Peavey Expands RQ Series Mixer Line(Peavey | Posted 2001-11-03)  Peavey Electronics expands the RQ series of mixers to include the new RQ 4324C and 4332C. Like many advances in technology, the price of the mixer has gone down while the number of features available has increased significantly. Features such as sweepable mid-frequency and assignable sub groups are now available for people who have less experience mixing live sound. Keeping this in mind, Peavey has added features to the RQ 4332C and 4324C that help the non-professional get great results and also will be appreciated by more experienced sound engineers.
Both the RQ 4324C and 4332C are 24/32 channel, four-bus mixers ideal for churches and club installations. Each channel has six auxiliary sends, and two fully assignable stereo returns. Each channel also has a sweepable mid-frequency, and frequency variable low cut for maximum EQ control. There are two super channels with pad and polarity buttons and two zones of switchable phantom power.
Each channel can be assigned to left, right, or a separate mono bus. This could be used for a recording bus or as a separate mix for a center cluster or remote room. The four buses each have built-in compressors. These are soft knee and require minimal setting, and have threshold and post-compression gain controls. The compressors are equipped with reverse-wired inserts if compression is needed either on a channel or on the outputs. All that is needed is a 1/4" TRS stereo cable. Compressors 1/2 and 3/4 are stereo linkable, and inserts are on the left, right and mono outputs.
All of the outputs, along with auxiliaries 1 through 4, have XLR balanced outputs. The 1/4" line inputs on the two stereo channels can be used at the same time as the XLR inputs on those channels; separate input gain controls are provided. This increases the number of inputs from 28 to 36 that can be used simultaneously. Both mixers feature a universal switching power supply.
Both new boards are designed ergonomically. The RQ 4300s have a slanted top, which means the operator won't be leaning over the board while working to see the controls. In addition, the input jacks are inset on the back of the unit, keeping the wires out of sight.
