Allen & Heath Introduces the Qu-3 and Qu-3D Next-Generation Digital Mixers

Allen & Heath has launched the Qu-3 and Qu-3D, the latest evolution of its widely adopted Qu series of digital mixing consoles. The new models retain the compact footprint the Qu line is known for while introducing significant upgrades in processing power, connectivity, and user experience.

At the heart of both consoles is a 96kHz XCVI processor that enables DEEP Processing capabilities, delivering enhanced sonic performance over previous Qu generations. The updated hardware supports 32 mono input channels plus a USB stereo channel, six mono (pairable) mixes, six stereo mixes, and four dedicated mixes across six engines. A 32-channel Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) is included alongside Gain and Feedback Assistants to streamline live sound management.

The redesigned user interface spans six fully customizable layers with flexible patching throughout. Local I/O includes 16 combination inputs, a stereo input, eight line outputs, and an AES output. Both models offer a 32×32 USB-C interface and a 128×128 SLink port for expanded system integration. The Qu-3D adds a 16×16 Dante port for networked audio environments. An onboard SD card slot supports 32×32 recording at standard sample rates or 16×16 at 96kHz.

RTZ Audio Visual Associates works closely with Allen & Heath as a authorized reseller.
