AudioRacks  -  All  models  are  compatible  with  the  optional  Allen  &  Heath 

AB168, AR2412 and AR84 AudioRacks. These provide remote mic inputs and 

line outputs that connect to the mixer using a Cat5 ‘digital snake’ cable up to 

100m  long.  You  can  connect  up  to  two  AudioRacks,  the  second  as  an 
expander to the first. 

 The AR2412 AudioRack cannot be used as an expander in a Qu system. 

 
Scene,  Library  and  Show  memories  -  All  Qu  mixer  memories  are 

compatible. Files created on one model can be transferred via USB key and 

loaded  on  another.  The  extra  features  of  the  bigger  models  will  be  ignored 

when their file is loaded on a Qu-16. The extra features of the bigger models 
will be reset to factory default when a Qu-16 file is loaded. 

  To  be  compatible,  ensure  all  your  Qu  mixers  are  loaded  with  the  same 

version of firmware. Check the Allen & Heath web site for the latest firmware 
available. 
 
USB Audio - A USB hard drive formatted on one model can be used on the 

other.  Stereo  and  multitrack  Qu-Drive  recordings  are  compatible.  USB  B 

audio streaming is compatible, but note that the Qu-16 is 24out/22in, the Qu-

24 is 32out/30in, and the Qu-32 and Qu-Pac are 32out/32in. 
 
Firmware  –  The  same  version  but  different  firmware  is  needed  for  each 

model.  Choose  either  the  Qu-16,  Qu-24  or  Qu-32  file  when  downloading 

firmware  from  the  Allen  &  Heath  web  site.  The  procedure  for  updating 
firmware is the same for all models. 
 
Qu-Pad, Qu-Control and Qu-You apps - These apps are compatible with all 

Qu mixers. They identify the model and load the appropriate controls when 

you log in. Qu-Pad and Qu-Control are available for iOS devices. Qu-You is 
available for iOS and Android devices. 

 Make sure the app version and mixer firmware versions are compatible.
