Creating a mix-minus on a QOR

Configuration of the local Input and Output

Configuring the Input

  1. Connect the output of your phone hybrid to one of the Analog Inputs on your QOR.  For this example, we'll use Analog Input 8.

    Name it something descriptive so you know what is connected.  In our example “Telephone”

We know that we need to create a dedicated audio feed that goes back TO our  Phone system.  This is where we get the term “To: Source”.  It’s also why some of the outputs on the QOR have the prefix “To:”  It’s a simple matter of picking the right one.

Configuring the Output

  1. Connect the input to your phone system to  one of the local outputs.  In this example, we’ll use Analog output 4

    Again, name it something descriptive.  In our example “To Telephone”

  2. From the output drop-down list, pick To: Analog 8 (you have to scroll down past the normal outputs)

This is our way of telling the system we want the "TO: Source" (remember, that's a mix-minus) of whatever we plugged into Analog INPUT number 8. Put another way, Output 4 becomes the mix-minus of whatever is plugged into Analog 8 input.

In this configuration, what comes out of Analog Output 4 is everything EXCEPT what comes in on Analog Input 8, which, in this case, is precisely the configuration we want.

Configuring the Source Profile

The last step is ensuring we correctly set the Source Profile in our QOR console engine. When you create a new source profile, select Phone for the Source type BEFORE you click the Create button.

This also applies to Codec source types. If you select Line (or other source types), the console will not know that it needs to create this mix-minus feed automatically.
