Allen & Heath Qu-16 Chrome Reviews

Simple to use mixer with lots of functions

Bought this because I have lots of different people with different skillsets having to use it at times. Its a great simple digitals desk with lots of extra functions that can be used if you know a litttle more of how to use it.

High value mixer

Yes, its a very stable mixer i use with years and never bring me into trouble!

Sometimes there will be minor problem on the Qu-drive like recording error, that's one thing need to improve. But the other parts are very good for it price!

If there are Windows remote control thing wil be even better!

Great digital mixer for live concerts.

100/100

A world of sound capability with this mixer dont look any further

Great piece of kit!

Despite my first delivery being faulty, lots of pretty lights but no audio, I have no problem giving this desk five stars.

I expected a steeper learning curve going from an analogue desk to digital, but was up and running in no time.

Now to dive into the guts of what this desk will do of course mean some manual reading, but basic in and out to the DAW (Logic Pro X in my case) was quick and painless.

The sound is flawless to my ears, stuff I had already recorded sounded fuller and with more depth and resolution.

The touch screen works well, very responsive and the graphical readouts are useful.

I have now been using the QU16 for some weeks, I did at the start have some problems with glitching, but after changing from having the QU plugged in to a USB Hub to directly into the computer that seems to have been cured and I have had no other issues. I have had no regrets at all and recommend this desk to anyone thinking of buying.

Qu-16

My first time with a digital mixer gotta say got a little confused with it at first, but to be expected. It is a fantastic bit of kit.

Having had this mixer for quite a while now, would like to add that this is probably the best mixer I`ve ever used, cut down set up time massively and produces a crystal clear sound. Allen and Heath continually add software updates and the QU app is a god send. Superb!!!

Amazing desk

I have been using the QU-16 for 3 months now. Simply amazing. It's all our old heavy rack gear in one box. Highly recommend

Allen and Heath Qu16 Review

Great desk for FOH or SOS monitoring. Have been using this unit for over year now and it has been flawless. very happy with the soung quality of mic pres .. all in all a great digital mixer. Highly recommended

Excellent Digital Mixer

Very happy with the performance of this mixer. I bought it for live sound mixing (in pubs and clubs) to reduce the amount of outboard gear I needed to bring to a gig. It is very easy to use. I have also used it at the last two gigs for live channel recording, allowing me to post produce the events. Much fun indeed and considering the features, quite affordable!

Brilliant

This desk is quite simply magnificent. Really easy to set up and works straight out of the box. The instructions are simple to understand and not longwinded. I'm not the most technically minded person but found it to be really easy to use and understand. The sound is superb, the FX are amazing, the PEQ and GEQ are really easy to use and very effective. I still cannot believe how good this desk is. The build quality seems to be up to Allen & Heath's usual rugged and robust standards. Not yet found anything negative to say about it. Five stars all round.

5 Star Product

This is my first digital desk but found the QU really easy to get to grips with. Build quality is solid like you would expect from A&H and it looks good too - received many oohs and aahs on it's first outing! Sound wise, there was noticeably less coloration than previous desks I've used and seemed to be less noise/hiss through the PA when the venue was silent. Best of all, A&H are continuing to add new features with each update so it keeps getting better! Would definitely recommend.

great for small gigs

first release it has troubles with motor faders, they stop working after few hours, but with a new update, the bugs are totaly fixed. The desk didnt ever crashed, it has a lot of powerfull tools, great effects. the best is qu drive, very simple use like an adat, just record and stop. I made few concertst with it and works fine, recording are of studio quality.

Excellent Console for the Price.

This is an excellent Console for the Price,The Qu is one the easiest consoles to use from my experience.I have personally used many different consoles but the Qu always stands out from the rest for the ease of use and the fact it is packed with features that make mixing in the live situation a breeze.

As Allen & Heath are constantly releasing new firmware that improve the functions of the console this makes it stand from others in the same market.My personal favourite is the fact that you can do virtual sound check using the built in multitrack recorder called Qu drive.This enables me to soundcheck the band with out them needing to be in the room.Also the iPad control of the console is great as you can setup the entire console from the iPad and mix from it when you have no FOH position in certain venues.

I would highly recommend this console to anyone you is new to the Digital market as you can mix with from it with only a little bit of time learning were everything is.

I'm very pleased

I am having this for 2 weeks now and used in two live events, so far very pleased with all its features and the quality, which is exactly what I was looking for a while.
