Audio Signal Processing 

The following diagrams illustrate the Qu signal flow and processing. The Qu-24 and Qu-32 include Group 

and  Matrix  mixes.  All  models  include  a  built-in  automatic  mic  mixer  (AMM)  for  the  first  16  channels.  A 

more detailed diagram and further information is available within the Qu Mixer Reference Guide which can 

be downloaded from the Allen & Heath website.
