QuPac stand for live performances.
The Allen & Heath Qu Pac mixer provides up to 32 channels, taking amazingly little space on the desk. However, one “drawback” of the QuPac is the position, with the front panel being vertical. A&H deliver with the QuPac rack mounts and it turns out that these can be used to build a stand. This requires a 18 (or 20) mm thick plank of wood, at least 898 mm long and at least 175mm wide. The two side pieces to which the rack mount is fixed measure 274x175 mm. The two triangles are cut from a 175x175mm square. Because the Qu Pac is hollow, one can connect the two ear pieces with a small stick (the remainder of the purchased wood). This means that no screwing is involved to put the sides on and off. The picture illustrates the construction.
