Flagship processing, now in a compact Qu mixer
The Qu-6 combines the compact portability of the best-selling Qu-24 with the powerful 96kHz FPGA processing of Allen & Heath's acclaimed XCVI Core, the same engine that drives the company's flagship SQ and dLive series. This advanced digital mixer features six cutting-edge Multi-FX engines, each with dedicated return channels, and offers full Everything I/O connectivity for maximum flexibility and expandability. Enhancing its intuitive workflow, the Qu-6 is equipped with a large 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, vivid channel strip displays, customizable layers, and eight programmable SoftKeys, delivering a seamless, hands-on mixing experience in a space-saving design. At Sweetwater, we've worked with Qu series mixers since their original unveiling, and we're genuinely impressed by the Qu-6's elevated capabilities and refined user experience.

Its output architecture features a stereo main LR bus, 12 mix outputs (comprising six mono or linkable auxes and six stereo aux/group mixes), and four matrix outputs that can also be configured as stereo pairs. For physical connectivity, the Qu-6 includes 24 XLR mic/line combo jacks, two stereo line input pairs (each with dual TRS connectors), and a dedicated talkback input. On the output side, it offers 16 XLR outputs, two TRS outputs, and a stereo AES3 digital output, ensuring seamless integration into both live sound and studio production environments.
Multitrack recording made effortless
Recording with the Qu-6 is refreshingly straightforward. It features a 32-in/32-out USB-C audio interface, allowing seamless integration with your DAW for multitrack recording and playback. For standalone operation, the built-in SD card slot supports 32-channel recording and playback at up to 48kHz and supports 16 channels at 96kHz, eliminating the need for a computer.
