3.3 Differences between the Qu-16 and Qu-24
Both models operate in the same way and have a similar touch screen menu structure. The larger
model adds Groups and Matrix. Other differences are shown here:
Scene, Library and Show memories - Qu-16 and Qu-24 memories are
compatible. Files created on one model can be transferred via USB key and
loaded on the other. The extra features of the Qu-24 will be ignored when a
Qu-24 file is loaded on a Qu-16. The extra features of the Qu-24 will be reset
to factory default when a Qu-16 file is loaded on a Qu-24.
Note To be compatible, ensure all your Qu mixers including Qu-16 and Qu-
24 are loaded with the same version of firmware V1.3 or later. Check the
Allen & Heath web site for the latest firmware.
USB Audio - A USB hard drive formatted on one model can be used on the
other. Stereo and multitrack Qu-Drive recordings are compatible. USB B
audio streaming is compatible, but note that the Qu-16 is 24 out / 22 in, and
the Qu-24 is 32 out / 30 in.
Firmware - Different firmware is needed for each model. Choose either the
Qu-16 or Qu-24 file when downloading firmware from the Allen & Heath web
site. The firmware version number will be the same for each update that is
made available. The procedure for updating firmware is the same for both
models.
