Introducing the Allen and Heath QU digital mixers — where power meets simplicity for unparalleled audio control. Designed with professional sound quality at its core, the QU range offers a seamless transition from analogue to digital mixing, making it perfect for both newcomers and seasoned professionals alike.
There are 3 models in the range QU-16, QU-24 and QU-32. The QU range is suitable for live bands, school theatres, recording studios, event company's, plus much more. The smallest of the range QU-16 can be rack mounted.
Featuring a fader per mono input channel, the QU mixers boast a streamlined workflow with fewer fader layers, ensuring swift access to essential controls. The True Colour Touchscreen and dedicated rotary encoder provide lightning-fast navigation through settings and parameters, while the SuperStrip offers physical controls for instant adjustments to gain, EQ, dynamics, and more.
At the heart of the QU mixers lies the AnalogiQ preamp design, delivering exceptional transparency, minimal distortion, and an ultra-low noise floor for pristine sound capture. High-class 24-bit analogue-to-digital converters ensure premium signal conversion, matched with 24-bit digital-to-analogue converters for high-fidelity output.
Equipped with four stereo RackFX engines, the QU mixers offer a range of professional-grade effects, from classic reverbs to modulators, all with low latency and exceptional sound quality. The integrated multitrack USB recorder allows for effortless recording and playback of up to 18 channels at 48kHz and 24-bit resolution, directly to/from USB storage.
Future-proof your setup with the built-in dSNAKE™ port, enabling seamless connection to remote stage-boxes from the Everything I/O range. Additionally, the QU mixers serve as self-contained mixers, ready to use with existing analog cables, or easily integrated into a digital setup with Cat5 digital snakes.
For recording, streaming, and mixing applications, the QU range doubles as a high-quality audio interface, with MIDI sent over USB and network connections for seamless integration with your favourite DAW. Stream your audio effortlessly with stereo signal output via USB to compatible live streaming software.
