Allen & Heath Qu-SB Mixer Review

[@ironked]

I'm a sound contractor and a long time A&H dealer/installer. Last year one of my big clients started scheduling me for a couple of times a month events. At first I used my analog mixer. I was able to replace it with an SB is the amp rack eliminating a snake. Added 6 wireless mics and I set up in about an hour. I'm an old guy. It's really cut down my load and my client has been wildly pleased at the sound because I can wander around the hall with my pad.

He doesn't speak about the usb conection to the PC/Mac. Is there a Software to do a live mit with the laptop? idealy with the lan connection?

[@davonwav]

Great overview! Records to USB stick, USB powered hard drive & of course DAW 18 tracks, or just stereo live mix. Looks like best board live/studio stepping from analogue to digital. X32 seems more powerful but complex, more layers of menus.

Hi, thanks for sharing, I would like to know how to inject an external effect (Type 2290 TC.) as an auxiliare through my QU-SB Allen & Heath. Thank you for your help.

[@joevanloon]

Can you explain how to set up for recording n playback

[@halasimov1362]

I need crossover solution for 4 way stereo plus subs. Can this run 9 outputs all with dedicated crossovers on each output?

[@todds5956]

Can you hard wire it to a windows laptop? I currently use a Soundcraft ui24 and it’s great but has failed twice during a show and I can’t risk it

[@moltenpros]

My soundcraft ui24 also stopped working and I am looking to buy this to replace it. I believe the downsides to this mixer is that it can only be controlled via an Ipad. So if you don't have an Ipad you will have to add it to the budget. I am mainly looking for reliability to I am done with Soundcraft. I haven't seen any bad reviews about this Allen and Heath mixer as yet.

[@jasonnorman1350]

Im on a older UI24R and ive not had one problem,the newer ones are terrible for crashing after period of time usually 6 hours,ive just got a M32C and im having a huge problem with it,so i think The AH is the best rack unit.

[@higltypig]

7:49 yup. That's what puts me off using a tablet.

[@Tomurow]

Great review! Been waiting for a closer look at this box for a while. 🤓👍

[@simonreger]

what kind of router do you use? I am searching for a easy mini router.

[@syam5599]

[@hhoefs83]

Is this mixer to use with a MacBook Pro?

[@richarddunn-darvill8498]

How tall are you? For size reference please

[@kochensketsa4781]

do qu sb 16 it's possible to connect ethernet direct to ipad with ethernet adapter.,????

[@topperhardy1614]

Excellent review. Thank you very much.

[@hasanalikadiwala1730]

Is this mixer to use with a windows os

[@perbotn]

No, official support for ipad only. 3rd part software apps for android avaliable

[@traxadron1]

We ate having problems with usb not being recognized. Is there a specific list of usb sticks allowed ?

[@MarkKunoff]

It looks like you have the iPad wired. How did you accomplish that?

[@leeroysilk]

iPad is plugged into a charger as you cannot physically wire it direct to the QU series mixers unless you use lightning to USB connection. But that would only work for recording mixes to Garageband or something similar, to use the QU app you would still need to connect via the router.

[@tablatom]

Thanks great review. I love mine.

[@brentlycett7156]

Digitally controlled amplifier groups ....

[@abahaly8214]

Mac tab, expensive.

[@isailopez4132]

Very bing issue.. its a “wireless” controlled mixer.. but you have to provide your own router 🤦🏽‍♂️ Bigger issue.. the router I installed in my rack, interferes eith the signal of my wireless microphones!!! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ I find it very stupid to have a rackmounted system that colides with the rest...

[@wattage2007]

Use a router that does 5GHz.

[@supergitarzan]

Change your mixer router to ONLY use channel 10. that gets it out of the way of most other wireless music devices.

[@Truebleux]

That means you use RF mics. Time to upgrade to UHF…

[@АдильСылдырбаев]

На русском есть ?

[@BrianEsselbrugge]

Downvote because of in video commercial break.

[@faautobahna9416]

Horrible accent and speed combo. Man, slow down and talk clearly.
