It mixes 38 inputs into 12 mixes, 4 matrices and main LR, with a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen. The Qu-6 digital mixer suits houses of worship, multi-purpose rooms, schools and corporate event spaces that need more local inputs than the Qu-5 without moving to a larger console platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Allen \u0026amp; Heath AH-QU-6 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the 24 combi XLR\/jack preamps feeds a fully processed channel, and the engine runs at 96kHz with under 0.7ms latency from local mic input to main LR. With 24+1 faders across 4 layers, most services or events can be mixed with every key channel on its own fader. Six RackExtra FX engines with dedicated stereo returns and a 32-channel Automatic Mic Mixer cover both music and spoken-word programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 128x128 SLink port connects stageboxes and Everything I\/O in dSnake, DX or gigaACE modes.
