Allen & Heath Qu-5D Digital Mixing Console Dante

Description

The Allen & Heath Qu-5D is a compact digital mixing console designed for live sound, AV, installation, and production environments where powerful processing and networked audio integration are required. Building on the capabilities of the Qu-5, the Qu-5D adds an integrated 16x16 Dante interface, allowing seamless connection to Dante audio networks at 48 kHz or 96 kHz.

With 16 mic/line inputs, 12 XLR outputs, motorised fader control, USB-C and SD card multitrack recording, and Allen & Heath’s DEEP Processing and FX engines, the Qu-5D provides a flexible and professional mixing workflow in a compact format. Its redesigned user interface, chromatic metering, and SLink expansion port make it well suited to fixed installations, venues, houses of worship, education spaces, and live production setups.
