Brand new hardware.
The new Qu mixer retains the familiar look and form factor of the original Qu series, but with several hardware improvements to elevate the sonic performance and mixing experience.

Audio
Updated microphone preamps and high-performance 96kHz AD/DA converters combine to deliver pristine audio to and from the XCVI core, preserving every detail of the source.

Control
Each channel now has a channel display – showing channel name, channel type or plug number – and a chromatic channel meter for quick level information, and the new touchscreen features a completely redesigned user interface.
