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: Great digital mixer - 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. ## Features - 16 AnalogiQ total recall preamps with zero crossing detection and an advanced paddles 1dB step gain stage - High contrast metallic finish controls offer excellent low light visibility and enhanced tactile control - 800 x 480, sixteen million color 5-inch touchscreen and dedicated data encoder - 17 motorized ALPS faders allow instant access to all channels and masters in a compact space, plus a dedicated master fader which dynamically follows the mix selection - iLive FX, 100-scene recall, USB audio streaming, automatic mic mixer, Qu-Pad Mixing App, and more! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0194MMPM0 | | Audio Input | USB | | Best Sellers Rank | #68,080 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #376 in DJ Mixers | | Brand | Allen & Heath | | Brand Name | Allen & Heath | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 43 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06938122243798 | | Included Components | QU-16C Chrome Mixer | | Item Type Name | Digital Mixer | | Item Weight | 7.3 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | American Music and Sound | | Manufacturer Part Number | AH-QU-16C | | Model Number | AH-QU-16C | | Number of Channels | 16 | | Output Connector Type | XLR | | Output Connector type | XLR | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 750408393647 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Allen & Heath - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 7.3 Kilograms - **Number of Channels:** 16 - **Power Source:** Corded Electric ## Images ![QU-16C Rack Mountable Compact Digital Mixer, Chrome Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SoT+iGvxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you do multi-track recording directly from the usb port on the control panel?** A: Yes - 18 channels of 48kHz, 24bit recording and playback.
