Description

Allen & Heath Qu-7D is the most comprehensive digital mixer in the new Qu series: 33 motorized faders, 38 inputs (32 mono mic/line, 3 stereo), integrated 16x16 Dante interface (48/96kHz), 12 mixes, 4 matrices and 6 FX engines. 32In/32Out multitrack recording to DAW via USB-C, SD card up to 32 tracks and USB-A for stereo rec/play. 7" touchscreen, channel display and chromatic meters, 8 SoftKeys, SLink port for Allen & Heath stageboxes. With Gain Assistant, Feedback Assistant and Auto Mic Mix, this mixer is the perfect heart for any high-level audio control room.

Allen & Heath Qu-7D is the flagship model of the new Qu series, designed to offer extreme performance and cutting-edge connectivity, with the power of 96kHz processing and an integrated 16x16 Dante interface for direct integration into professional audio networks. It is the perfect answer for engineers working in AV environments, theaters, broadcast control rooms and highly complex live productions.

The equipment is impressive: 38 total inputs (32 linkable mono and 3 stereo), 12 mixes (6 mono + 6 stereo), 4 matrices, 6 FX engines with dedicated returns and 33 100mm motorized faders distributed across 4 customizable layers. The FPGA architecture with an XCVI core operates at 96kHz, offering clear sound, rich in detail, and with sub-millisecond latency, guaranteeing sound performance suitable for the most demanding contexts.

The 16x16 Dante interface (48/96kHz), with an EtherCon lock connector, allows the Qu-7D to easily integrate into IP-based infrastructures for audio routing, distributed broadcast, and corporate installations. Thanks to its compatibility with the main stageboxes and Dante devices on the market, it is a highly scalable solution.

From an operational point of view, the mixer guarantees a fast and efficient workflow: the 7" capacitive touchscreen allows for clear and direct navigation; channel displays and chromatic LED meters provide immediate visual feedback on each source; the 8 programmable SoftKeys and fully configurable settings allow the interface to be adapted to one's working method.

In addition to the Dante network, the Qu-7D's connectivity includes a 128x128 SLink port for expanding I/O with Allen & Heath stageboxes (dSnake 48kHz, DX and GX 96kHz), a 32x32 USB-C interface for DAW recording, an SD slot for multitrack recording (32 tracks at 48kHz or 16 at 96kHz) and a USB-A port for stereo recordings or quick transfers.

There are also assistive tools: the Gain Assistant quickly sets the ideal input level, the Feedback Assistant eliminates critical frequencies during soundcheck, and the integrated AMM (Automatic Mic Mixer) manages up to 32 vocal channels without requiring external DSPs.

Finally, the Qu-7D is compatible with the Qu-MixPad (sound engineers) and Qu4You (musicians) apps on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and is perfect for both fixed installations and high-level mobile systems.
