Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Qu-5 puts a 96kHz FPGA processing core, 36 mixable inputs, and 12 mixes into a streamlined digital-mixer format. Its 16 XLR/Jack combi mic/line sockets and two stereo line input sockets cover the physical input section, while six FX engines with dedicated returns handle onboard effects. The 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, four configurable channel layers, eight SoftKeys, and 17 motorized faders let you organize access around the job. USB-C and SD-card multichannel record/playback support recording and playback workflows.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live or installed rigs needing 36 mixable inputs, 12 mixes, and configurable surface control.
- Multichannel recording or playback through the USB-C interface or SD-card slot.
- Rack-based installations using the separately available 19-inch rack kit.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Installations that require rack mounting without purchasing the optional 19-inch rack kit.
- Dante networking on the standard Qu-5; the description assigns Dante to the Qu-5D model.
