AudioRacks - All models are compatible with the optional Allen & Heath
AB168, AR2412 and AR84 AudioRacks. These provide remote mic inputs and
line outputs that connect to the mixer using a Cat5 ‘digital snake’ cable up to
100m long. You can connect up to two AudioRacks, the second as an
expander to the first.
 The AR2412 AudioRack cannot be used as an expander in a Qu system.
Scene, Library and Show memories - All Qu mixer memories are
compatible. Files created on one model can be transferred via USB key and
loaded on another. The extra features of the bigger models will be ignored
when their file is loaded on a Qu-16. The extra features of the bigger models
will be reset to factory default when a Qu-16 file is loaded.
 To be compatible, ensure all your Qu mixers are loaded with the same
version of firmware. Check the Allen & Heath web site for the latest firmware
available.
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 24out/22in, the Qu-
24 is 32out/30in, and the Qu-32 and Qu-Pac are 32out/32in.
Firmware – The same version but different firmware is needed for each
model. Choose either the Qu-16, Qu-24 or Qu-32 file when downloading
firmware from the Allen & Heath web site. The procedure for updating
firmware is the same for all models.
Qu-Pad, Qu-Control and Qu-You apps - These apps are compatible with all
Qu mixers. They identify the model and load the appropriate controls when
you log in. Qu-Pad and Qu-Control are available for iOS devices. Qu-You is
available for iOS and Android devices.
 Make sure the app version and mixer firmware versions are compatible.
