Allen & Heath: Qu-6D

Precision Audio. Seamless Control. Total Flexibility.

The Allen & Heath Qu-6D is a next-generation 38-in/24-out digital mixer, purpose-built for professional live sound, studio, and broadcast environments. It combines the trusted Qu series design with powerful 96kHz XCVI core processing, enhanced DEEP channel dynamics, and integrated Dante networking for seamless audio-over-IP connectivity.

96kHz XCVI Core
At the heart of the Qu-6D is Allen & Heath’s advanced XCVI FPGA engine, delivering ultra-low latency, high-resolution audio, and DEEP processing on every channel for uncompromising sound quality.

Integrated Dante Networking
The Qu-6D includes a built-in 16×16 Dante interface (48/96kHz) with a locking EtherCon port, enabling easy integration into Dante-enabled systems for flexible, scalable digital audio routing.

Expanded I/O
Offers 38 inputs and 24 outputs, including 24 XLR/Jack ‘combi’ mic/line inputs, 2 stereo line inputs, 16 XLR outputs, and AES3 digital output. Ideal for complex routing and large-scale productions.

25 Motorised Faders & Redesigned UI
Features 25 smooth 100mm motorised faders and a vibrant 7” capacitive touchscreen with a completely redesigned interface. Each channel includes a display with name/type and chromatic metering for fast visual feedback.

Studio-Grade FX & DEEP Processing
Equipped with 6 studio-quality Multi-FX engines and DEEP processing tools including EQ, compression, gating, and delay, directly embedded into the mixer’s architecture.

Flexible Recording Options
Supports 32×32 USB-C multitrack recording, 32-channel SD card capture, and stereo USB-A recording/playback—ideal for live capture, virtual soundchecks, or studio sessions.

SLink & Everything I/O Compatibility
The SLink port allows connection to Allen & Heath’s Everything I/O ecosystem and other A&H consoles, supporting up to 128×128 channels of 96kHz audio for system expansion.
