Overview
For years, 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-7D!
The flagship of the next-gen Qu Series, Allen & Heath's Qu-7D digital mixer takes the form factor of the ever-popular Qu-32 combined with high-resolution processing, intuitive and flexible workflow, and expanded connectivity. This digital mixer comes equipped with 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, and the onboard 16x16 48/96kHz Dante® port enables interoperability with other Dante-enabled equipment.
The Qu-7D comes equipped with 32 mic/line combo inputs, two stereo line inputs, 20 XLR outputs, two TRS outputs, and one stereo AES3 digital output. It features a 7" capacitive touchscreen, 33 motorized faders, four channel strip layers, and eight SoftKeys. Additionally, the Qu-7D includes multiple options for recording/playback including a stereo USB-A port, 32x32 USB-C port, and SD card slot.
