It mixes 38 inputs into 12 mixes, 4 matrices and main LR. The Qu-7D Dante mixer suits auditoriums, houses of worship and campus venues where a large-format Qu console must connect to a networked audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Allen \u0026amp; Heath AH-QU-7D work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated locking EtherCON port carries 16x16 Dante channels at 48kHz or 96kHz that can be patched to any input or output. The console can take networked wireless receivers, feed a Dante DSP or amplifier, and distribute program audio to overflow rooms and recording systems. Allen \u0026amp; Heath offers a 32x32 Dante channel upgrade add-on for systems that need more network capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the platform matches the Qu-7: 32 preamps, 32+1 faders on 4 layers, six RackExtra FX engines, a 32-channel Automatic Mic Mixer and a 7-inch touchscreen. The SLink port remains free for remote I\/O, USB-C provides 32x32 multitrack audio, and the SD slot records up to 16 tracks at 96kHz. Free apps for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android support remote mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Allen \u0026amp; Heath AH-QU-7D?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in 16x16 Dante\u003c\/strong\u003e — network audio on a dedicated locking EtherCON port.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32x32 Dante add-on available\u003c\/strong\u003e — more network channels when the system expands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32 mic preamps and 32+1 faders\u003c\/strong\u003e — the largest Qu surface with channel-per-fader mixing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 XLR line outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — local feeds for mains, fills and monitors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96kHz, sub-0.7ms latency\u003c\/strong\u003e — clean, low-latency processing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 stereo FX engines and 32-channel AMM\u003c\/strong\u003e — music and speech handled on one console.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSLink, USB-C and SD\u003c\/strong\u003e — stagebox expansion, multitrack USB and card recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Allen \u0026amp;
