Product Description
Allen & Heath AH-QU-5 32-Channel Digital Mixer, 96kHz FPGA Core, 17 Faders
Overview
Allen & Heath's Qu Series digital mixers have been a top choice for live sound productions thanks to their powerful features, flexible workflow, and budget-friendly price point. Continuing that legacy, Allen & Heath is now introducing the next evolution of the Qu Series with the Qu-5!
Allen & Heath's Qu-5 takes the form factor of the Qu-16 and pushes things to the next level with powerful processing, improved workflow, and expanded connectivity. This digital mixer boasts 96kHz FPGA DSP for low-latency, high-resolution processing coupled with six Multi-FX engines with dedicated Return Channels. The built-in 128x128 intelligent SLink port allows for connectivity to Allen & Heath's Everything I/O range of input expanders.
The Qu-5 comes equipped with 16 mic/line combo inputs, two stereo line inputs, 12 XLR outputs, two TRS outputs, and one AES3 stereo digital output. It features a 7" capacitive touchscreen, 17 motorized faders, four channel strip layers, and eight SoftKeys. Additionally, the Qu-5 includes multiple options for recording/playback including a stereo USB-A port, 32x32 USB-C port, and SD card slot.
