Hardware
The Qu retains the much-loved appearance and form factor of the original Qu series, but with multiple hardware improvements to elevate the sonic performance and mixing experience.
- Audio: Updated microphone preamps and high-performance 96 kHz AD/DA converters combine to deliver pristine audio to and from the XCVI core, preserving every detail of the source.
- Control: Every channel now features a channel display, showing channel name, channel type, or socket number, a chromatic channel meter for at-a-glance level information, and a new touchscreen, which accommodates a completely redesigned user interface.
- Dante Enabled: The Qu-3D provides a 16x16 Dante interface at 96 kHz or 48 kHz for integration into larger systems or installs.

Capture and Playback
Every Qu model is packed with versatile recording and playback options, with an integrated 32×32 USB-C audio interface, 32-channel multitrack support via SD card, and simple stereo recording and playback through the USB-A port, whatever your application.

Updated Workflow
The original Qu series was well loved for its ease and speed of use, making it the perfect mixer for engineers coming from the analogue world.
The new Qu takes this further, maintaining a focus on walk-up-and-mix usability while adding 6 fully customizable channel strip layers, more assignable SoftKeys for workflow optimization, and flexible routing options in addition to the classic 1:1 Qu routing, all accessible via a newly developed, fast and responsive, user interface.

Everything I/O Compatible
Thanks to its Slink port, Qu can be connected to the Everything I/O family of rack and stage-box expanders, making it a flexible mix-and-match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems.
It can even be connected directly to other Allen & Heath consoles with up to 128×128 channels of 96 kHz audio available for patching.
