Allen Heath Qu24 24 Kanal Digital Mixer

Allen & Heath unveiled the Qu-24 compact touchscreen mixer for the first time at NAMM 2014. This board is everything we loved about the Qu-16 but with more ins & outs, more processing power, and a streamlined interface.

Every mic input on the Allen & Heath Qu-24 is still accessible via a single layer. So even with the additional 8 mic/line inputs you won t have to hunt through menus to adjust the preamp gain of that snare mic that s clipping. And speaking of preamps: the AnaLOGIQ pres in this thing are identical to those in the Qu-16, so rest assured A&H didn t cut corners trying to cram more stuff into an already-tremendous board.

Each input has a dedicated motorized fader which can be controlled in real time at the desk, recalled from stored scenes, and adjusted over Wi-Fi using the free iPad app. You can even connect the Qu-24 to a remote box up to 400 feet away using a single CAT5 ethernet cable for wired remote mixing.

With 24 mic preamps, the Qu-24 shines at recording full bands and ensembles. The internal Qu-Drive multitrack recorder lets you record up to 18 tracks of 24/48 stereo .wav files. It also behaves as and interface for most leading DAWs (incl. Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, and even Reaper), allowing you to mix music with real long-throw faders rather than dragging sliders one at a time.
