V1.08, you can remotely control the internal HA of a QL series by using the Port to Port function, from additional QL series or CL series (firmware V2.03 or later) consoles, but be aware of the following restrictions
    - In the case of QL5, you can remotely control the internal HA from external consoles only when Input 1-32 are patched to Dante Output 33-64 respectively, using the Port to Port functionality (default settings).
    Likewise, in case of QL1, it works only when Input 1-16 are patched to Dante Output 17-32 (the default patching needs to be changed). - If the HA channel is incorrectly patched from the QL console, through Dante, to the other console, the A.GAIN knob display of the corresponding channel will disappear. In that case, please check the patch settings including Port to Port.
