Allen & Heath Qu-5 32-Channel Digital Mixer

The Allen & Heath Qu-5 is a powerful 32-channel digital mixer designed for professional live sound, touring, broadcast, and fixed installations. Built around Allen & Heath’s XCVI 96kHz FPGA processing core, the Qu-5 delivers exceptional audio clarity, ultra-low latency, and rock-solid reliability in a compact, rack-mountable format. With 36 mixable inputs, flexible routing, onboard effects, touchscreen control, and scalable I/O expansion, the Qu-5 is engineered for demanding mixing environments where precision and workflow efficiency are essential.

XCVI 96kHz Processing for Pristine Sound

At the heart of the Qu-5 is Allen & Heath’s XCVI FPGA engine, running at 96kHz for uncompromising audio quality. This high-resolution processing delivers natural dynamics, detailed transients, and clean headroom across every channel. Whether mixing front-of-house, monitors, or broadcast feeds, the Qu-5 maintains consistent, transparent sound with extremely low latency.

Intuitive Touchscreen Control and Flexible Workflow

A responsive 7-inch capacitive touchscreen provides fast access to channel processing, routing, FX, and system setup. Combined with 17 motorized 100 mm faders, configurable fader layers, and 8 assignable SoftKeys, the Qu-5 adapts easily to different workflows. The interface is designed for speed and clarity, allowing engineers to stay focused during high-pressure live shows or complex sessions.

Scalable Connectivity With Everything I/O

The Qu-5 is built to grow with your system. Its 128x128 SLink port supports Allen & Heath’s Everything I/O ecosystem, allowing connection to remote stage boxes, monitor systems, and additional audio interfaces. The Qu-5D variant adds integrated 16x16 Dante networking for seamless integration into modern audio-over-IP environments. This flexibility makes the Qu-5 equally suited for touring rigs, installed venues, and broadcast workflows.

Built-In Effects and Recording Capabilities

Six onboard multi-FX engines provide high-quality reverbs, delays, modulation, and dynamics processing, each with dedicated return channels. For recording and playback, the Qu-5 offers a USB-C 32x32 audio interface and an SD card slot for multitrack recording directly from the mixer, making it ideal for live recording, virtual soundchecks, and content production.

Road-Ready, Rack-Mountable Design

Housed in a rugged chassis and designed for 19-inch rack mounting (optional kit sold separately), the Qu-5 is built for long-term professional use. Smooth motorized faders, chromatic LED metering, and durable hardware ensure consistent performance night after night, whether on tour or in a permanent installation.
