Allen & Heath Qu-Pac 16×12 Compact Mountable Mixer

Allen & Heath Qu-Pac Rackmount Digital Mixer

The Allen & Heath Qu-Pac is a compact rackmount digital mixing solution designed for installations, live sound reinforcement, and portable recording setups where space-saving design and remote control operation are essential. Despite its small form factor, it delivers full digital mixing capabilities powered by a high-performance multi-core processing architecture.

The Qu-Pac features 16 recallable AnalogiQ microphone preamps, providing high-quality, low-noise audio capture with precise gain control. It supports up to 32 input channels and 12 output mixes, making it suitable for a wide range of professional audio applications including conferences, houses of worship, small venues, and broadcast setups.

At the core of its interface is a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen, which provides direct access to processing, routing, FX, and system configuration. This is complemented by remote control capability via the Qu-Pad iPad application, enabling full wireless mixing control from anywhere in the venue.

The system includes a 32×32 USB audio interface for multitrack recording and DAW integration, along with Qu-Drive support for standalone USB recording and playback. Additionally, the Qu-Pac supports dSNAKE digital expansion, allowing connection to remote stage boxes and expansion systems for increased input capacity up to 38 channels.

Integrated processing includes four stereo FX engines, 4-band parametric EQ, compression, gating, delay, and graphic EQ on mix outputs. The system also features DCA groups, mute groups, signal generators, and RTA tools for precise audio control and system tuning.

Designed for flexibility and installation use, the Qu-Pac combines powerful digital mixing, remote operation, and expandable connectivity in a compact rackmount format.
