Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Allen & Heath’s Qu-6 is a 32-channel digital mixer built around a 96kHz FPGA processing core. It offers 36 inputs to mix, including 32 mono/linkable channels and two stereo inputs, alongside 24 XLR/Jack combi mic/line sockets. A 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, four configurable channel layers, and 25 motorized faders support fast access to channels, effects, and routing. Six multi-FX engines, 12 mixes, multichannel USB-C, SD-card recording/playback, and SLink expansion give it practical scope for live and studio workflows.
