Supreme Portability Meets Advanced XCVI Processing

Blending the svelte form factor of the Qu-16 with the power of Allen & Heath’s advanced XCVI processing, the Qu-5 redefines what’s possible in a compact digital mixer. This cutting-edge, 32-channel, 24-bit/96kHz console delivers exceptional performance with six studio-grade Multi-FX engines, each with dedicated returns, and versatile Everything I/O connectivity. At the heart of the Qu-5 is a vibrant 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, enhanced by vivid channel strip displays, four user-definable layers, and eight programmable SoftKeys, offering intuitive control at your fingertips. Additionally, this mixer houses 16 premium digitally controlled mic preamps, engineered for pristine transparency, ultra-low noise, and musical warmth that elevates any live mix. Hands-on control abounds, thanks to 17 smooth 100mm motorized faders and a thoughtfully designed interface. Moreover, the Qu-5’s USB-C audio interface and SD card slot provide you with up to 32 channels of recording and playback, with or without a computer. Fully rackmountable and built to handle the demands of modern live sound production, the Allen & Heath Qu-5 empowers you to unlock the full potential of digital mixing, setting a new benchmark in its class.

Flagship processing, now in a compact Qu mixer

The Qu-5 combines the compact portability of the best-selling Qu-16 with the powerful 96kHz FPGA processing of Allen & Heath’s acclaimed XCVI Core, the same engine that drives the company’s flagship SQ and dLive series. This advanced digital mixer features six cutting-edge Multi-FX engines, each with dedicated return channels, and offers full Everything I/O connectivity for maximum flexibility and expandability. Enhancing its intuitive workflow, the Qu-5 is equipped with a large 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, vivid channel strip displays, customizable layers, and eight programmable SoftKeys, delivering a seamless, hands-on mixing experience in a space-saving design. Here, we’ve worked with Qu series mixers since their original unveiling, and we’re genuinely impressed by the Qu-5’s elevated capabilities and refined user experience.

All the I/O you need — right where you need it

Designed for maximum flexibility, the Allen & Heath Qu-5 boasts a highly versatile I/O configuration with 36 mix inputs, including 32 mono channels — linkable for stereo operation — and two dedicated stereo channels. Its output architecture features a stereo main LR bus, 12 mix outputs (comprising six mono or linkable auxes and six stereo aux/group mixes), and four matrix outputs that can also be configured as stereo pairs. For physical connectivity, the Qu-5 includes 16 XLR mic/line combo jacks, two stereo line input pairs (each with dual TRS connectors), and a dedicated talkback input. On the output side, it offers 12 XLR outputs, two TRS outputs, and a stereo AES3 digital output, ensuring seamless integration into both live sound and studio production environments.

Multitrack recording made effortless

Recording with the Qu-5 is refreshingly straightforward. It features a 32-in/32-out USB-C audio interface, allowing seamless integration with your DAW for multitrack recording and playback. For standalone operation, the built-in SD card slot supports 32-channel recording and playback at up to 48kHz and supports 16 channels at 96kHz, eliminating the need for a computer.
