Allen & Heath Qu-5D 32-Channel Digital Mixer Dante
The Qu-5D takes the popular features of the compact Qu-16 and upgrades them with modern power. This 32-channel, 96kHz digital mixer is driven by Allen & Heath's powerful XCVI core, includes new FX engines, and features "Everything I/O" connectivity to ensure you always have enough inputs. The "D" stands for the built-in 16x16 Dante port, allowing seamless integration with your networked audio gear. With its big-console performance, small footprint, and user-friendly touchscreen, the Qu-5D offers a powerful and convenient mixing solution.
Pro-Grade Processing, Simple Setup
Don't let the compact size fool you — the Qu-5D is powered by the same XCVI processing engine found in Allen & Heath's top-tier professional mixers. This workhorse handles 32 channels of high-resolution 96kHz audio without breaking a sweat, ensuring your mixes are clean, detailed, and free of digital artifacts. It's pro-grade sound without the audio engineering degree.
XCVI Core Processing: Delivers crisp, high-resolution 96kHz audio across all 32 channels for mixes that sound as good as they feel.
6x Multi-FX Engines: Six dedicated effects engines with their own return channels mean reverb, delay, and modulation are always on tap — no juggling required.
Stereo Main LR & Headphone Outputs: Send polished stereo sound to the house and monitor everything privately, all from one tidy box.
A User-Friendly Interface
Plenty of digital mixers bury their best features three menus deep. The Qu-5D keeps things front and center with a generous 7" capacitive touchscreen and channel strip displays that show you exactly what's going on. Customizable layers and a wall of SoftKeys mean you set up the workflow that suits you — not the other way around.
7" Capacitive Touchscreen: A larger, responsive display puts your mix within easy reach and far fewer taps.
4x Channel Strip Layers: Organize your channels across four customizable layers so the controls you need are always a swipe away.
8x SoftKeys: Eight assignable keys let you map your most-used functions for fast, hands-on control mid-show.
Built to Connect and Travel
This is where the Qu-5D really flexes. The built-in 16x16 48/96 kHz Dante port plays nicely with other Dante-enabled equipment, making it a natural fit for networked audio setups. Bolt it into a 19" rack, plug in a lamp for those dim stage corners, and control the whole thing remotely from your device of choice. It's ready for the road and happy in the studio.
Built-In 16x16 Dante Port: Seamless 48/96 kHz interoperability with your Dante network — no extra cards, no fuss.
19" Rack Mountable: Slots neatly into your rig with the optional mounting kit for clean, secure transport.
Remote Control via Free Apps: Mix from across the room using free apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
The Bottom Line
The Allen & Heath Qu-5D is proof that a compact mixer can pack a serious punch. Featuring XCVI processing, six FX engines, a generous touchscreen, and native Dante connectivity, it delivers professional results for live bands, houses of worship, and busy studio sessions. Powerful, portable, and easy to use, it's everything a modern digital mixer should be.
