Samson Q5 User Manual

Linking Multiple Q5s
Any number of Q5s can be linked together (“daisy-chained”), allowing
you to monitor an input signal over more than five sets of headphones.
To do this, simply make a connection between one Q5’s Left/Right
Stereo Link outputs and the next one’s Left/Right Amp inputs, and insert
open-ended “dummy” 1/4" TRS plugs into the Left/Right Stereo Link
Outputs of the last Q5 in the chain, as shown in the illustration below*:
Because the Q5 Stereo Link output jacks are electronically balanced,
we recommend the use of 3-conductor cable and 1/4" TRS (Tip/Ring/
Sleeve) connectors. Even when several Q5s are linked together this
way, there is no loss of power or audio fidelity—every Channel on every
Q5 will sound just as loud and clear as if it were the only unit connected.
The status of the front-panel Stereo/Mono button affects only that unit
and has no effect on any subsequent linked units.
* Note: The AC power adapter in this illustration is not shown to scale.
