Allen & Heath QU-5D Qu 32ch 96kHz Mixer, 17 Faders, 16/12 Local I/O, 6FX, 16x16 Dante, Rackmountable
Description
Allen & Heath’s legendary digital mixer is reborn. Introducing the QU-5D, which comes supercharged with a 96kHz XCVI core for DEEP Processing capabilities, increased channel count with fully flexible patching across 4 customisable layers, a completely redesigned user interface, significant hardware upgrades, plus extended connectivity and optional Dante.
The Allen & Heath QU-5D takes the QU16 form factor and add's Allen & Heath's powerful XCVI processing; new FX engines and Everything I/O connectivity. There's a capacitive touchscreen, channel strip displays and fully customoized layers. Mix 32 channels of audio at 96kHz. The QU-5D also comes ready with a 16x16 48/96kHz Dante Interface.
What's new?
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.
The Qu-5D provides a 16×16 Dante interface at 96kHz or 48kHz for integration into larger systems or installs.
