Allen & Heath QU-5 – Compact Digital Mixer with 16 Faders and 96 kHz Processing
Meet the Allen & Heath QU-5, a high-performance compact digital mixer designed for professional live sound, studio, and fixed installations. Powered by the 96 kHz XCVI FPGA processor—inherited from the premium SQ, Avantis, and dLive series—the QU-5 delivers exceptional audio quality with ultra-low latency, and grants access to DEEP Processing with built-in studio-grade compressor and EQ emulations.
With up to 38 inputs and 24 outputs, the QU-5 features a 7-inch touchscreen interface for fast, intuitive navigation and includes smart tools like Gain Assistant, Feedback Assistant, and a 32-channel Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM). The walk-up-and-mix workflow, 17 motorized 100 mm faders, upgraded preamps, and 96 kHz AD/DA converters ensure precise, responsive control in any environment.
Connectivity includes 16 combo XLR/Jack inputs, 12 XLR outputs, an SLink port for Everything I/O expansion, a 32x32 USB-C audio interface, SD card multitrack recording, and USB-A stereo recording/playback. Compatible with Qu-MixPad and Qu-You apps, the mixer can be fully controlled remotely from any device.
