Intuitive & Easy To Use
Increased WorkflowSometimes mixers with huge amounts of processing power and complex functionality can be hard to work with and can have a negative impact on your workflow. Thankfully the Qu-32 Chrome Edition was built with ease of use in mind.
Allen & Heath used their years of experience of first-hand digital mixing to create an ideal user interface to make for better workflow and a stress free mixing experience. If you’re a beginner or a digital mixing veteran you’ll find this mixer very easy to use.
Touchscreen Control
Quicker WorkflowThe Allen & Heath Qu-32 Chrome Edition comes equipped with 800 x 480 touchscreen which features an integrated data encoder and can display up to 16 million colours. The touchscreen comes built into the heart of the digital mixer to allow for easy access and the ability to gain quick access to all the settings.
You can navigate your way round on the touchscreen by using the purpose built keys and screen tabs which allow you to view all the effects, channel processing, USB controls, set up menus and more.
AnalogiQ Preamps
24-bit ConversionBuilt into the Qu-32 Chrome Edition is 32 AnalogiQ total-recall preamps. Designed with the DSP to deliver accurate gain and sound transparency. They feature phantom power, pad-less, 1dB-step gain stage and zero crossing detection.
The 24-bit A/D and 24-bit D/A converters capture the analog signal with high-quality and low latency. A lot of time was spent by Allen & Heath on the AnalogiQ design to deliver unmatchable transparency with as little distortion and unwanted noise as possible.

Total Recall
Automated Moving FadersIn the late 1970s we began to see moving faders on some of the larger industry leading mixing consoles. Now digital technology has developed, moving faders have become quite common and can be found on most digital mixers of this level. It is now a vital feature for quick and efficient mixing especially when dealing with several different monitor mixes.
On the Qu32 you can switch between different mixes with the push of a button and it will automatically move the faders to a saved mix. The Allen & Heath Qu-32 Chrome Edition comes equipped with 33 motorized ALPS faders which are set over two layers to give you easy access to each channel and master. You can use the master fader to dynamically control the whole mix.
