Hi there,

my new Qu-5 is on its way, I‘m switching from the 1st Version of Qu-16. Which SD card/which specifications is/are recommended for seamless multitrack recording?

Thanks and kind regards from Germany!

Hi Wil.
These are the specifications I was advised are suitable for multitrack recording.
SDHC, 32GB, UHS1, Class 10

Hope this is of use to you.

Hi.
Like you, I am still awaiting delivery of my Qu5 so I haven’t used these yet.
I’ve just taken delivery of a SanDisk Ultra SDHC UHS-1 (read speed of 120MB/s) so it will be interesting to see how it performs.
Just had a thought: you may be better off asking this question in the CQ forum, as the new Qu5 uses the same architecture as the CQ.

I was hoping that some new Qu user has already tried it or that there’s an official recommendation… So I‘ll have to try to find a suitable card myself. Perhaps there‘ll be a compatibility list in the future similar to the list of working USB drives for Qu-16/24/32?

SanDisk Ultra SDXC UHS-I 64 GB is recognized, can be formatted and seems to work perfectly :slight_smile:.
