Qu-5/6/7 features 38 inputs (32 mono/linkable, 3 stereo), 12 mixes, 4 matrices, 6 FX engines (with dedicated stereo returns), and an SLink port for connecting the Everything I/O Expander. All models include a 32x32 USB-C audio interface for DAW recording. 32-channel multitrack recording/playback is possible via SD card, and simple stereo recording/playback is possible via the USB-A port.
The lineup is available in three frame sizes, each with or without Dante connectivity. The Dante interface supports 16 x 16 channels at 48/96kHz.

■Inheriting and evolving the intuitive workflow of the Qu series
While retaining the intuitive workflow that Qu is renowned for, the new generation models expand on this with four custom fader layers, more assignable SoftKeys, and flexible routing options. The user interface has been redesigned for speed and ease of navigation, keeping essential mixing functions at your fingertips.

■Inheriting the dynamics of flagship models
Qu-5/6/7 optionally support the acclaimed DEEP Processing of the flagship dLive model, providing emulations of legendary studio compressors and preamps. Additionally, they feature Feedback Assistant and Gain Assistant, adopted by the CQ series, reducing setup stress and speeding up sound checks.
