Allen & Heath has added wireless personal mixing to its Qu series of mixers.

The Qu-You app allows up to seven performers to control monitor mixes using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The interface uses chunky thumbwheel level controls for four groups of sources, plus a master mute and output level control. Double-tapping on a group gives access to individual channel metering, send levels and stereo pan. Groups can be named for instant recognition and channels can be assigned to groups via simple checkboxes, allowing the user to create their perfect custom mix.

‘With Qu we’re building a complete ecosystem of mixers, stage boxes, recording tools, apps and more – whatever engineers and artists need for mixing live or in the studio,’ says Senior Product Manager, Nicola Beretta. ‘Qu-You is designed to be super easy to use in the heat of the moment, so performers can get up and running with it almost instantly. All the functions they need are at their fingertips, and unlike some apps, all functions are available in either orientation, so you won’t see guitarists fumbling to turn their phone and play a solo at the same time.’

Qu-You is available now from the Apple App Store and is compatible with Qu-16, Qu-24 and Qu-32 live, studio and installation mixers.
