The Allen & Heath Qu-3 is a compact digital mixer that combines the capabilities of the new Qu generation with an exceptionally small desktop footprint. The mixer processes 36 inputs to the mix and runs on the powerful 96 kHz XCVI core, with support for DEEP Processing and six stereo FX engines.

For control, the Qu-3 features 9 motorised 100 mm faders, six configurable layers and a clear touchscreen with a refreshed user interface. Each channel also has its own display showing channel name, type or socket number, as well as a chromatic level meter. The built-in Gain Assistant and Feedback Assistant help make setup and soundchecking faster and more straightforward.

The Qu-3 is also well equipped for recording and system integration. A 32×32 USB-C audio interface enables multichannel audio connection to a computer, while multitrack recordings can be made directly to SD card. Stereo recording and playback is available via USB-A. The 128×128 SLink port allows connection to compatible Allen & Heath Everything I/O stageboxes and other Allen & Heath systems.

Thanks to its compact form factor, extensive routing and professional processing, the Qu-3 is suited for a wide range of applications including live sound, AV, studios, theatres, conferences and fixed installations where extensive functionality is needed in a limited space.

Important: the standard Qu-3 does not include a built-in Dante interface. For that, the Qu-3D is the model to choose, adding a 16×16 Dante interface at 48/96 kHz as standard.
