Allen & Heath QU-5D Digital Mixer with Dante
The Allen & Heath QU-5D is a compact yet powerful digital mixer designed for professional audio applications, from live sound and studio recording to corporate AV. This console takes the best-selling features of the original Qu series and elevates them with a new 96kHz XCVI core and DEEP Processing capabilities, ensuring pristine audio quality with ultra-low latency.
At the heart of the QU-5D is its intuitive “walk-up-and-mix” usability. The 7-inch capacitive touchscreen provides a responsive and clear interface for managing channels and effects, while 17 motorized faders offer precise, hands-on control for every element of your mix. The customizable channel strip displays and four user-assignable layers allow you to create a personalized workflow that adapts to your needs, whether you’re a seasoned engineer or a volunteer.
The “D” in QU-5D signifies its built-in 16×16 Dante interface, making it a perfect solution for seamless integration into larger audio-over-IP networks. This Dante port expands the mixer’s connectivity, allowing you to easily network with other Dante-enabled devices, such as stage boxes, amplifiers, and recording systems.
Beyond its core mixing capabilities, the QU-5D is a versatile tool for capture and playback. The integrated 32×32 USB-C audio interface allows for multi-channel recording directly to your computer, while the SD card slot offers 32-channel multitrack recording and playback without a PC. The mixer also includes powerful assistive tools like a Feedback Assistant and a 32-channel Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM), which streamline your setup and ensure a clean, professional sound.
