## Description

Now in a feature-packed new Chrome Edition, Allen & Heath's Qu-16C reshapes digital mixing with innovative design and exceptional functionality combining to create a superb professional mixing experience. Bristling with all the features you’d expect from a top of the range digital console and incorporating technologies pioneered on the GLD and iLive digital mixing systems, Qu-16C has the power and pedigree to deliver class-leading audio performance. Hot new features in Qu V1.8 firmware include Automatic Mic Mixing and a Spectrogram for feedback-hunting. Qu Chrome Edition also features upgraded, high contrast metallic finish controls. Whether you’re switching from analog or updating your digital desk, it’s time to experience the new digital with Qu-16.

Review: Always wanted an Allen & Heath. It became affordable and went for it. Don’t regret the $$. Watched some videos online since it’s my first digital mixer. Learned a lot. The sound is amazing. The PEQ is phenomenal and being able to tune the system using my iPad is something else. Still getting used to the internal effx and the mixes but I’ve been learning as I go. It’s still easy to set up from the beginning though. I can’t imagine what the SQ models can do but for me the Qu models is enough and more.
Review: There's no need for me to go into great detail about the features of these A&H QU series mixers as they're well known and there's many in depth reviews on the internet, but I will say that these mixers are amazing to setup and run. I install and run sound systems for churches and non-profit events and have been using these A&H QU series boards whenever possible. They're very easy to setup, learn and operate which is especially important when teaching either a newbie or a volunteer who's used to analog mixers. Compared to competitor's digital boards, I feel the QU series are very intuitive and offer a good mix of on-board effects and sound shaping tools like EQ and compression. The iPad app also allows you to have complete control over the mixer via wifi, so getting stage monitors and remote aux's setup can be a one-man operation if need be since you don't have to be physically on the mixer to make adjustments.
