After 100's of gigs in the bag i can say for sure the QU16 is incredible. So easy to use, sounds so great, and all the knobs and controls still feel like new after 1000's of adjustments. If you are looking for a very capable small mixer with 16 mic pre's and 3 stereo channels, 7 auxes, multi track recording its a no brainer.

A really thorough, clear and comprehensive run through of the QU features, thanks very much!

Superb! So can rec via DAW and Q drive simultaneously.Good back up option.

thank you!!! Really good video, I have never used one of these before (im a midas/Behringer guy) and I have one of these next week, was really worried about using it but I am a bit more confident now.

I use the QU-32 and it's a great board. Most problems can be worked out given enough blood, sweat and tears. For me, I've never had an issue. Great Video even though it's been a while since published.

Nice video Alex. Interesting and indeed :)

may take me a while but i really want this mixer this video is right on point!!

Great video. I'm just about to switch over.

Cant tell you how long I've searched for this info before a massive live show tomorrow... not knowing this machine. Thanks pal!

Great tuition 🤘

Great video. I have a QU-16 which I really like, but I have external gear such as a ART pro VLA II compressor that I like to use...How would I get this in my signal chain?

I got the TF5 ( YAMAHA) and it is amazing mixer!

Im getting some really great recordings from my presonus 16.4.2 pres, How does this stack up? Im looking to upgrade always!!

Hey Alex I have Qu32....How do I send final mix back to Pro Tools after processing through the board?

If you are you a Q-DRIVE does it have to be audio wav files, mp3 or a daw session to be able to have the tracks show up on the 16 channels

I need a mixer for theatre productions, was considering SQ5 but it may be an overshot as I don't really need majority of it's functions. We don't have complex band performances. This QU16 appears to be simpler and friendlier. Any comments? Thanks

hi and thanks. how i can record from a digital sound board with my zoom H5? Its the same as with the analog sound board? best regards @walocortes

I have the same desk and it's awesome. The only thing I struggle with is the FX. I manage to send FX to the main / front of house P.A., but I struggle to get FX on my monitors. I normally assign Mix 1 and Mix 2 as monitors. Some artists wants FX on their monitors. How does one do that? Do you know? Do you have a video available?

Hello Can anyone please answer my question, I am using a Qu-16. How can I obtain the same output on L+R on other stereo outputs like Mix 5-6, Mix 7-8 & Mix 9-10.

Hello what is the sound quality of this mixer and also does the company have their own DAW like presonus and studio one

Hey Studiopares, is there a function on the board to link two mono channels as a stereo pair?

я Использую свой Qu PAC как аудио интерфейс и меня все устраивало (классная маршрутизация по юзб) но я поменял Ноутбук на более новый и мой пульт начал ИКАТЬ ( я запускаю плей-бэки по ЮЗБ кабелю на 18-19 шину а метроном на 20-21 и при этом с 1-16 использую как микшер, играю командой) появляется постарений шум как метроном только медленнее и металлический цифровой звук! на шине 18-19. не подскажите как убрать это?

Can you assign 2 line inputs to 1 fader (to work as a stereo fader) and if you can, is it possible to create as many stereo faders as the maximum amount of your inputs (combined) in the back? (The left faders which are not assigned to inputs will be discarded in this setup)

I own a midas f and am wondering about this one. While controlling my daw, lets say i want to use the a&h eq. For example track 1 in daw is going to track 1 im a&h. Can i use the a&h eq for that? Can i control my vsts as an mackie universal controller? If i use more than 16 channels do i have access to "next page" or im locked to those 16? Thanks!

First time user for digital desks - need something I can use for small bands, karaoke etc. Would this desk be over the top or could you recommend something?

I hear you say like , very easy and, very simple .wth.. for me i can say that maybe after 4 years of learning this Allen & Heath QU-16 what its all does :D

At first glance it kinda reminds me of my old Yamaha ProMix.

Can someone tells me what is the difference between this mixer and the chrome qu 16? Is there a huge difference between them or just the visual one?

Hi, I have a serious problem with my ALLEN & HEATH QU24 Mixer. I bought it in the USA, it worked there but once I brought it to my country in Africa (Guinea), it no longer works. The Message that is displayed (Currrent user does not have permission to access these setting). Please help me find the solution.

How do you get a jacked source to a channel, whenever I connect my phone to the sound board it goes to the ST2, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Hey, is there a way of outputting main mix through main L&R, then streaming a different mix through the audio interface? Thanks

I have a question about using this similar to the way I use my analog board while recording in my studio. What I’d like to know is, if I’m running eight microphones to a drum kit, but I want to go through my ADAT eight input unit, and then into my apogee interface, can I do that via the outs on the back of the Allen and Heath? Basically what I would like to do, is use all of the processing on the board, compression EQ gate etc. and print it into my ProTools session, just like I would in my chain on my analog set up. Will that work? Can I actually track and have the effects from the Allen and Heath print via ADAT?? Thanks in advance.

my concern is that: example, I am using AR2412 dSnake and I want all input from dSnake: 2 question: 1) how to control full 24 input in the board? 2) can I use 24 input from dSnake as well as 16 input local simultaneously? It will become 36input in total.

Are these primarily live mixers?

Mine doesn't have the Graphic EQ already set up in order to do the fader flip thing, is there something I need to be doing prior in order to set that up? Cheers!

thanks for the video and i have a question for you sir. can i use allen and heath qu-16 for mixing in a daw with it?

Can you explain in detail about how to interface Qu pad app will Qu32 with wifi router ?

Could some please explain to me how exactly I connect and get working monitors? I have two powered monitors that I am connecting XLR ... but Im getting no sound.. ! I'm not even really sure where to plug them into the back of the board ..lol ...I;m assuming Mix output, so In order to get sound to my monitors do I have to go through the entire D snake/ set up process wow! ? Could someone please help or maybe provide a tech support number ? Thanks ... I really need to get working need monitors soon with this .. thanks you.!

What are you doing if you wish to turn mix to computer / DAW. Mix a song out of the box or hybrid

Nice overview. Just one question, though: the intermittent fan noise in your video, is that from the mixer?

nice

How can I Hear Mix 1..etc? Although I select the mix, I always hear LR. Thanks

bonjour , je viens de découvrir cette console dans un établissement scolaire, pour atelier radiophonique au jeunes de cette établissement, mais j 'ai pas de documentation en français pour la maitre en marche ,quelqu 'un peu m'aider? merci d'avance

Can you record with out a drive?

Question: Can aux 1+2 an 3+4 be linked as stereo outputs as well? I would love to be able to have 5 stereo iem's. :D

If I use the USB with my computer, can Windows (this is crucial, Windows itself, not the DAW) recognize each channel as both an input and output device (it is also crucial that EACH channel is recognized, not pairs of channels)? If not, what mixer can you recommend that does?

does it have banks to expand channels, so more channels can be controlled from my Reasons daw

How many monitor mixes can this do?

Can you please tell me which is the best portable hard drive for the QU 32

cool Mixer. Please work it next time. Pump some good vibes through it into them studio monitors. Bro you in the studio 🤣🤣🤣 turn it up 😂 🙂🙂 rock that Qu-16

Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$

What I want to know is how can you connect this with audio interface and record on cubase

Would this desk be a good mixer for a DJ? Or would it be a little too much?

Is That Fan noise coming from the QU-16?

Can you show a mix in progress?

how do u switch on phantom power..anyone please

Does Allen & Heath Qu 16 Have DCA groups ...

It's funny how DJ market is always overpriced. This mixer cost similar to Xone DB4 which is far more less complicated and has minimum ins and outs plus it has no tyouch screen. It's just amazing really. I bet AH will make new DB line with touch screen like this mixer and charge DJ's ar least 3K for it or even more.

This mixer good Dj mixer?

companies need to forget the analog paradigm with these desks. remove the physical ins and outs off the console, why be forced to run analog snake when you have cat 5 ? have a stage box with all ins/outs, router and processing essentially like QuSb and have the desk out front on cat 5 or WiFi.. exact Qu16 desk as just a controller with faders and LCD and no processing would make things much more flexible

No se ve nada

DOOD!

This guy should work on his Tom Hardy impression and hire himself out as a soundalike.

nobody can see what is on your screen. need to bring the camera overhead to see that.

Maybe ok for a live desk. Absolutely horrible for recording. My ZEDR16 blows this away

Why is well kinky why does it keep rubbing it

16 faders? Fine. 16 channel paths? Inexcusable on any digital mixer 48+ physical inputs. Who buys such an inflexible piece of hardware? Is it $500? That would be justifiable. If more than that, it’s a mistake.

Very bad quality video! Almost not visible the letters.

I have never been a fan of Allen & Heath, it is junk for a very expensive price. this company is only based on making a profit, but quality is hard to find. if you are looking for a mixer, then look more at Presonus that is more quality and you get a lot more for your money. and the price is a lot lower

pls stop petting it!

Can you stop stroking it and just talk about it?

Bla Bla Bla ... talk talk talk !!!!! My ears are starting to enter the boredom phase Work this thing out, we need to hear some sounds WTF

Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
