sorry for my english, it had to come out in early July, the 1.5 firmware?
V1.5 is now released on the web. Have a look at the new features here and please read the Release Notes before downloading the firmware.
New versions of DAW Control and the Windows driver have also been released, please check the details on the product Software page.
Updated Qu documentation including the V1.5 User Guide are also available online.
no color change channel, no, no multi ipad iphone application control aux, I am very disappointed with this update, I was expecting more, 'excuse my rant but I’ve gone from Presonus Studiolive (where I had all these options) to qu 24 thinking to make a big jump in quality ', maybe I’m wrong.
Awesome update for me! having names stored in scenes is exactly what i need for the several bands that i support!
@EGGStudio
Why do you compare to Presonus SL? There is a lot more in the Qu than in the Presonus! I’m shure you made a big jump in “quality” when you swapped to Qu-24 from a Presonus! Especially the reliability is one of the most important issue on a live-console! I never had any issue on my Qu-16 nor my GLD-80! Whereas i’ve had severel times to fight with freezed Presonus SL! As well the Audio-Quality of A&H Boards are just awesome and the processing works flawless! (I don’t wanna tell you about the motor-fader…)
However, if your happier with the Presonus - no one will charge you! But please don’t compare an apple with a pear! Keep requesting friendly and reasoned! As more user “thumb up” your request - as more you got the chance to see that in a next firmware!
perhaps I expressed myself badly and I apologize, definitely more than 24 qu presonus SL, but on a mixer from 2700 € to have the ability 'to control iphone with aux option seems simple enough, I think a & h wants to sell ME-1 but I am having a band of 6 musicians means spending 3000 .tutti other mixers have application for iphone-ipad, I hope in the next update.
Looks good, I look forward to trying it out! Quite keen to try the new patch options!
EGGStudio, did you not read the feature set advertised before you parted with your €2700 and bought the mixer? It’s all there to read, and it’s all implemented. Any new features are a bonus, at no extra cost. I agree with eotsskleet that requests here should remain friendly and reasoned. There’s no need to be irrational.
Hi.
Just a thought before I jump in with such excitement and a cup of tea…
Do I need to uninstall the older ASIO driver in PC or windows?
It has always been the thing to do however I have noticed some drivers now collect data settings and remove older versions and install over top… hmm?
anyone?

1.5 looks great! Congratulations and thanks to all the A&H Qu Team. I really appreciate the new features!
Upgrade does look great. Thanks. Now what is everyone going to fuss about besides multiple ipads? This console is getting pretty loaded with needed features.
I’d still like subgroups on the QU-16 so that I can do group processing (compression/FX)! but you’re right - this system just gets better and better 
I don’t see anything unfriendly or irrational in EGGstudio’s posts. The only irrational thing here is putting his post as irrational. Calling his posts irrational is just showing how touchy some one can be.
Thank you for this very good update!
But i agree with the opinion that an iPhone and iPad App for the AUX channels would be a great feature - especially for bands without an sound-engineer. In fact: I had a Presonus 16.02 mixer and i was very satisfied for the price. I liked the Channel Strip technology - a real good mixer. But as is bought the Qu-16 the first impression was the much more better sound, the great effect sections and the great possibilities with the motor faders. For me the QU-Series from Allen & Heath is the best mixer in this price class. The sound of the mixer ist really fantastic - and this is the most important thing on a mixer.
I use the Qu-16 the most time in my home studio and i like the DAW functions so much. Thank you for this great product. Last week i bought a ZED-10FX for small gigs and i wondered how good this little mixer works and sounds. In the past i was a big fan of Presonus and Yamaha Mixers - this opinion has changed. I am very satisfied with products from A&H. And the best is: The products become more and more functions for free i didn’t expected. THANK YOU
THANK YOU ALLEN & HEATH!!!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Great. Now it’s time to work on multiple remote control connections and a simple iPhone mix app (or make it possible that we can make it)!
yep. i’m really happy about my qu16. keep em coming.
id would personally love the chance of opening up the qu16 to usage as a portastudio, without computer. (i.e. recording some of the tracks, while playing others)
there is something about using your ears, not your eyes.
If there is to be a mobile app for controlling it, I’d suggest it’s developed for the most prevalent platform rather than the one whose users are most vocal (Q1 2014 sales - iOS: 15%, Android: 81%). As it happens, there’s already a basic Android app out there that I used just last week (QuMixDroid). Currently only controls the main mix faders and pan but that was all I needed.
This update is really great !!!
Well done, and thank you Allen & Heath
Thanks Allen and Heath. This pretty much makes the Qu-16 complete for me. Can’t wait to upgrade my church’s mixer to v1.5 and start using DCA’s again.
But now I have a problem, my heart had convinced my head that analogue (GL2400 or ZED16) was the way to go for my own PA. Now I’m not so sure…
This a a great update! I needed the channel naming and the DCAs are a nice bonus. The only important feature still missing for me is multiple iPad/iPhone support. The members of my band are still upset that they lost the capability to do their own monitor mixes when I upgraded from the PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2 to the QU-24. I hope it’s in the next firmware update.
Ok. Here I go again being the killjoy commenter. While I think the idea has some merit I just get frustrated hearing about spoiled musicians fussing about not having their own stage mixers. Come on. I grew up in 60’s playing music with 1 or 2 mains ONLY. Maybe a 5-8 channel mixer. No ind EQ. No compressor. NO aux channels. I sang playing drums. Rarely could I even hear much of the mains but I managed to sing on pitch and we made it work. Monitors only came into fashion in mid to late 70’s and separate monitor consoles maybe mid 80’s. I remember lots of big shows I did in 80’s with 1-4 mixes from FOH if we were lucky.
Ok that said, I am also not crazy about folks having their own control unless they are on IEMs.
I don’t want to chase feedback when their finger slips on a touchscreen. Folks need to be playing and singing. Not dipping into a mixer during or between every song like it is a bowl of popcorn.
I know that technology has progressed to this point but that does not always make it right. I can talk all day about those things.
So take it for what it is worth. I have been on both sides but today my rules dictate that I maintain control. I do some pretty large shows. I have done national TV shows and concerts. I have found over the years that I cannot relinquish too much control or it gets out of hand.
Again. This feeling in this case involves passive monitors not IEM. With IEM I really don’t care how bad they want to mess their ears up.
Ok. Rant done for today.
