Allen & Heath Qu-3 Mixing Set – Hear Every Channel Before the Room Does

The Starter Set plus the headphones you mix on. The HD 25 Plus plugs into the stereo headphone output of the Qu-3, closes out a loud room and turns away for one-ear listening. Check a channel or a USB recording without touching what the room hears. It fits on a desk: 322 × 445 mm and just under 7 kg.

In This Setup

• Allen & Heath Qu-3 – compact digital mixer on the 96 kHz XCVI core, with 36 inputs to mix, 12 mixes, 4 matrix outputs and 6 FX engines, nine motorised faders, a 7″ touchscreen, 16 XLR/jack combo inputs, 8 XLR outputs and 32×32 USB-C recording.
• Shure SM58-LCE – cardioid dynamic vocal mic with a built-in pop filter and an internal shock mount. No on/off switch.
• Hosa MBL-100 (3 m) – balanced XLR female to XLR male microphone cable.
• Sennheiser HD 25 Plus – closed-back on-ear monitoring headphones, 70 Ω and about 140 g, with a rotating capsule for one-ear listening, coiled and straight cables and a carrying pouch.

Why This Combination

• Check before it goes out: solo a channel on the mixer and listen in the headphones.
• Made for recording too: multitrack to SD or 32×32 over USB-C, with headphones to check the takes.
• A small footprint: 322 × 445 mm on the desk, with the SLink port ready for stageboxes later.

Set price includes the Qu-3, the microphone, one XLR cable and the headphones; speakers are not included.
