Description

The Allen and Heath Qu-5D takes the ever-popular Qu-16 form factor and adds powerful XCVI processing, new FX engines and Everything I/O connectivity. There’s also a larger capacitive touchscreen, channel strip displays, customisable layers and extra SoftKeys.

In addition, the Qu-5D variant features a built-in 16×16 48/96 kHz Dante port for interoperability with other Dante enabled equipment.

Both the Qu-5 and Qu-5D are rack mountable, 32 input channel, 96kHz digital audio mixers, combining high performance audio processing and professional features with ease of use and hands-on control.

The Qu-5 and Qu-5D are multi-purpose mixers suitable for live music/band use, AV and install, studio and broadcast. Workflow and UI have been designed to make operation easy for inexperienced users or volunteers, provide familiarity to those transitioning from analogue mixing and give quick access to more advanced features for the experienced engineer.

Reliable Recording and Playback. Anywhere.
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.
