The Qu-3 and Qu-3D take the next generation appearance of the new Qu series, packed with multiple hardware improvements to elevate the sonic performance and mixing experience, and repackage it for desktop use.

Built on the same unified platform as the latest Qu range, Qu-3 and Qu-3D feature:

• 32-channel, 96kHz XCVI processing
• 36 total inputs (32 mono/linkable + 2 stereo)
• 12 mixes, 4 matrix outputs, and 6 FX engines
• 128×128 SLink connectivity for seamless integration with Allen & Heath's Everything I/O ecosystem
• 32×32 USB-C audio interface
• Multitrack recording to SD card
• Stereo recording and playback via USB-A

Designed for Modern Audio Workflows
The Qu-3D adds a built-in 16×16 Dante interface, upgradeable to 32×32, making it a powerful solution for networked audio applications, conferencing environments, installations, and broadcast production.

The streamlined 8+1 layout combines:

• Six fader layers
• Eight assignable SoftKeys
• Responsive touchscreen control
• Fast access to essential functions

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 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.

Dante Enabled
The Qu-3D provides a 16×16 Dante interface at 96kHz or 48kHz for integration into larger systems or installs, with a 32×32 channel upgrade Add-On available for applications needing even more.

Capture & Playback
Reliable Recording and Playback. Anywhere.

Every Qu model is packed with versatile recording and playback options, with an integrated 32×32 USB-C audio interface, 32-channel multitrack support via SD card, and simple stereo recording and playback through the USB-A port, whatever your application.

UI | Updated Workflow
The original Qu series was well loved for its ease and speed of use, making it the perfect mixer for engineers coming from the analogue world. The new Qu takes this further, maintaining a focus on “walk up and mix” usability while adding fully customisable layers, more assignable SoftKeys for workflow optimisation, and flexible routing options in addition to the classic 1:1 Qu routing, all accessible via a newly developed, fast and responsive, user interface.

Dante Enabled
Double the available Dante channels and connect more devices across your audio network with the optional Dante 32×32 upgrade.

Whether you’re mixing corporate events, managing installed AV systems, or working in broadcast environments, the upgrade delivers greater flexibility, increased capacity, and integration with the wider Dante ecosystem.

SLink | Everything I/O Compatible
Thanks to its SLink port, Qu can be connected to the Everything I/O family of rack and stage box expanders making it a flexible, mix ‘n’ match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems. It can even be connected directly to other Allen & Heath consoles with up to 128×128 channels of 96kHz audio available for patching.

DEEP Processing. Assistive Tools.
With its XCVI core, Qu is DEEP Processing ready, bringing acclaimed add-ons from our flagship dLive, system to the Qu platform for the first time. In addition, Qu features the Feedback and Gain Assistants from the CQ series to take the stress out of setup and speed up your soundchecks.

Gain Assistant | Faster Setups
Adjusting the gain for each channel might not be the most thrilling task, and it can take up a lot of your setup time when you have multiple channels to manage.

Qu’s Gain Assistant streamlines this process by quickly and precisely setting the ideal gain level for one or more input channels, and can continuously monitor levels during the performance to avoid any unwanted peaks or surprises.

Feedback Assistant | Say Goodbye to Feedback
Qu’s easy to use Feedback Assistant automatically identifies and removes problematic frequencies with up to 16 filters per output, allowing you to mix with confidence and put feedback worries behind you.

Add-Ons | Take Your Mix to the Next Level
Proven on countless world-tours with international artists, DEEP Processing and RackExtra FX from our award-winning dLive digital mixing system are now available within your Qu.
