Reference Quality Recording and Sound Reinforcement Console
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the RQ 4300 Series mixing console. The RQ 4300 represents years of
experience in mixer engineering and offers incredible versatility through its flexible 13-bus design.
Its impressive 4 SUB GROUPS, 6 AUX, L/R and MONO outputs place the RQ 4300 in a league of
its own. Additionally, each SUB group features a high-quality dynamic compressor that can be used
on the corresponding SUB mix, or can be patched to any channel INSERT. Compact package
design and rugged construction make the RQ 4300 ideal for "the road" or for permanent
installations. Covering both the RQ 4324 and the RQ 4332, this guide describes the features and

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

BUSES – The signal paths through the mixer from the channels to the various outputs. The RQ
4300 Series mixer contains 13 different buses: L, R, MONO, SUBS 1-4, AUX 1-6.
SUB groups – The buses used to group channels together. This allows one fader to control a
submix of many channels.
AUX sends – The buses used to route signals to effects and monitors from each channel. PRE
means AUX level is not affected by fader setting; POST means AUX level is affected by fader
setting.
