Music & Paging Zone Mixer Reference

The information provided in this section gives you a detailed description of the screens and controls for the Music & Paging Zone Mixer and the Music & Paging Zone Mixer remote apps.

Getting Started

The QSC MP-M music and paging mixers are ﬁxed architecture mixer/processors offering unprecedented capabilities combined with ease of conﬁguration and operation. The products are intended for retail and hospitality applications in which high-quality audio from various sources is routed to multiple zones. Live mixing functions are also supported for applications requiring reinforcement of entertainment, presentations or conferences.

System Requirements

The MP-M Apps support:

• Android – 5.0 or later

• iOS – 8.0 or later

• macOS – 10.9 or later

• Windows – 10

MP Install

This app (for iOS / Android tablets, Windows and Mac OS) allows system designers and installers to quickly and easily design and conﬁgure systems for MP-M Series mixers. This wireless control features an intuitive Workﬂow Wizard to navigate through room tuning and speed commissioning.

MP Manage

For wireless control, the MP Manage app (for iOS / Android tablets and smartphones) provides end users day-today operation of basic system functions including zone level, source selection, scene recall, scheduling, and mixer control. It also offer a unique store-and-forward zone paging functionality to the MP-M Series mixer.

MP-MFC Controllers

The MP-MFC Controllers are intuitive wall mount controls to enable customizable system adjustments for the MP-M Series music and paging mixer. They provide zone source selection, zone output level, select input levels, and scene recall. Designers can conﬁgure these peripherals to provide end users with as much or as little control over the system as needed.

NOTE:

The AGC should not be used on microphone inputs if there is any possibility of feedback.

If the source device lacks an output volume control, use the input channel gain control to simulate low and high level playback. Use the Cue output and headphones to listen to the results of the AGC.

To Adjust the AGC

1. Using program material that is slightly greater in level than the desired maximum signal level, adjust the Max Target slider until the Reduction indicates a slight amount of gain reduction by moving to the left of center.

2. Using program material that is slightly lower in level than the desired minimum signal level, adjust the Min Target slider until the Reduction Meter indicates a slight amount of gain addition by moving to the right of center.

3. If some low-level passages of the program material are being boosted excessively, use the Max Gain control to decrease the maximum gain the AGC applies.

4. With no program material playing, adjust the Threshold so that the Reduction Meter shows no additional gain being applied. This adjustment prevents the AGC from applying full gain to residual noise from the sources when no signal is present.

Architectural Delay

Delay Enable

About Delay:

The output delay on the MP-M is primarily useful for “architectural delay”. Architectural delay is used to align the arrival of sound from nearby speakers to the arrival of sound from a more distant source. When the delay is set correctly, the listeners will have the impression that they are hearing the distant source when most of what they hear is actually coming from the nearby speakers. To adjust the delay:

• Set the delay for the nearby speakers so that the distance equals the distance between the nearby speakers and the distant source. Note that the source could be an acoustic source such as a piano, guitar or a talker, or it could be another speaker system.

• Get into the coverage area of the nearby speaker. While listening to the source and the nearby speaker, add up to 30 msec. of delay. You’ll know it’s right when you’re ear tells you that the sound is coming from the source.

• Precedence Effect (also known as Haas Effect) creates the illusion that we aren’t hearing the delayed sound from the nearby speakers because we heard the sound from the distant source ﬁrst.

The MP-M has the ability to route an input signal to a dedicated Music on Hold output that can be connected to a telephone system.

Output Channel − Sources

A primary purpose of the MP-M is to route audio signals from the inputs (Sources) to the outputs (Zones). The Sources screen is where the available sources are assigned to an output and given their roles.

The MP-M uses Priority Sources to designate which inputs are able to override the signal from other inputs. Each output zone includes two duckers that are triggered by the Priority inputs. (A ducker is a dynamic processor that uses one audio signal to reduce the level of another signal.)

Assignments to sources are made from MP Install and cannot be changed from the MP Manage app or the MFCcontrollers.

• A signal arriving at the Primary input will reduce the level of the Secondary Source and the Selectable Sources audio.

buttons – Touch one of the selection buttons to display and select from a list of available sources. Available sources are:

• The output from the internal mixer section of the MP-M.

• Any other output zone or “Zone-Follows-Zone”. This function is used, for example, if a single area of a facility has different kinds of loudspeakers (full-range / subwoofer) that require differing processing but it’s desirable for the entire area to operate as a single zone. It can also be used for room combining in facilities with movable air walls.

• Silence – Silence may be selected as a means of muting an output. If silence is selected, the Priority sources will still function normally.

• None – None is the default selection. If None is the source for any of the 8 available source selection ‘slots’, that slot will not appear on MP Install or on the MFC controllers.

Loudness

How the human ear perceives tonal balance depends on the level of the sound being heard. As level decreases, more low-frequencies (relative to the mid-frequencies) are needed to maintain the perception that tonal balance

is unchanged. Psychoacoustic research has established Constant Loudness Contours that describe how the

perception changes with level. The Loudness function works with the output Zone Level

setting. If more low-frequency is desired at lower-levels, increase the Scale value.

To Set Loudness Compensation:

1. Bring the Zone channel Output Fader up to the level at which there should be no loudness compensation applied. This will usually be the loudest, normal operating level for the output zone.

2. Adjust the Threshold slider so that the blue Threshold line overlays the white Zone Level line.

3. Use the Scale control to adjust how much compensation is applied. To set the Scale, bring the Zone output level to the lowest normal operating level. If too much Loudness Compensation is present, reduce the Scale setting.

A Conﬁguration is a design ﬁle that contains all mixer settings including presets, permissions and scenes. The Conﬁguration may be created online or ofﬂine. If a Conﬁguration is exported from one MP-M and loaded onto another, the second MP-M becomes functionally and operationally identical to the ﬁrst.

Conﬁgurations may be stored on:

• A Windows computer (MP Install App Storage location).

• A USB storage device (connected to the MP-M).

• An iOS or Android tablet (MP Install mobile app storage).

• The MP-M internal memory.

Managing Conﬁgurations – Online

The Conﬁgurations screen includes the following controls and indicators:

Save / Save As button – Opens the Save Conﬁguration As

dialog where the conﬁguration can be saved as is, or saved with a new name, effectively creating a new version. When the App is connected (live) to the MP-M and a conﬁguration is saved or saved as, that conﬁguration becomes the Current Conﬁguration

Managing Conﬁgurations – Ofﬂine

The MP Manage app supports ofﬂine operation allowing most aspects of MP-M setup to be performed on a tablet or computer without being connected to an MP-M. This includes the creation of conﬁgurations.

When the app is ofﬂine, it uses the conﬁguration that was last opened in ofﬂine mode. When the app connects to an MP-M, the MP-M online conﬁguration takes over. To restore the ofﬂine conﬁguration, click the Connection button on the lower right corner of the screen and select None (ofﬂine). The last ofﬂine conﬁguration to be recalled will be loaded. Even so, it’s good practice to save any ofﬂine or online conﬁguration before changing mode.

Conﬁgurations include a password whether they are created online or ofﬂine. For this reason it may be necessary to enter a password when switching between an online and an ofﬂine conﬁguration.

Conﬁguration Files and Windows

• Having full ﬁle system access with the Windows version of MP Install offers the user more ﬁle management control to accommodate more varied workﬂows.

• Therefore, the Windows handling of Conﬁgurations differs slightly from the tablet versions of MP Install.

• By default, MP Install will store Conﬁguration ﬁles in the current user’s Documents directory. The default storage location for MP Install v1.0 was C:1\ProgramData\QSC\MP-M\. For v1.1 and later, the default location is:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\QSC\MP-M\ Which, for example, may equate to an absolute path of C:\Users\my.name\Documents\QSC\MP-M\

Common Workﬂow Scenarios

Fresh Start (New Conﬁguration) In this scenario, there may or may not be any conﬁgurations in the MP Install App Storage location on the Windows PC. Either way, an existing

conﬁguration will not be used. The user will most likely be working ofﬂine. Best practice steps to get started:

1. Launch MP Install.

2. Click Menu, then Conﬁgurations.

3. Click Save / Save As.

4. Enter a name for your new Conﬁguration and click Save.

5. Get to work.

Basing a New Conﬁguration on an Existing Conﬁguration (Template)

In this scenario, there will be at least one conﬁguration in the MP Install App Storage location on the Windows PC. The user will most likely be working ofﬂine.

Best practice steps to get started:

1. Launch MP Install.

2. Click Menu, then Conﬁgurations.

3. Select a Conﬁguration to use as a basis or “template” and click Recall.

4. Click Save / Save As.

5. Enter a name for your new Conﬁguration and click Save.

6. Get to work.

Continuing Work on Existing Conﬁguration (Recalling)

In this scenario, there will be at least one conﬁguration in the MP Install App Storage location on the Windows PC. The user will most likely be working ofﬂine.

Best practice steps to get started:

1. Launch MP Install.

2. Click Menu, then Conﬁgurations.

3. Select a Conﬁguration and click Recall.

4. Get to work.

Importing a Conﬁguration

In this scenario, there may or may not be any conﬁgurations in the MP Install App Storage location on the Windows PC. The user may have been provided a conﬁguration ﬁle created by a colleague or on another device that they wish to continue working on or deploy to hardware. The user will most likely be working ofﬂine.

Best practice steps to get started:

1. Store your ﬁle somewhere accessible by Windows Explorer and browse to that location.

2. Ensure MP Install is not running. Exit it if it was.

3. Double-click the conﬁguration ﬁle. MP Install will launch and import the conﬁguration into the speciﬁed App Storage location. A message will

convey the import operation is taking place and notify when complete.

4. Click Menu, then Conﬁgurations.

5. Select the imported Conﬁguration and click Recall.

6. Get to work.

Transferring a Conﬁguration to an MP-M Using a USB Drive

If a conﬁguration has been saved to a USB drive from an MP-M, the drive may be used, as is to transfer the conﬁguration to another MP-M. If the Conﬁguration is copied to a USB drive, the USB drive must be prepared as follows.

Prepare a USB drive.

• If an MP-M is available, it may be used to format the drive. Menu > Settings > Format USB Drive. The directory structure will be created by the MP-M.

• If no MP-M is available, format the drive as FAT32 using the computer.

• Create a folder on the drive and name it MPM_Settings.

NOTE:

this is the case you may update the MP-M ﬁrmware to the latest version or use a folder name TouchMix-Presets on the USB drive.

The Conﬁgurations Screen includes a summary of these steps. To Transfer a Conﬁguration Using a USB Drive

• Format drive as FAT32.

• Create a folder named MPM_Settings.

• Save Conﬁgurations to the folder.

Transfer the Conﬁguration using one of the following methods.

1. Method 1

a. From the Conﬁgurations screen, select a Conﬁguration from the App Storage window. a. Click the Export Selected Conﬁguration button. A dialog will appear “Export Conﬁguration ﬁle “Conﬁg Name” to another location?” a. Select Continue to save the Conﬁguration or Exit to go back. a. Browse to the MPM_Settings folder on the USB drive and click Save.

2. Method 2

a. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where the Conﬁguration is stored.

Select the Conﬁguration (or Conﬁgurations) and copy/paste or drag them to MPM_settings folder on the USB drive.

For short range applications with fewer potential sources of interference, an optional USB adapter, supplied by QSC, and available at – https://parts. qsc.com/cp-000033-00. No other USB Wi-Fi adapters have been qualiﬁed for use with the MP-M. Be aware that its range and connection reliability will be limited compared to an external Wi-Fi router.

If the optional QSC USB Wi-Fi adapter is installed, the mixer automatically creates its own network on power up. The factory-default network name will be “MPM-” followed by a random number. The mixer’s factory-default local network password is 1234509876.

Connecting to a Facility’s Network

Networks in commercial facilities have been set up by IT professionals who are concerned about security. They may be very reluctant to allow you to connect a mixer to their network. But if they do, they will want to know two things.

1. What port do you want them to give you? Answer – any open port will work. The mixer will ﬁnd it.

2. What services do you need? Answer – none. The mixer implements zero-conﬁguration networking using Bonjour®.
