Allen&Heath QU-16 Chrome

Allen&Heath QU-16 - digital mixer for live and studio, which in addition to standard functions offers an Auto Mic Mixing feature, Spectrogram, and additional monitor mix. It features chrome buttons for the potentiometers and faders found in the GLD series.

The new Automatic Microphone Mixer (AMM) helps manage the volumes of multiple microphones simultaneously, ensuring an optimal and balanced volume for each, while reducing background noise and eliminating the possibility of feedback.

The Spectrogram function is very useful for visualising the frequency spectrum, helping to eliminate problematic frequencies and resolve acoustic resonance issues.

Qu v1.8 Chrome offers many more possibilities for monitor mixes, allowing Stereo Groups to be used in Mix mode.
