Allen & Heath's original legendary range of 48kHz Qu digital mixers has now been reborn with new hardware and expanded features, and supercharged with a 96kHz XCVI core for DEEP Processing capabilities. Furthermore, each has an increased channel count with fully flexible patching across 4 customisable layers, a completely redesigned user interface, significant hardware upgrades, plus extended connectivity and Dante variants of every model in the range.

Following on from the hugely successful Qu-5/6/7 models, Qu-3 packs all the same processing power and features of the next generation Qu range into a new desktop, 8+1 fader, form factor.

As with other Qu Dante variants, the Qu-3D adds a built-in 16x16 48/96 kHz Dante port for interoperability with other Dante enabled equipment, making it the perfect choice for AV and broadcast use where space is limited.

Both the Qu-3 and Qu-3D are 32 input channel, 96kHz digital audio mixers, combining high performance audio processing and professional features with ease of use and hands-on control.

While both are suitable for a wide range of applications, the compact size and screen angle are primarily designed for desktop use in AV, conference, broadcast and studio. 

All Qu models include:

• 96kHz FPGA Processing
• 38 Inputs to Mix (32 Mono/Linkable, 3 Stereo)
• DEEP Processing Ready
• 12 Mixes (6 Mono/Linkable, 6 Stereo) + LR
• 4 Mono/Linkable Matrix
• 6 Stereo FX Engines + Dedicated Returns
• 128×128 Intelligent SLink Port for Everything I/O
• 32×32 USB Audio Interface
• 8 SoftKeys
• AES Output

All eight Qu mixers are built on a unified platform across four frame sizes, each with a Dante-enabled variant, ensuring there is a Qu to fit every application.

Thanks to its SLink port, Qu-3/5/6/7 can be connected to the Everything I/O family of rack and stage box expanders making it a flexible, mix ‘n’ match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems.

Who Is the Allen & Heath Qu-3D Designed For?

The Allen & Heath Qu-3D is designed for professional users who need the flexibility of Dante networking combined with the power and simplicity of the latest Qu platform. It is particularly well suited to corporate AV installations, conference centres, education facilities, houses of worship, broadcast environments, live production companies and recording applications where Dante-enabled devices form part of the audio system.

Built around Allen & Heath's 96kHz XCVI processing engine, the Qu-3D combines intuitive hands-on control with advanced digital audio networking via its integrated 16x16 Dante interface. This allows seamless integration with Dante-enabled amplifiers, DSPs, stage boxes, recording systems and audio-over-IP networks.

For organisations planning new AV infrastructure or upgrading existing Dante systems, the Qu-3D provides a compact, professional-grade mixing solution that delivers excellent sound quality, flexible routing and straightforward operation while remaining ready for future expansion.

Why Would I Want Dante Audio Networking?

Dante allows multiple audio devices to communicate over a standard Ethernet network, reducing the need for large analogue multicore cables and simplifying system expansion. Audio can be routed between compatible mixers, stage boxes, amplifiers, DSPs, recording systems and other Dante-enabled equipment using standard network infrastructure.

For AV installations, education facilities, conference centres, houses of worship and broadcast environments, Dante provides greater flexibility when distributing audio between rooms, equipment racks and production areas. It can also simplify recording and playback workflows by allowing audio channels to be transported directly across the network.

If your system already contains Dante-enabled equipment, or you expect future expansion, the Qu-3D provides a straightforward way to integrate with existing audio-over-IP networks while retaining the familiar Qu mixing workflow.
