Allen & Heath Qu-5
Studio Sound, Stage Ready
The Allen & Heath Qu-5 is a next-generation compact digital mixer designed for professional live sound, studio, and broadcast applications. It delivers exceptional audio quality, intuitive control, and powerful processing in a sleek, rack-mountable form factor.
XCVI Core Processing
At the heart of the Qu-5 is Allen & Heath’s powerful 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine. This cutting-edge technology delivers ultra-low latency, high-resolution audio, and advanced processing capabilities, ensuring pristine sound quality and reliable performance in demanding live and studio environments.
DEEP Processing Architecture
The Qu-5 features Allen & Heath’s DEEP processing, which embeds studio-grade dynamics and EQ models directly into the mixer’s input and output channels. This allows engineers to apply high-quality compression, gating, and EQ without the need for external plugins or hardware.
Touchscreen Interface
A responsive 7-inch capacitive touchscreen provides intuitive control over all mixer functions. Combined with dedicated hardware controls and motorised faders, the interface offers a seamless workflow for fast navigation, setup, and live mixing.
Flexible I/O and SLink Connectivity
With 38 inputs and 24 outputs, the Qu-5 is ready for complex routing scenarios. The SLink port adds even more flexibility, allowing connection to remote stage boxes, other mixers, or expansion via Allen & Heath’s Everything I/O ecosystem.
Integrated Multitrack Recording
The Qu-5 supports 32×32 USB-C audio streaming for DAW integration and multitrack recording. It also features onboard SD card recording and USB stereo recording, making it easy to capture performances or rehearsals directly from the mixer.
Remote Mixing and Control
Compatible with a suite of remote apps, including Qu-Pad and Qu-You, the Qu-5 enables wireless control from tablets and smartphones. This empowers engineers and performers to mix from anywhere in the venue or on stage.
