10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Professional control and intuitive workflow

The Allen & Heath QU-5D is designed for engineers and venues that need high-end performance in a streamlined footprint. The 7” capacitive touchscreen gives you clear access to metering, routing and processing tools without complex menus. With 17 motorised faders and four customisable layers, you can move quickly between different mixes and show layouts. Eight assignable SoftKeys help with tasks like mute groups or FX toggling, keeping key functions always at hand.

This compact surface is well-suited to installs or rackmount use. Scene and user presets allow different operators to save workflows, making the QU-5D an ideal fit for venues with rotating engineers or shared spaces. Whether you’re mixing FOH or monitoring, you’ll have what you need up front.

Seamless Dante integration

The QU-5D features a built-in 16x16 Dante interface for fast, reliable networked audio. You can send and receive 16 channels over standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling, reducing the need for analogue multicore or patch bays. It’s fully compatible with Dante-enabled gear like stageboxes, amps, speaker processors and recording interfaces.

This makes it perfect for fixed installations or multi-zone venues where flexible routing and minimal cabling are priorities. With support for 48kHz and 96kHz sample rates, the QU-5D works cleanly across various Dante systems, and there's no need to install an optional card—everything is onboard and ready to go.

Powerful 96kHz processing

At its core, the QU-5D uses Allen & Heath’s XCVI 96kHz FPGA engine to deliver transparent, low-latency audio across all inputs and outputs. With 36 channels to mix—including 32 mono and two stereo—you get precise EQ, dynamics and FX control for everything from band setups to multi-speaker conferences. There are 12 mixes and 4 matrix outputs for sending signals to monitors, zones or recorders.

The built-in Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) handles up to 32 mics with ease—ideal for speech-heavy events where multiple presenters or contributors are active. With six internal FX engines, plus support for DEEP and RackExtra add-ons, the QU-5D is equipped for demanding live sound and recording environments.

Flexible expansion and control options

The intelligent SLink port on the QU-5D allows I/O expansion using both legacy dSnake (48kHz) and modern DX/GX (96kHz) hardware. You can connect stageboxes up to 100m away over standard Ethernet, which simplifies setup and makes it easy to scale the mixer for different venue sizes. Whether you're upgrading an old system or designing a new one, the QU-5D slots in easily.

Remote control is built-in via MixPad and 4You apps on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. These apps give access to EQ, routing and monitor mixes from anywhere in the venue—ideal for soundchecks or on-stage adjustments. Additional tools include stereo USB-A recording, 12V lamp support and footswitch inputs for easy scene or FX control.

Reliable multitrack recording and playback

For capturing performances, rehearsals or live events, the QU-5D offers multitrack recording direct to SD or USB-C. You can record up to 32 channels at 48kHz to USB-C, or 16 channels at 96kHz to SD card—without needing a computer or interface. Tracks are saved as standard WAV files for easy import into your DAW.

Playback is equally straightforward. You can run virtual soundchecks or trigger backing tracks straight from the mixer. The USB-A port supports stereo recording and file transfer. With simple, robust recording options built-in, the QU-5D helps you manage live sound and capture every show with confidence.
