The Allen & Heath Qu-5 takes the widely acclaimed Qu-16 design and enhances it with next generation XCVI processing, a refined user interface, and even more flexible connectivity options. Built around a powerful 96kHz FPGA core, the Qu-5 delivers professional audio performance and intuitive control in a compact, rack-mountable format. With a large 7 inch capacitive touchscreen, 17 motorised faders and customisable layers, users gain hands-on control and fast access to essential features. The mixer offers 36 input channels and 12 mix outputs, supported by onboard FX engines and intelligent I/O expansion via the 128x128 SLink port. Designed to meet the needs of live sound engineers, recording professionals and AV integrators alike, the Qu-5 brings advanced functionality without sacrificing ease of use. Whether used in a fixed installation or a mobile rig, it’s a robust solution that delivers outstanding sonic quality and workflow efficiency.
All New Hardware.
The new Qu retains the much-loved appearance and form factor of the original Qu series, but with multiple hardware improvements to elevate the sonic performance and mixing experience.
Audio
Updated microphone preamps and high-performance 96kHz AD/DA converters combine to deliver pristine audio to and from the XCVI core, preserving every detail of the source.
Control
Every channel now features a channel display – showing channel name, channel type, or socket number – and a chromatic channel meter for at-a-glance level information, and the new touchscreen accommodates a completely redesigned user interface.
