Description
Qu-SB is an ultra-compact digital mixer which frees you to mix from anywhere in the venue and provides a smart, portable solution for performing bands and artists.
Qu-SB is portable enough to carry under one arm and comes loaded with our highly acclaimed suite of FX emulations and dynamics, making it a smart replacement for an old analogue mixer and a rack full of outboard FX.
The companion Qu-Pad app is a slick, intuitive interface for setting up the show and mixing live from your iPad, and there’s also a customisable Qu-Control app that lets you choose just a few essential controls that you really need in front of you for easy access during the show.
Couple these with the Qu-You personal monitoring app for Android / iOS and Qu-SB is a fantastic choice if you’re mixing your own monitors and want to get the same great sound wherever you play.
With all of your settings saved and ready, plus multi-track recording and playback of previous shows for virtual soundchecks, you’ll be all set to play in record time.
On top of the 18 on board inputs and 14 outputs, Qu-SB has you future-proofed with plug n’ play expansion up to 38 inputs / 24 outputs via a family of remote AudioRacks.

Perfect in every way. I’ve been using it for weeks now and it still works like the day I got it.

Middle of the road. It works but I’ve had better products in this category.

One star is generous. This product is a complete letdown.
D. B. (verified owner) –
Love the product! Took off one star because packaging could be better. Would buy again.
Donald Robinson –
Picked this up for a couple months and great product overall. The only thing is the instructions could be clearer. Very pleased.
Satisfied User –
Went ahead and got this for my a project and mediocre at best. The Allen & Heath QU-SB Portable 18 In / 14 Out Digital Mixer with Remote Wireless Control wasn’t what I hoped for. It works but I probably would have been happier with a different choice.
Stephen Kim (verified owner) –
Can’t say enough good things about this Allen & Heath QU-SB Portable 18 In / 14 Out Digital Mixer with Remote Wireless Control. Ordered this for about a month and solid product that meets expectations. Happy with my purchase and would recommend. Glad I bought it.

Recently bought this as a gift and acceptable but not impressive. I’ll use it but probably won’t buy again.
Paul Ward (verified owner) –
Really good quality. Only minor complaint is it took a bit longer to ship than expected. Glad I bought it.
Sandra (verified owner) –
Picked this up for about a month and it’s acceptable. Works as described but the quality could be better.
Jack (verified owner) –
Have been using this for a couple months and happy with this purchase. This Allen & Heath QU-SB Portable 18 In / 14 Out Digital Mixer with Remote Wireless Control exceeded my expectations. It’s well-made and functional. Just shy of perfect. No regrets!
