Allen & Heath Qu-7D 38-Channel Digital Mixer With Dante

Description:

The Allen & Heath Qu-7D is a professional 38-input digital mixer with built-in Dante connectivity, designed for live sound, touring, theatre, houses of worship, corporate events, broadcast, installations and professional AV applications. Powered by a high-performance 96kHz XCVI processing core, the Qu-7D combines premium audio performance with flexible routing, extensive I/O and intuitive hands-on control.

The Qu-7D features 33 x 100mm motorised faders across four customisable channel strip layers, giving engineers fast access to input channels, mixes, FX sends, FX returns and other important mixing functions. A 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, dedicated channel controls, configurable chromatic channel meters and eight assignable SoftKeys provide an efficient and intuitive workflow for live mixing.

With 32 XLR/Jack Combi mic/line inputs, 20 XLR outputs, two TRS outputs, two stereo line inputs, an XLR talkback input and AES3 stereo digital output, the Allen & Heath Qu-7D provides extensive connectivity for professional audio systems. The integrated 128x128 Intelligent SLink port also allows connection to compatible Allen & Heath Everything I/O expanders.

A major advantage of the Qu-7D is its integrated 16x16 Dante interface, supporting 48kHz and 96kHz operation. The dedicated locking EtherCon Dante connection allows the mixer to integrate with Dante-enabled audio equipment and larger networked audio systems without requiring an additional external Dante interface.

For recording and playback, the Qu-7D includes a 32x32 USB-C audio interface, USB-A stereo recording and playback, and SD card multichannel recording and playback. These features make the Qu-7D suitable for multitrack recording, virtual soundcheck, DAW production and live recording workflows.

The Qu-7D also includes 6 Multi-FX engines with dedicated stereo returns, Gain Assistant and Feedback Assistant, while its DEEP Processing-ready architecture provides access to advanced compatible processing options. The combination of 96kHz processing, Dante networking, flexible I/O, motorised faders and multichannel recording makes the Allen & Heath Qu-7D a powerful digital mixing console for professional live sound and installed audio applications.
