All New Hardware.

The Qu-3 take the next generation appearance of the new Qu series, packed with multiple hardware improvements to elevate the sonic performance and mixing experience, and repackage it for desktop use.

Audio: Updated microphone preamps and high-performance 96kHz AD/DA converters combine to deliver pristine audio to and from the XCVI core, preserving every detail of the source.

Control: Every channel features a channel display – showing channel name, channel type, or socket number – and a chromatic channel meter for at-a-glance level information, and the new touchscreen accommodates a completely redesigned user interface.

Capture & Playback: Reliable Recording and Playback. Anywhere. Every Qu model is packed with versatile recording and playback options, with an integrated 32×32 USB-C audio interface, 32-channel multitrack support via SD card, and simple stereo recording and playback through the USB-A port, whatever your application.

UI Updated Workflow: The original Qu series was well loved for its ease and speed of use, making it the perfect mixer for engineers coming from the analogue world. The new Qu takes this further, maintaining a focus on “walk up and mix” usability while adding fully customizable layers, more assignable Soft Keys for workflow optimization, and flexible routing options in addition to the classic 1:1 Qu routing, all accessible via a newly developed, fast and responsive, user interface.

DEEP Processing. Assistive Tools: With its XCVI core, Qu is DEEP Processing ready, bringing acclaimed add-ons from our flagship dLive, system to the Qu platform for the first time. In addition, Qu features the Feedback and Gain Assistants from the CQ series to take the stress out of setup and speed up your soundchecks.

Gain Assistant Faster Setups: Adjusting the gain for each channel might not be the most thrilling task, and it can take up a lot of your setup time when you have multiple channels to manage.

Qu’s Gain Assistant streamlines this process by quickly and precisely setting the ideal gain level for one or more input channels, and can continuously monitor levels during the performance to avoid any unwanted peaks or surprises.

AMM Automatic Mic Mixer: Qu’s 32 channel Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) makes it the perfect choice for mixing conferences, panel talks, and TV shows. It’s fully integrated in the mixer, with no extra latency, so you don’t need to route the audio to an internal DSP rack or external plugin system.
