Allen & Heath QU-6 38-channel Digital Mixer 96kHz FPGA Core with 24+1 Onboard Preamps and 16 Line Outputs

The Allen & Heath Qu-6 is the right choice for Church. Building on the Qu-24’s form factor and ease of use, QU-6 adds Allen & Heath’s powerful XCVI 96khz processing, new FX engines and Everything I/O connectivity. There’s also a larger capacitive touchscreen, channel strip displays, customisable layers and extra SoftKeys.

Both the Qu-6 and Qu-6D are 38 input channel, 96kHz digital audio mixers, combining high performance audio processing and professional features with ease of use and hands-on control.

The Qu-6 and Qu-6D 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.

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 128×128 channels of 96kHz audio available for patching.
