Designed for mix engineers, studio producers, broadcast technicians, corporate AV integrators, and touring musicians, the Qu-3 combines 36 mixing channels, 16 studio-grade mic preamps, and 9 motorised faders into a compact unit that sits comfortably alongside your DAW workstation or live console setup. Whether managing multi-mic studio tracking, live venue sound, or complex panel broadcasts, the Qu-3 brings flagship processing power to space-critical production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1684\" height=\"947\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vQi04Xbb3E0\" title=\"Introducing: Qu-3 \u0026amp; Qu-3D\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlagship 96 kHz XCVI Core Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowered by Allen \u0026amp; Heath's proprietary 96 kHz XCVI FPGA engine, the Qu-3 delivers pristine audio fidelity with ultra-low latency under 0.7 ms. Upgraded microphone preamps and high-performance 96 kHz AD\/DA converters capture every subtle harmonic detail from your sound sources. With 36 input processing channels and DEEP Processing architecture ported from the flagship dLive mixing console, engineers gain access to studio-standard modelled compressors and processing blocks directly embedded within channel strips without adding digital latency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Assistive Mixing Suite\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoundchecks and live mixing operations are streamlined through an array of integrated smart tools. The onboard Gain Assistant quickly evaluates incoming audio levels to establish optimal preamp gain, continuously monitoring inputs to prevent unexpected digital clipping. For speech-heavy applications such as panel discussions and conferences, the latency-free 32-channel Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) automatically manages multi-microphone gain sharing. Additionally, the Feedback Assistant identifies and eliminates problematic room resonances using up to 16 targeted filters per output mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeamless Multitrack Recording \u0026amp; Everything I\/O Expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Qu-3 functions as a complete digital production hub with three independent recording pathways. An integrated 32x32 USB-C interface allows direct multitrack streaming to Mac or Windows DAWs, while an onboard SD card slot supports computer-free multitrack recording (up to 32 channels at 48 kHz or 16 channels at 96 kHz). For background playback and fast reference captures, a top-panel USB-A port handles stereo recording. Remote stage expandability is provided via a 128x128 SLink port, enabling plug-and-play connectivity with Allen \u0026amp; Heath Everything I\/O stage boxes, ME personal monitor systems, and companion digital consoles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36 inputs to mix comprising 32 mono or linkable channels plus 2 stereo line inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e96 kHz XCVI FPGA processing core delivering sub-0.7 ms system latency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 recallable XLR\/jack combi microphone\/line preamps with transparent AD\/DA conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 smooth 100 mm motorised faders arranged across 6 customisable channel strip layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-inch 1000-nit capacitive touchscreen with dedicated channel displays and chromatic LED level meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 mix outputs configurable as 6 mono\/linkable and 6 stereo aux\/group mixes, plus 4 matrix outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 multi-FX engines with dedicated stereo return channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDEEP Processing ready for dLive-derived studio compressor and FX modelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated 32x32 USB-C audio interface for seamless DAW tracking and playback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect SD card multitrack recording and playback without a computer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo audio recording and playback via top-panel USB-A connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent Gain Assistant and Feedback Assistant for automated level and frequency control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32-channel Automatic Mic Mixer for seamless corporate AV and panel speech management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128x128 SLink expansion port for Everything I\/O stage boxes and console networking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 user-assignable SoftKeys and single\/dual footswitch connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree remote mixing control via Qu-MixPad for engineers and Qu4You for musician monitor mixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty desktop enclosure with optional 19-inch rackmount kit compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96 kHz Desktop Digital Mixing Console\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixing Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 Inputs to Mix (32 Mono\/Linkable, 2 Stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96 kHz XCVI FPGA Engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Latency:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;
