Q-Tools: Navaja suiza A/V

The setup has to go, time is of the essence, and there's no room for hesitation. When you're on location, in the dark and often without internet access, you need quick and accurate answers, not wasted time searching for diagrams on Google or doing mental calculations under pressure.
Q-Tools is the ultimate pocket tool, designed by and for field technicians. It's a digital Swiss Army knife that unifies the three critical areas of live entertainment and corporate events: Audio, Video, and Power.

Distraction-free, no internet connection required, and with a dark interface optimized to avoid blinding you backstage and save battery life.

AUDIO

Setup Calculators: Get precise delay times based on distance and temperature, frequency and wavelength conversion for accurate system (PA) tuning.

Hardware Pinouts: Wiring diagrams ready for soldering or troubleshooting XLR, Speakon (NL2, NL4), and Jack (TRS/TS) connectors.

POWER AND LIGHTING

Safe Load Calculation: Avoid overloads and tripped circuit breakers. Quickly calculate power (watts), current (amperage), and voltage to safely size your electrical distribution.

Industrial Wiring: Technical diagrams of essential power connectors such as PowerCON (input/output), industrial CEE (16A single-phase, 32A three-phase), and standard plugs (NEMA).

VIDEO AND DATA

Projection Tools: Throw ratio calculations to determine the optimal projector mounting location and lens selection for screen coverage.

Network and Signal: Color codes and standards for crimping network cables (RJ45 T568A/T568B), diagrams for shielded EtherCON connectors, BNC connectors for SDI, and complete pin mapping for HDMI cable diagnostics.

KEY FEATURES
