Allen & Heath Qu-6

Allen & Heath Qu-6 - Compact Digital Console 96 kHz 38 inputs / 24 outputs with 25 motorized faders

The Qu series makes his big comeback with the Qu-6, a digital console supervised by FPGA XCVI engine in 96 kHz, integrating the latest Allen & Heath audio innovations. This new generation offers 38 entries to mix, 12 mix starts, 4 matrices, and 6 stereo effects engines with dedicated returns, all accessible via a capacitive touch screen of 7 and 25 motorized faders over 4 customizable layers. It combines processing power, flexibility and friendliness.

Qu-6 benefits from redesigned hardware components, of micro reworked preamps and high performance AD/DA converters for irreproachable audio loyalty. The user interface has been completely redesigned for better readability and responsiveness, and each channel now has a name/type/number display and a chromatic viewmeter. With the Qu-MixPad and Qu4You app, the console can be remotely controlled via Mac, PC, iOS or Android.

With its compatibility Everything I/O, its intelligent Gain and Feedback assistants, support for DEEP Processing and Automatic Microbial Mixing (AMM), as well as its USB/SD recording options (up to 32 tracks), the Qu-6 is designed to manage live performances, fixed installation or broadcast with rapid configuration and great scalability. A Dante (Qu-6D) version is available for network integration.
