Allen & Heath Qu-3D Compact 96kHz Desktop Digital Mixer with 16x16 Dante

Where desk space is tight and the audio network is Dante, the Qu-3D is the Qu to reach for. It shares the 8+1 fader desktop frame and 96kHz XCVI core of the Qu-3 and adds a built-in 16x16 Dante interface running at 48kHz or 96kHz on a dedicated locking EtherCon port, with an optional 32x32 channel upgrade available for larger systems.

The mix engine provides 32 input channels with 36 inputs to mix, 12 mixes, 4 matrices and a stereo main LR output. Sixteen XLR/jack combi mic/line inputs with updated preamps, 8 XLR outputs and an AES3 digital output handle local sources, and the 7-inch 1000-nit capacitive touchscreen, per-channel displays and chromatic channel meters give at-a-glance control in AV, conference, broadcast and studio rooms.

Gain Assistant and Feedback Assistant take the stress out of setup, the integrated 32 channel Automatic Mic Mixer handles speech-heavy events without added latency, and recording is built in through a 32x32 USB-C interface, SD card multitrack and USB-A stereo capture. A 128x128 SLink port links to Everything I/O expanders, and the mixer can be rack mounted with the optional 19-inch kit.
