Allen & Heath Digital Mixing Consoles
Allen & Heath offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of digital mixing systems on the professional audio market.
Its current portfolio spans everything from ultra-compact mixers to 128-channel flagship platforms and includes:
- CQ Series
- Qu Series
- SQ and SQ+ Series
- Avantis Series
- dLive Series
- AHM Audio Matrix Processors
- networked I/O and stageboxes
- ME Personal Mixing
- Control, networking and expansion solutions
This makes it possible to build systems for applications ranging from rehearsal rooms and small venues to theatres, corporate environments, broadcast facilities, festivals and major touring productions.
dLive : Flagship Digital Mixing
The Allen & Heath dLive platform sits at the top of the brand's digital mixing range.
Designed for demanding professional environments, dLive offers 128 input channels and 64 mix buses with powerful 96 kHz FPGA processing.
The system is based around separate MixRacks and control surfaces, allowing engineers to build configurations tailored to their specific workflow.
dLive is available in both S Class and C Class formats :
A major strength of Allen & Heath digital consoles is the way processing is integrated directly into the mixing environment.
DEEP Processing provides modelled compressors, preamps and other processing tools directly within the console architecture, reducing the need for external plug-in servers or hardware processors.
Allen & Heath has further expanded its processing ecosystem with RackUltra FX, bringing next-generation effects processing to platforms including dLive and the latest SQ+ systems.
For engineers, this means sophisticated processing can remain part of a tightly integrated and low-latency workflow.
Avantis : Powerful Mixing in a Compact Format
Allen & Heath Avantis combines high-end digital mixing capabilities with a compact dual-screen control surface.
The platform is designed for engineers who require substantial processing power and I/O flexibility without moving to the physical scale of a large-format touring console.
With the latest Avantis V2.0 software and dPack, the platform can support up to 96 input channels and 56 configurable mix buses, together with expanded Dyn8 processing and RackUltra FX capabilities.
The Avantis Solo provides the same platform philosophy in an even more compact single-screen surface.
The new Avantis Ultra
The Allen & Heath Avantis Ultra takes the Avantis platform further with increased processing power and premium tools included as standard.
Built around the same 96 kHz XCVI FPGA engine, Avantis Ultra offers 96 input channels and 56 configurable mix buses, while retaining the fast, intuitive workflow and dual 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreens that define the Avantis experience.
SQ and SQ+ : The Standard in Compact Digital Mixing
The Allen & Heath SQ Series has become one of the most established compact digital mixing platforms for professional live sound.
SQ is built around a 48-input, 96 kHz XCVI processing core, combining high-quality audio with fast operation and a compact footprint.
The familiar SQ & SQ+ family includes consoles such as:
SQ+ series retains the proven 48-input 96 kHz XCVI architecture of SQ while introducing significantly expanded processing capabilities.
SQ+ is designed to build on the strengths that made SQ popular with engineers working across touring, venues, installations and studios.
For professionals looking for a compact digital console that combines portability with advanced processing, SQ and SQ+ provide a particularly versatile platform.
Qu Series : Iconic Design, Next-Level Performance
The Allen & Heath Qu Series has long been one of the brand's most accessible digital mixing platforms.
The current generation takes the concept considerably further, introducing a 96 kHz XCVI processing core and bringing technologies previously associated with higher-end Allen & Heath systems into the Qu environment.
Qu is designed for users who want an intuitive physical mixing surface while still benefiting from modern digital processing, remote control and expandable I/O.
The Qu platform provides a natural bridge between straightforward digital mixing and the more advanced SQ, Avantis and dLive ecosystems.
Each Qu frame is available in a standard version or a Dante-enabled “D” version.
CQ Series : Ultra-Compact Digital Mixing
The Allen & Heath CQ Series is designed for musicians, bands, small venues, AV professionals and content creators who need powerful digital mixing in an extremely compact format.
All CQ mixers use 96 kHz processing and share the same intuitive philosophy, including Quick Channels for fast setup and Complete Channels for deeper control. The range is available in three models: CQ-12T, CQ-18T and CQ-20B.
The choice between the three CQ models mainly comes down to I/O requirements and control style.
CQ-12T is the most compact hands-on option, CQ-18T adds more inputs and wireless flexibility, while CQ-20B provides the largest I/O capacity in a remote-controlled stagebox format.
All three models deliver the same core CQ philosophy: fast setup, intuitive operation and professional 96 kHz digital mixing in a highly portable package.
AHM : Audio Matrix Processing for Installation
Allen & Heath is not only a console manufacturer.
The AHM Series is a family of powerful audio matrix processors developed specifically for fixed installation.
The range includes:
AHM systems can scale from a single meeting room to much larger distributed installations.
They are supported by Allen & Heath's ecosystem of remote I/O, Dante connectivity and configurable IP controllers, allowing system integrators to create complete audio infrastructures around one platform.
Everything I/O : A Scalable Audio Ecosystem
One of Allen & Heath's strongest advantages is its extensive range of remote I/O and networking products.
The Everything I/O ecosystem allows compatible Allen & Heath systems to place inputs and outputs exactly where they are required.
Different expanders are designed for different applications, including stage use, fixed installation, wall mounting and Dante networking.
This ecosystem can be used with platforms including Qu, SQ, Avantis, dLive and AHM, depending on the specific product and configuration.
Allen & Heath Analogue Mixers : ZED Range
The latest Allen & Heath Qu Series is available in three frame sizes, allowing users to choose the right surface according to the number of local inputs, outputs and physical faders required.
All models share the same 96 kHz XCVI processing core, with 32 mono channels, 3 stereo channels, 12 mixes, 4 matrices, 6 FX engines and SLink connectivity for Allen & Heath’s Everything I/O ecosystem.
From the compact ZED-6 and ZEDi-8 to larger formats such as the ZED-22FX and ZED-24, the range provides a broad selection of analogue mixers for users who value simplicity, tactile control and proven Allen & Heath engineering.
Allen & Heath DJ Mixers : Xone
The Allen & Heath Xone Series is one of the most iconic ranges of professional DJ mixers in electronic music.
Known for its distinctive analogue sound, powerful EQs, legendary Xone filters and rugged build quality, Xone has become a reference in clubs, festivals and professional DJ booths around the world.
The current range includes mixers for everything from compact home setups to flagship club and touring systems:
