Allen & Heath Qu-5D — Rack-Mount Digital Mixer with Dante Networking
Qu-5D Overview
The Allen & Heath Qu-5D is a professional digital mixing console in a rack-mount form factor, combining the proven Qu series mixing engine with integrated Dante audio networking for flexible, scalable system design. Built for installed venues, touring rigs, and broadcast environments where space is at a premium, the Qu-5D delivers full digital mixing capability without a traditional surface footprint. Its Dante integration enables low-latency audio distribution across standard IP networks, making it well-suited for multi-room installations, remote I/O configurations, and networked AV systems. Audio engineers, system integrators, and houses of worship will find the Qu-5D a capable centerpiece for both fixed and portable deployments.
The rack-mount chassis allows the Qu-5D to be integrated cleanly into existing equipment racks, and full control is accessible via the Allen & Heath Qu-Pad app or a connected control surface, supporting flexible front-of-house and monitor workflows.
