Description

Allen & Heath´s Qu-16 Chrome Edition mixer gives musicians and engineers a portable yet powerful mixing solution. With 16 high-performance mic preamps, total recall and onboard DSP, the Qu-16 delivers studio-quality results for live shows, recordings, conferences and more.

16 High-Performance Mic Preamps With Total Recall

The Qu-16 provides 16 studio-grade mic preamps to capture pristine recordings and polished live mixes. Total recall allows you to save and recall all mixer settings so you can easily switch between setups on the fly or return to a saved state. The Qu-16´s preamps provide a clean gain range and wide dynamic range to capture the nuances of any performance.

Intuitive Interface With Customizable Controls

Despite its advanced capabilities, the Qu-16 features an intuitive interface with familiar rotary encoders and faders, making it easy to dial in the perfect mix. The innovative Qu-Control app allows you to customize fader layouts, channel names and more for an optimized workflow. Save your custom layouts and recall them instantly for faster setup.

Built-In DSP Provides High-Quality Effects and Processing

The Qu-16 includes built-in DSP to provide studio-quality effects and audio processing. Choose from reverbs, delays, compressors, gates and more to polish your mix. The Qu-16´s processing allows you to achieve professional results without requiring expensive outboard gear. Tweak parameters on the mixer itself or with the Qu-Pad app for full control of your sound.

Wireless Control and Automatic Mic Mixing

The free Qu-Pad app provides wireless control of the Qu-16 from anywhere in the venue. Adjust monitor mixes, tweak the house sound and even mix the show from the audience. The Qu-16 also includes Automatic Mic Mixing which helps prevent feedback and minimizes background noise when multiple mics are open. Set priority levels to ensure the most important speakers are always heard clearly.
