The Korena take

Built around a 96kHz FPGA core, the Qu-6D combines 36 mix inputs, 25 motorized faders and a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen in a hands-on digital console. Its 16x16 Dante interface is part of the mixer, giving Dante-equipped systems a direct networking option. Four channel-strip layers and configurable SoftKeys let you arrange controls around the session, while six multi-FX engines and dedicated returns keep effects within the console workflow.
