Allen & Heath Qu-7 38-channel Digital Mixer

Allen & Heath Qu-7 Digital Mixer

The Allen & Heath Qu-7 Digital Mixer is a high-capacity professional mixing console designed for demanding live sound, broadcast, and installed audio environments. Built on the powerful XCVI processing engine, it delivers ultra-low latency performance, high-resolution audio processing, and exceptional routing flexibility for complex productions.

The Qu-7 features 32 high-quality microphone preamps and supports up to 36 input channels, including 32 mono and 2 stereo sources. This expanded input structure makes it suitable for larger live setups such as concerts, theaters, conferences, and multi-zone installations where channel availability and control precision are critical.

A 96kHz FPGA-based processing core ensures pristine audio quality with accurate signal reproduction across the entire signal chain. Combined with upgraded AD/DA converters, the Qu-7 preserves every sonic detail from input to output, maintaining clarity and dynamic range even in high-density sessions.

The console includes a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, 33 motorized faders, chromatic channel metering, and per-channel display indicators for efficient visual feedback and workflow navigation. Four customizable layers and eight SoftKeys enhance operational flexibility, enabling fast access to critical functions during live performance.

Advanced processing tools include six stereo FX engines, DEEP processing compatibility, Gain Assistant, Feedback Assistant, and a fully integrated Automatic Mic Mixer, making the Qu-7 suitable for both musical and speech-based applications. Integrated recording options include SD card multitrack recording, USB-C 32×32 audio interface functionality, and USB-A stereo recording and playback.

With SLink expansion support and extensive analog, digital, and network I/O, the Qu-7 offers a scalable and future-ready mixing platform designed for professional audio engineers who require power, speed, and reliability.
