Qu-16"s sixteen AnalogiQ total recall preamps feature zero crossing detection and an advanced pad less 1dB step gain stage, closely allied to the DSP for optimal gain accuracy and audio transparency. The analog signal is captured by high class, low latency 24bit analog to digital converters matched to high quality 24bit digital to analog converters to deliver the required outputs. Years of research have gone into ergonomics to deliver a wonderfully natural layout and workflow. The 800 x 480, sixteen million color Touchscreen and its dedicated data encoder provide super-fast, easy access to all settings. Dedicated keys and screen tabs quickly guide you to meter and RTA views, FX racks, channel processing, USB audio control, scenes, setup menus and more. Qu-16 features 17 motorized ALPS faders, 16 arranged over 2 layers, allowing instant access to all channels and masters in a compact space, plus a dedicated master. It boasts 4 stereo iLive FX engines, featuring lovingly crafted emulations of legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators, flangers and more. Qu-16 can store up to 100 full Scenes for recall at will, and single parameter updates can be blocked using per scene Recall Filters or a Global Recall Filter. Qu-16"s built-in interface streams multitrack audio to your Mac channel 1 to 16, the Main LR mix and 3 selectable stereo pairs. The returns from the Mac can be assigned to the 16 Mono channels plus stereos. The interface is class-compliant on Mac OS X and will be recognized by any DAW.

And a second question, are there no analog line outs for a second board or processor?** A: Stream audio to the Mac - 24 channels of audio are sent via USB B. Go to the Setup / Audio / Output Patch screen to check the patch: 1-16 = CH1-16 Insert send (Post-Preamp) 17-22 = Patchable in pairs 23-24 = LR post-fade There are 12 XLR mix outputs - 4 mono mix + 3 stereo mix + LR plus 2 channel AES digital output patchable from any mix and Stereo Alt Out TRS jack output patchable from any mix and PAFL.Thank you Michael. **Q: Is this a powered mixer** A: No, this is a passive (unpowered) mixer. **Q: Whats the difference between allen & heath qu-16c rack mountable compact digital mixer, chrome edition and this one?** A: Nothing important that I know of. I think the chrome edition is simply a different color scheme. It originally came out with an updated firmware version that added some cool stuff. But you can update the non-chrome edition to the same firmware. **Q: Does this work on pc because I asked Full Compass and they said no bu I checked manufacturer site and they said yes?** A: Hello Yes You can connect the QU consoles to a PC or Mac to stream 24 channels of audio to a DAW. The QU consoles will also work as a controller for said DAW. However, there is no application for PC or mac to Control the QU console. If you want to do that you will have to use the QU-pad app for Ipad.
