Allen & Heath’s QU-16 is a compact, tour-ready digital mixer designed for professional live sound and studio sessions. It offers 16 mono mic/line inputs on XLR/TRS combos plus three stereo inputs, routed via a flexible 16-bus architecture with 12 mixes, including LR, mono mixes 1–4 and stereo mixes 1–3. Motorised, recallable faders and AnaLOGIQ preamps deliver fast, consistent workflows with clean, musical results. An intuitive 800x480 touchscreen speeds navigation, while four internal FX engines provide studio-grade reverbs, delays and modulation. Connectivity includes AES digital output and USB for direct multitrack recording/playback and DAW streaming, with MIDI control supported. The QU-16 integrates with Allen & Heath ME personal monitoring systems and allows wireless mixing via the Qu-Pad iPad app, ideal for both FOH and on-stage control. Comprehensive processing is standard: high-pass filters, gates, 4-band parametric EQ, compressors and delays on inputs, plus 31-band graphic EQ on outputs.
Perfect for gigging bands, venues, houses of worship, corporate events and project studios seeking reliable, powerful digital mixing in a portable footprint.
