Description
The Allen & Heath Qu-6D is a compact 38-in/24-out 96 kHz digital mixer powered by the XCVI core, delivering pristine, detailed audio through updated preamps, converters, and an integrated 16×16 Dante interface. Its enhanced control surface features a responsive 7″ touchscreen, motorised faders, clear channel displays, and four customisable layers for fast, intuitive operation. Recording flexibility is built in with a 32×32 USB-C interface, SD-card multitrack capability, and USB-A stereo capture. The intelligent SLink port enables full Everything I/O expansion with up to 128×128 channels of 96 kHz audio. DEEP Processing, Gain and Feedback Assistants, and a 32-channel AMM further streamline setup and mixing for demanding live, studio, and installation environments.

XCVI Processing & Audio
The Qu-6D employs a 96 kHz XCVI engine with enhanced mic preamps and premium AD/DA converters, delivering clear, detailed, and professional-grade sound that captures every nuance in both live and studio environments.
