QU-32 Digital Mixer with AB168 Digital Stage Box and Case

Protect your investment from the moment you get it. This kit pairs together the Allen & Heath QU-32 live sound mixer, the Allen & Heath AB168 digital stage box and an SKB custom mixer case.

Allen & Heath QU-32 Digital Mixer
The Allen & Heath Qu32 is the 32-channel version of A&H's new digital console. It is the product of years of research protocol, and the culmination of their expertise in preamps, EQ, versatile routing and ADDA processing. AnalogiQ total recall preamps feature zero crossing detection and an advanced padless 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 24-bit analog to digital converters matched to high quality 24-bit digital to analog converters to deliver the required outputs. The AnalogiQ design has been refined to offer superb transparency, minimal distortion and an ultra-low noise floor, with a warm, musical sound that is missing from some digital consoles. Skeptics gather around. These are broad, warm, spacious and ultimately musical preamps with color and character that are a beautiful fit for any project.

Allen & Heath AB168 Digital Stage Box
AB168 is a portable AudioRack, providing 16 XLR inputs and 8 XLR outputs when connected to a GLD-80 or GLD-112 mixer, or to an AR2412 AudioRack. Featuring 16 mic preamps with Phantom Power indicators and 8 XLR line outs, AB168 runs on Allen & Heath's proprietary dSNAKE protocol. The AB168 unit connects over a single Cat5 cable to the GLD mixer or to an AR2412 AudioRack via a secure dSNAKE EtherCon port. A second EtherCon port is provided for daisy-chaining to another AB168 box or connection of a ME personal mixing system. AB168 auto updates its firmware to synchronise with the GLD system.

SKB Rolling Mixer QU32 Case with Doghouse
This roto-molded moisture controlled flight case is lighter weight than previous bulky flight cases. The exterior is double-walled, roto-molded of Linear Medium Density Polyethylene (LMDP) for maximum strength and rigidity with four locking casters, six spring-loaded handles, eight steel heavy-duty latches. The interior features custom foam blocks and a roto-molded hinged doghouse for management of all of the back connectors. The overall weight is lighter than the equivalent road cases while providing maximum security in transport.
