History & design
Unveiled in 2025, the Qu-7 is the largest model of the new Qu generation and succeeds the Qu-32. It uses Allen & Heath's XCVI 96 kHz core, with 32 mono and 3 stereo channels, 12 mixes, 4 matrices, 8 DCAs, 8 mute groups and 6 FX engines. The AMM automatic mixer handles 32 channels. The Qu-7D variant adds a Dante interface.
The surface offers 32 + 1 motorised 100 mm faders across 4 layers, a colour display and meter per channel, 8 SoftKeys and a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen. The rear panel brings together 32 mic/line combo inputs, 2 stereo line inputs, a talkback input, 20 XLR outputs and an AES output, with the SLink port for the brand's stageboxes.
USB-C works as a 32 × 32 audio interface, the SD card records 32 tracks and USB-A captures the stereo mix. On the Qu-7D, Dante 16 × 16 on etherCON goes up to 32 × 32 with a paid licence. At 800 mm wide and 476 mm deep, the Qu-7 weighs 16.7 kg and is controlled with Qu-MixPad on computer and tablet.
