Allen & Heath Qu-Pac 16×12 Compact Mountable Mixer

The Qu-Pad app gives you freedom

Add Allen & Heath’s Qu-Pad iPad app to your rig and you’ll have the freedom to adjust your monitors from onstage, tweak the PA while roaming about the venue, then mix the show from FoH. Qu-Pad connects to the Qu-Pac via Wi-Fi and gives you instant access to all live mixing settings and parameters. Whether you’re mixing your band live, recording in the studio, or you’re in charge of setting up a permanent sound installation for your school, church, or company conference hall — you’ll find the Allen & Heath Qu-Pac to be an outstanding solution that’s at once flexible, scalable, and rock-solid reliable.

AnalogiQ preamps and 24-bit conversion, for warm, musical sound

16 Allen & Heath AnalogiQ total-recall preamps strengthened the Qu-Pac. The DSP-coupled preamps provide phantom power, zero crossing detection, and a padless 1dB-step gain stage for maximum transparency and gain precision. High-grade, low-latency 24bit A-D converters and D-A converters capture the analog signal. A&H spent a lot of effort perfecting the AnalogiQ design to provide you great transparency, minimal distortion, and no noise.

iLive FX sourced from A&H’s pro touring boards

The dynamics and FX algorithms onboard Qu-Pac are sourced from the FX used in Allen & Heath’s iLive pro touring boards. iLive FX are used by many top audio engineers instead of plug-ins and outboard effects units. Qu-Pac — as do all Qu models — rocks four stereo iLive FX engines chock full of expertly crafted emulations of legendary reverbs, delays, modulators, flangers, and more. What’s more, this impressive FX library can grow with future firmware releases. Effects are returned to the mix on dedicated stereo return channels (each with a dedicated 4-band PEQ), so you don’t have to tie up your input channels.
