The Allen & Heath Qu-3D is a compact digital mixer that combines the powerful capabilities of the new Qu generation with integrated Dante connectivity. The mixer processes 36 inputs to the mix and uses the 96 kHz XCVI FPGA core, with support for DEEP Processing and six stereo FX engines.
For fast and clear operation, the Qu-3D features 9 motorised 100 mm faders and six configurable fader layers. Each channel has its own display showing the channel name, channel type or socket number, complemented by a chromatic level meter for quick visual feedback.
A key difference from the Qu-3 is the built-in 16×16 Dante interface, supporting both 48 and 96 kHz and fitted with a dedicated locking EtherCon connector. For larger Dante systems, the interface can optionally be expanded to 32×32 channels. This makes the Qu-3D particularly well suited for network-based AV systems and fixed installations.
For recording and playback, the mixer also offers extensive capabilities. The built-in 32×32 USB-C audio interface enables multichannel audio connection to a computer, while up to 32 channels can be recorded and played back directly via SD card. Simple stereo recording and playback is possible via USB-A. The 128×128 SLink port additionally provides integration with compatible Allen & Heath Everything I/O stage boxes and other Allen & Heath systems.
Thanks to its combination of a compact form factor, professional 96 kHz processing, flexible routing, comprehensive recording features and an integrated Dante interface, the Qu-3D is a versatile solution for live sound, AV installations, theatres, conference rooms, studios and rental applications.
