Allen & Heath Qu-32 Chrome Edition Digital Mixer ( 112017496 )

The Allen & Heath Qu-32 Chrome Edition digital mixer combines a stunning chrome finish with high-end components and processing power. This 32-channel digital mixer is ideal for professional touring, installation and recording applications where pristine audio quality and reliability are paramount. Boasting next-generation preamps, advanced 48kHz/24-bit multi-channel USB recording and playback, as well as configurable effects and dynamics processing, the Qu-32 provides an unparalleled level of flexibility and connectivity.

High-Performance Preamps Provide Pristine Gain

The Qu-32 Chrome Edition features 32 AnalogiQ total recall preamps with zero crossing detection and an advanced padless dB step gain stage. The AnalogiQ design has been refined to offer superb transparency, minimal distortion and an ultralow noise floor, with a warm, musical sound that is missing from many digital consoles.

Onboard USB Interface Enables Flawless Multi-Channel Recording

The Qu-32's built-in interface streams multitrack audio to your Mac or Windows computer. Any combination of inputs and mixes can be patched to the USB interface. The returns from the computer can be assigned to the input channels. The interface is class compliant on Mac OS X—which means it's truly plug and play, with no need to install a driver. An ASIO/WDM driver is available for Windows computers. Standard MIDI control is tunneled over the USB connection so you can easily map the faders to the tracks of your favorite DAW. Additionally, the DAW Control driver for Mac OS X enables better DAW integration via HUI or Mackie Control emulation.

Assignable Faders and Rotary Encoders Provide Total Control

The Qu-32 features 33 ALPS motorized faders, allowing you to have hands-on control over levels, AUX sends, FX sends and more. Below the faders are rotary encoders that can be freely assigned to a variety of parameters for an additional level of precision control. This combination of faders and encoders provides a seamless analog-style workflow in a compact digital mixer.
