Multi-channels to Yamaha QL5

[Heptagon]

The theatre we use has a Yamaha QL5, and we use SCS on a windows laptop for the incidental music and sound effects (we are a drama company)

We would like to use the SCS ability to drive banks of speakers (beyond the simple stereo channels that run the boxes on the walls of the auditorium). 

We probably only need 2 extra channels for effects. 

Does anyone know if the QL5 can directly input 4 channels (e.g. from a usb connection), or do we need some sort of 4-out audio interface? 

(Since bump-in time is limited, it would be nice not to have to bring in any more boxes).

 

Thanks

Have a look at the Dante features of your QL5.

Dante Virtual Soundcard installed on your Windows machine will provide you with inputs and outputs on a Dante network that you could access from your QL5.
