Allen & Heath Qu-5 - Compact 96 kHz digital console with XCVI engine

The Allen & Heath Qu-5 embodies a new generation of digital consoles combining compactness, power and user-friendliness. Taking back the iconic ergonomics of the Qu series, it now incorporates a 96 kHz XCVI engine, able to manage up to 38 mixing inputs with a dEEP treatment ultra-performance, from the dLive professional range. The console offers a fully redesigned user interface, accessible via a capacitive touch screen 7, associated with 17 motorised faders and 4 layers customizable, for an intuitive and fast mixing experience.

With 16 micro/combo preamps, of 12 XLR outputs, of 6 stereo effects engines, and port SLink 128×128 for the Everything I/O extension, the Qu-5 is positioned as a solution modular and scalable for live sound, fixed installation or recording. Thanks to its uSB-C multichannel connectivity (32×32), its compatibility SD and USB-A for multitrack or stereo recording, and its gain and anti-larsen assistants, it accompanies you with remarkable efficiency in all situations.

Thought for the demanding sound engineers, musicians and technicians, the Qu-5 focuses on speed of implementationworkflow optimization and sound quality i can't blame you. She benefits as a bonus Automatic Mic Mixer integrated 32 channels, ideal for conferences or TV sets. Its format compact and rackable 19 (optional kit) makes it a strategic choice for mobile users or restricted technical authorities.
