Flagship processing, now in a compact Qu mixer

The Qu-5D combines the compact portability of the best-selling Qu-16 with the powerful 96kHz FPGA processing of Allen & Heath's acclaimed XCVI Core, the same engine that drives the company's flagship SQ and dLive series. This advanced digital mixer features six cutting-edge Multi-FX engines, each with dedicated return channels, and offers full Everything I/O connectivity for maximum flexibility and expandability. Enhancing its intuitive workflow, the Qu-5D is equipped with a large 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, vivid channel strip displays, customizable layers, and eight programmable SoftKeys, delivering a seamless, hands-on mixing experience in a space-saving design. Here, we've worked with Qu series mixers since their original unveiling, and we're genuinely impressed by the Qu-5D's elevated capabilities and refined user experience.

All the I/O you need — right where you need it

Designed for maximum flexibility, the Allen & Heath Qu-5D boasts a highly versatile I/O configuration with 36 mix inputs, including 32 mono channels — linkable for stereo operation — and two dedicated stereo channels. Its output architecture features a stereo main LR bus, 12 mix outputs (comprising six mono or linkable auxes and six stereo aux/group mixes), and four matrix outputs that can also be configured as stereo pairs. For physical connectivity, the Qu-5D includes 16 XLR mic/line combo jacks, two stereo line input pairs (each with dual TRS connectors), and a dedicated talkback input. On the output side, it offers 12 XLR outputs, two TRS outputs, and a stereo AES3 digital output, ensuring seamless integration into both live sound and studio production environments.

Multitrack recording made effortless

Recording with the Qu-5D is refreshingly straightforward. It features a 32-in/32-out USB-C audio interface, allowing seamless integration with your DAW for multitrack recording and playback. For standalone operation, the built-in SD card slot supports 32-channel recording and playback at up to 48kHz and supports 16 channels at 96kHz, eliminating the need for a computer. Additionally, a USB-A port enables stereo recording, playback, and data transfer. Finally, for networked audio environments, the Qu-5D includes a 16-in/16-out Dante interface, supporting sample rates up to 96kHz, ensuring effortless compatibility with AoIP-based recording setups.

Lightweight and no white cast

I really like this sunscreen. It feels lightweight on the skin, absorbs nicely, and doesn’t leave a white cast. It gives good hydration without feeling greasy and works very well under makeup.

Nearly Perfect Sunscreen
Color: Deep, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Sunscreen is lightweight and smooth. Also, does not leave my T-zone super oily like other sunscreens. Only issue is the shade is still not dark enough, so it takes a little time to fade into my skin.

Great for Sensitive Skin
Color: Non-Tinted, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My face has always been sensitive to sunscreens, so I have to be careful with what I use on my face. (Others can cause burning sensations). This sunscreen is great. I had no issues, and unlike other sunscreens, sweat running didn't cause my eyes to burn or water which was great. Keeps my skin protected against the hot Florida sun, so it works!
