Allen & Heath QU-3D

The Allen & Heath Qu-3D is a compact digital mixer from the acclaimed Qu series, featuring a 96 kHz XCVI processing core with support for DEEP Processing and integrated Dante connectivity. Designed for desktop operation, it combines flexible routing, extensive I/O and an updated user interface in a compact format.

The mixer provides 36 input channels, including 32 mono or linkable channels and two stereo channels, alongside 12 mixes, four mono or linkable matrices and a stereo Main LR output. Six customisable fader layers, nine motorised 100 mm faders and a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen provide intuitive hands-on control.

The 96 kHz XCVI core supports six multi-FX engines with dedicated stereo returns and DEEP Processing compatibility. Gain Assistant helps set and monitor input levels, while Feedback Assistant automatically identifies and reduces problematic feedback frequencies using up to 16 filters per output. A built-in 32-channel Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) is also available for conferences, panel discussions and broadcast applications.

Recording and playback options include a 32×32 USB-C audio interface, multitrack recording and playback via SD card, and stereo recording and playback via USB-A. The 128×128 SLink port supports Allen & Heath Everything I/O expanders and system connections. The integrated 16×16 Dante interface operates at 48 or 96 kHz through a dedicated locking EtherCon port, with an optional upgrade to 32×32 channels available.
