Allen & heath QU-3D

Allen & Heath’s legendary digital console is back, more compact than ever, and powered by a 96 kHz XCVI processor offering DEEP Processing capabilities, an increased number of channels with a fully flexible patch across 6 customizable layers, a completely redesigned user interface, significant hardware enhancements, as well as expanded connectivity and optional Dante.


All-new hardware.
The Qu-3 and Qu-3D feature the next-generation aesthetic of the new Qu series and are packed with hardware enhancements that elevate sound performance and the mixing experience, all in a format designed for on-stage use.
Audio: Improved mic preamps and high-performance 96 kHz A/D and D/A converters work together to deliver crystal-clear sound to and from the XCVI core, preserving every detail of the source.
Control: Each channel features a channel display—showing the channel name, type, or slot number—and a color-coded VU meter to visualize levels at a glance, while the new touchscreen features a completely redesigned user interface.
Dante-Compatible: The Qu-3D offers a 16×16 Dante interface at 96 kHz or 48 kHz for integration into larger systems or installations, with a 32×32-channel add-on available for more demanding applications.


DEEP Processing. Assistance Tools.
Thanks to its XCVI core, the Qu is DEEP Processing-compatible and, for the first time on the Qu platform, incorporates the renowned modules from our flagship dLive system. In addition, the Qu incorporates the Feedback Assistant and Gain Assistant from the CQ series to take the stress out of setup and speed up your mixdowns.


Reliable recording and playback. Anywhere.
Every Qu model is packed with versatile recording and playback options: a built-in 32x32 USB-C audio interface, 32-channel multitrack recording to SD card, and simple stereo recording/playback via the USB-A port—no matter your application.


A Redesigned Workflow
The original Qu series was highly regarded for its simplicity and speed of use, making it the ideal console for sound engineers coming from an analog background. The new Qu takes it a step further: it retains a “plug-and-mix” approach while adding fully customizable layers, more assignable SoftKeys to optimize workflow, and flexible routing options in addition to the classic Qu 1:1 routing, all accessible via a newly developed, fast, and responsive user interface.


Everything I/O Compatible
Thanks to its SLink port, the Qu can be connected to the Everything I/O family of rack-mounted and stage-box extensions, making it a flexible and scalable solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems. It can even be connected directly to other Allen & Heath consoles, with up to 128x128 96 kHz audio channels available for patching.


Gain Assistant – Faster Setups
Adjusting the gain on each channel may not be the most exciting task, and it can take up a significant portion of your setup time when you have many channels to manage.
The Qu’s Gain Assistant simplifies 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 prevent unwanted peaks or unpleasant surprises.


Feedback Assistant – Say Goodbye to Feedback
Easy to use, the Qu’s Feedback Assistant automatically identifies and suppresses problematic frequencies using up to 16 filters per output, so you can mix with confidence and put your feedback worries behind you.


Remote Control Apps
Control the console from (almost) anywhere using the free apps for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. Qu-MixPad gives the sound engineer total control from anywhere in the room, and Qu4You lets the artist adjust only their own mix to hear exactly what they need.


Automatic Microphone Mixer (AMM)
The Qu’s 32-channel Automatic Microphone Mixer (AMM) makes it the ideal choice for mixing conferences, panel discussions, and television broadcasts. It’s fully integrated into the console with no additional latency—no need to route audio to an internal DSP rack or an external plugin system.


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