The Allen & Heath Qu-5D is a powerful evolution of the Qu series, enhanced with a built-in 16×16 Dante interface for seamless integration into complex audio networks. Engineered around a 96kHz XCVI core, the Qu-5D delivers pristine audio quality, DEEP Processing readiness, and flexible connectivity - making it ideal for installations, live sound, and professional productions requiring high channel counts and Dante compatibility.

Retaining the user-friendly form factor of the original Qu series, Qu-5D introduces hardware upgrades such as updated mic preamps, high-quality 96kHz AD/DA converters, and a redesigned touchscreen interface with chromatic channel meters. It also features a customizable 4-layer fader layout, expanded SoftKeys, and modern workflow enhancements to meet the needs of fast-paced audio environments.

With the addition of the 16×16 Dante interface, the Qu-5D can easily connect to existing Dante networks, ensuring efficient signal routing in large-scale setups. The console supports multitrack recording/playback via USB-C, USB-A, and SD card, and features built-in tools like Gain Assistant and Feedback Assistant for optimized performance and quick setup.

For users requiring world-class processing and Dante integration in a compact format, the Qu-5D is a future-ready solution.
