Allen & Heath Qu-32C 38×28 Digital Mixing Console – Chrome Edition

Allen & Heath Qu-32C Digital Mixing Console

The Allen & Heath Qu-32C Digital Mixing Console is a high-channel-count professional mixer designed for live sound reinforcement, studio recording, and hybrid production environments. Built on a powerful multi-core processing architecture, it combines advanced digital signal processing with a highly intuitive user interface, making it suitable for both experienced engineers and fast-paced live environments.

At its core, the Qu-32C features 32 recallable AnalogiQ microphone preamps, delivering high-resolution, low-noise audio capture with precise gain control. The system supports up to 32 mono channels and provides a total of 38 inputs and 28 outputs, making it capable of handling complex multi-source productions with ease.

The mixer includes 33 motorized faders arranged across multiple layers for fast recall and flexible control of channels, groups, and mixes. A 7-inch touchscreen provides direct access to system settings, processing, routing, and FX control, ensuring efficient navigation during live operation. Chrome edition hardware enhances visibility and tactile control in low-light environments.

Integrated USB 32×32 audio interface functionality allows seamless multitrack recording and playback directly into DAWs, while Qu-Drive enables standalone recording to USB storage. The mixer also supports the dSNAKE digital snake system and ME Personal Mixing System, providing scalable remote audio expansion and individual monitor control for performers.

The Qu-32C includes four built-in stereo FX engines derived from Allen & Heath’s iLive series, offering reverb, delay, modulation, and spatial effects with dedicated return channels. Combined with parametric EQ, compression, gating, and delay on all channels, it provides a complete signal processing environment.

Wireless control via the Qu-Pad iPad app allows remote mixing from anywhere in the venue, while scene recall, fader automation, and flexible routing make it a powerful solution for touring, installed sound, and production workflows.
