ALLEN & HEATH QU-6

Allen & Heath QU-6 Digital Mixing ConsoleFPGA XCVI 96 kHz Engine and DEEP Processing for studio-level processing quality with extremely low latency.Up to 38 inputs / 24 outputs, a fast control surface with 25 motorized 100 mm faders and a 7-inch touchscreen designed for straightforward operation.Built-in assistants: Gain Assistant, Feedback Assistant, and AMM 32 channels for faster, cleaner, and safer mixes.Complete ecosystem: SLink for expansion, USB-C 32x32 for multitrack, USB-A recording, and remote control via apps.A New Generation QU, Powered by the XCVI ArchitectureThe QU-6 continues the QU family legacy while taking a leap forward with the integration of the XCVI 96 kHz processor. This architecture delivers a more "immediate" mixing feel and enhanced precision in processing, with access to DEEP Processing to enrich your channels with studio-quality dynamics and equalization tools. The result is a console tailored for modern productions, where clarity, speed of execution, and mix stability are as important as processing power.A Console Designed for Live, Broadcast, and Demanding InstallationsWith its "walk up and mix" workflow, the QU-6 targets sound engineers who need to be operational quickly without sacrificing finesse. It suits concerts (venues, festivals, tours) as well as conference, studio, and places of worship contexts, where voice management and feedback prevention are critical. The 12 configurable mixes facilitate stage monitors, in-ear monitors, installation zones, or broadcast needs, while the AMM 32 channels secures speech in environments with multiple microphones.Features Designed to Speed Up Every SoundcheckDEEP Processing: Shape, Control, FinalizeDEEP Processing provides studio-inspired processing directly within the console to work on tone, dynamics, and balance without relying on external solutions. In practice, this means tighter vocals, clearer instruments, and valuable control reserves as the stage gets busier. Information remains clear thanks to dedicated indicators and configurable chromatic metering per channel, ideal for spotting key levels at a glance.7-inch Touchscreen and Efficiency-Oriented Control SurfaceThe 7-inch touchscreen centralizes essential settings and speeds up navigation during stage changes or rehearsals. The 4 channel layers allow you to organize the console according to your logic (groups, monitors, vocals, DCAs, effects), while assignable SoftKeys facilitate access to repetitive actions (mute groups, tap tempo, recalls, talkback, etc.). Add to this the 25 motorized 100 mm faders, and you get a console that remains comfortable even when the show demands constant adjustments.Recording and Connectivity: From Simple Multitrack to System ExpansionThe QU-6 integrates connectivity designed for production: the USB-C 32x32 transforms the console into a multichannel audio interface for multitrack recording and playback, while the USB-A enables stereo recording/playback and data transfer. The SLink port offers an expansion gateway to build a scalable system via Everything I/O solutions. Finally, remote control via Qu-MixPad and Qu4You apps opens very practical scenarios: adjustment from the audience area, fine-tuning close to a zone, or musicians' autonomy over their personal mix.Technical SpecificationsArchitecture and ProcessingXCVI 96 kHz Processor6 Multi-FX engines with dedicated send and return channelsMixing Capacity and Buses38 inputs (32 mono/assignable, 3 stereo)Main stereo LR output12 mixes (6 Aux mono/assignable, 6 Aux/Group stereo)2 stereo matricesPhysical Inputs / Outputs24 mic/line inputs on combo XLR/6.35mm Jack connectors2 stereo line inputs on 6.35mm TRS Jack1 talkback input16 XLR outputs2 6.35mm TRS Jack outputs1 stereo AES3 digital outputStereo headphone outputInterface and Control7-inch touchscreen25 motorized 100 mm faders4 channel layers8 assignable SoftKeysConfigurable chromatic channel metering LEDsConfigurable connection for single/double footswitch12 V lamp socketRecording and PlaybackUSB-A for stereo audio recording/playback and data transferUSB-C audio interface for multichannel recording/playback (32x32)Connectivity and NetworkingIntelligent SLink I/O port 128x128RJ45 network socketDante interface 16x16 48/96 kHz (Qu-5D only)Remote control via free Qu-MixPad and Qu4You apps, compatible with Windows/MacOS/iOS/AndroidPower Supply, Dimensions, and WeightIEC mains connection with international power supply unitWeight and dimensions: 13.5 kg, 609 x 476 x 213 mm
