Description

Reliable Recording and Playback. Anywhere.
Every Qu model is packed with versatile recording and playback options, with an integrated 32×32 USB-C audio interface, 32-channel multitrack support via SD card, and simple stereo recording and playback through the USB-A port, whatever your application.
Updated Workflow
The original Qu series was well loved for its ease and speed of use, making it the perfect mixer for engineers coming from the analogue world. The new Qu takes this further, maintaining a focus on “walk up and mix” usability while adding 4 fully customisable layers, more assignable SoftKeys for workflow optimisation, and flexible routing options in addition to the classic 1:1 Qu routing, all accessible via a newly developed, fast and responsive, user interface.
Faster Setups
Adjusting the gain for each channel might not be the most thrilling task, and it can take up a lot of your setup time when you have multiple channels to manage. Qu’s Gain Assistant streamlines this process by quickly and precisely setting the ideal gain level for one or more input channels, while continuously monitoring levels during the performance to avoid any unwanted peaks or surprises.
Say Goodbye to Feedback
Qu’s easy to use Feedback Assistant automatically identifies and removes problematic frequencies with up to 16 filters per output, allowing you to mix with confidence and put feedback worries behind you.
Automatic Mic Mixer
Qu’s 32 channel Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) makes it the perfect choice for mixing conferences, panel talks, and TV shows. It’s fully integrated in the mixer, with no extra latency, so you don’t need to route the audio to an internal DSP rack or external plugin system.

All New Hardware.
The new Qu retains the much-loved appearance and form factor of the original Qu series, but with multiple hardware improvements to elevate the sonic performance and mixing experience.

Audio
Updated microphone preamps and high-performance 96kHz AD/DA converters combine to deliver pristine audio to and from the XCVI core, preserving every detail of the source.

Control
Every channel now features a channel display – showing channel name, channel type, or socket number – and a chromatic channel meter for at-a-glance level information, and the new touchscreen accommodates a completely redesigned user interface.

Richtige Entscheidung

stefan k. 03.01.2017

Nach langem hin und her und testen zwischen Behringer und Allen & Heath haben wir uns für den Q24 entschieden. Das Pult ist sehr analog aufgebaut und verständlich. Monitor-Mixen noch nie so übersichtlich mit den Mix 1 - 10 Tasten - die Monitore lassen sich ganz einfach über die Fader mischen - also kein mühsames fummeln an den Drehknöpfen. Die 10 Soft Button sind sehr praktisch um gespeicherte Szenen mit verschiedenen Effekten einfach und schnell abzurufen wenn z.B. kein FOH Mischer eingesetzt wird. Der Touchscreen schien mir etwas klein, aber es braucht einfach nicht mehr. Verarbeitung, Effekte und Tonqualität sind auf professionellem Niveau. 100% Kaufempfehlung!
