Great piece of kit!
Paul8081 01.01.2016
Despite my first delivery being faulty, lots of pretty lights but no audio, I have no problem giving this desk five stars.
I expected a steeper learning curve going from an analogue desk to digital, but was up and running in no time.

Now to dive into the guts of what this desk will do of course mean some manual reading, but basic in and out to the DAW (Logic Pro X in my case) was quick and painless.
The sound is flawless to my ears, stuff I had already recorded sounded fuller and with more depth and resolution.
The touch screen works well, very responsive and the graphical readouts are useful.

I have now been using the QU16 for some weeks, I did at the start have some problems with glitching, but after changing from having the QU plugged in to a USB Hub to directly into the computer that seems to have been cured and I have had no other issues. I have had no regrets at all and recommend this desk to anyone thinking of buying.

5 Star Product
AVG 13.04.2014
This is my first digital desk but found the QU really easy to get to grips with. Build quality is solid like you would expect from A&H and it looks good too - received many oohs and aahs on it's first outing! Sound wise, there was noticeably less coloration than previous desks I've used and seemed to be less noise/hiss through the PA when the venue was silent. Best of all, A&H are continuing to add new features with each update so it keeps getting better! Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant
Robert1501 23.06.2014
This desk is quite simply magnificent. Really easy to set up and works straight out of the box. The instructions are simple to understand and not longwinded. I'm not the most technically minded person but found it to be really easy to use and understand. The sound is superb, the FX are amazing, the PEQ and GEQ are really easy to use and very effective. I still cannot believe how good this desk is. The build quality seems to be up to Allen & Heath's usual rugged and robust standards. Not yet found anything negative to say about it. Five stars all round.

High value mixer
Johnson Ho 12.09.2021
Yes, its a very stable mixer i use with years and never bring me into trouble!

Sometimes there will be minor problem on the Qu-drive like recording error, that's one thing need to improve. But the other parts are very good for it price!

If there are Windows remote control thing wil be even better!

My first time with a digital mixer gotta say got a little confused with it at first, but to be expected. It is a fantastic bit of kit.

Having had this mixer for quite a while now, would like to add that this is probably the best mixer I`ve ever used, cut down set up time massively and produces a crystal clear sound. Allen and Heath continually add software updates and the QU app is a god send. Superb!!!

Excellent Console for the Price.
MatthewDavies 29.01.2014
This is an excellent Console for the Price,The Qu is one the easiest consoles to use from my experience.I have personally used many different consoles but the Qu always stands out from the rest for the ease of use and the fact it is packed with features that make mixing in the live situation a breeze.

As Allen & Heath are constantly releasing new firmware that improve the functions of the console this makes it stand from others in the same market.My personal favourite is the fact that you can do virtual sound check using the built in multitrack recorder called Qu drive.This enables me to soundcheck the band with out them needing to be in the room.Also the iPad control of the console is great as you can setup the entire console from the iPad and mix from it when you have no FOH position in certain venues.

I would highly recommend this console to anyone you is new to the Digital market as you can mix with from it with only a little bit of time learning were everything is.
