The Allen & Heath Qu-3 and Qu-3D take the next generation appearance of the new Qu series, packed with multiple hardware improvements to elevate the sonic performance and mixing experience, and repackage it for desktop use.
Audio
Updated microphone preamps and high-performance 96kHz AD/DA converters combine to deliver pristine audio to and from the XCVI core, preserving every detail of the source.
Control
Every channel features a channel display - showing channel name, channel type, or socket number - and a chromatic channel meter for at-a-glance level information, and the new touchscreen accommodates a completely redesigned user interface.
Capture & Playback - Reliable Recording and Playback. Anywhere.
Every Qu model is packed with versatile recording and playback options, with an integrated 32x32 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.
UI - 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 analog world. The new Qu takes this further, maintaining a focus on "walk up and mix" usability while adding fully customisable layers, more assignable SoftKeys for workflow optimisation, and flexible routing options in addition to the classic 1:1 Qu routing, all accessible via a newly developed, fast and responsive, user interface.
SLink - 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 'n' match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems. It can even be connected directly to other Allen & Heath consoles with up to 128x128 channels of 96kHz audio available for patching.
