Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

With 33 motorized faders, the Qu-7 puts a broad physical control surface around a 96kHz FPGA mixing platform. It handles 36 mix inputs, including 32 combo mic/line inputs and two stereo line inputs, with four channel-strip layers to organize access. The 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, eight SoftKeys and configurable single/dual footswitch connection support a workflow that can be tailored for live mixing or recording sessions. Six multi-FX engines include dedicated return channels.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Larger live or recording setups using 32 combo mic/line inputs and 33 motorized faders.
  • Sessions that need multichannel USB-C or SD-card recording and playback.
  • Systems expanding I/O through the 128x128 intelligent SLink port.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Users requiring built-in Dante on this Qu-7 model; the listed 16x16 Dante interface applies to the Qu-7D only.
