Our take on the Allen & Heath Qu-16C
The Allen & Heath Qu-16C is a digital mixer with USB audio streaming, built for streamers or small studios running many mics at once. It is a desk fixture, not a travel mixer.
Sixteen preamps and seventeen motorized faders give hands-on control of every channel. A 5-inch touchscreen shows the mix, and 100 scenes can be recalled. USB audio streaming connects it to a PC. It also lists automatic mic mixing and a mixing app. The unit weighs 7.3 kg. Retailers rate it 4.8 across 44 ratings.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
