Allen & Heath QU-5D

Connect. Control. Create.

The Allen & Heath Qu-5D is a compact yet powerful 38-in/24-out digital mixer designed for professional live sound, studio and broadcast applications. It combines the trusted Qu series form factor with next-generation technology, including a built-in Dante interface for seamless audio-over-IP integration.

XCVI 96kHz Core Processing
Powered by Allen & Heath’s advanced XCVI FPGA engine, the Qu-5D delivers ultra-low latency (<0.7ms), high-resolution 96kHz audio, and variable bit-depth up to 96-bit. This ensures pristine sound quality and responsive performance across all channels.

Integrated Dante Networking
The Qu-5D includes a 16×16 Dante interface (48/96kHz) with a dedicated locking EtherCon port, enabling easy integration into Dante-enabled systems for flexible digital audio routing in live, install, or broadcast environments.

DEEP Processing
Each input and output channel features DEEP processing, including high-pass filters, gates, compressors, parametric EQs, and delay. These tools are embedded directly into the mixer’s architecture, eliminating the need for external plugins or outboard gear.

Touchscreen & Motorised Faders
A 7-inch capacitive touchscreen and 17 motorised 100mm faders provide intuitive, hands-on control. Four fully customizable layers and eight assignable SoftKeys allow users to tailor the workflow to their specific needs.

Flexible Recording & Playback
The Qu-5D supports 32×32 USB-C multitrack recording, 32-channel SD card recording, and stereo USB-A playback. Whether you're capturing a live performance or tracking in the studio, the Qu-5D offers versatile and reliable recording options.

Everything I/O & SLink Connectivity
With its SLink port, the Qu-5D connects to Allen & Heath’s Everything I/O ecosystem, allowing for scalable I/O expansion and integration with other A&H digital consoles. It supports up to 128×128 channels of 96kHz audio patching.

Enhanced User Interface
The redesigned interface features vivid channel strip displays, chromatic meters, and a fast, responsive touchscreen. It maintains the Qu series’ “walk-up-and-mix” simplicity while offering deeper customization and control.
