Talk to your Allen & Heath Qu

A&H’s own Qu remote app is iPad-only. TalkBoard is desktop control for the Qu — a macOS and Windows app that turns plain English, spoken or typed, into real console commands over your network. No iPad required.

Which Qu mixers are supported

The Qu-16, Qu-24 and Qu-32 (that’s “queue sixteen” if you’ve only ever heard it said aloud). The rack-mount Qu-Pac and Qu-SB are not supported, and neither are the SQ, dLive or Avantis families.

Qu-16

The small-venue and church favourite.

Qu-24

More channels, same commands.

Qu-32

The full-frame Qu.

What you can say to a Qu

All real commands, from the laptop you already have at the desk — spoken or typed. See the full command library.

“Name channels 1 through 6: pastor, lectern, acoustic, keys, bass, drums.” — batch rename (Qu channel colors are set on the console’s own screen — the Qu doesn’t expose them remotely)
“Turn up the pastor’s mic.” — faders by name — naming makes “the pastor’s mic” a real address
“Mute all the band channels.” — mutes and mute groups
“Put the drum mics in mute group 1.”
“More keys in the singer’s monitor.” — sends and monitor mixes
“High-pass channels 1 through 6 at 100 Hz.” — EQ — high-pass, shelves, parametric
“Gate the kick, and compress the bass.” — dynamics
“48 volts on channels 1 and 2.” — phantom power
“Assign the band to DCA 2.” — DCAs
“Recall scene 3 — the Sunday service scene.” — scenes for recurring services and shows

Desktop control the Qu never shipped with

No iPad? That’s the point.

TalkBoard runs on the Mac or Windows laptop you already have at the desk and controls the Qu over your network — by voice (hold the spacebar) or typed plain English.

Hotkey macros

Save moves — walk-in music, all-mute, a scene recall — and fire them from keyboard hotkeys, Stream-Deck-style. How macros work →

Volunteer-friendly

Qu boards are everywhere in churches. Show Mode makes every AI change wait for confirmation, and macro hotkeys mode limits a show to saved macros only. Church sound →

The honest fine print: Desktop app for macOS and Windows — no phone or iPad version (A&H’s iPad app is separate and unrelated). Qu-16/24/32 only — Qu-Pac, Qu-SB, SQ, dLive and Avantis are not supported. Undo of the last AI change is an X32/M32-family feature and is not available on the Qu. Internet required for the AI; saved macros run locally. AI output can be wrong — review what it sends on a live system, or use Show Mode.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Which Allen & Heath consoles does TalkBoard support?

The Qu-16, Qu-24 and Qu-32. The Qu-Pac and Qu-SB rack mixers are not supported, and neither are the SQ, dLive or Avantis families.

I don’t have an iPad — can I control my Qu from a laptop?

Yes. TalkBoard is a desktop app for macOS and Windows that controls the Qu over your network. Hold the spacebar and say the command, or type it.

Can it set up mute groups or a monitor mix on the Qu?

Yes — mute groups, sends and monitor mixes, DCAs, EQ, gates and compressors, scenes and phantom power are all controllable in plain English.

Can TalkBoard undo changes on the Qu?

No — undo is an X32/M32-family feature today. On a Qu, flip on Show Mode instead, so every AI change waits for your confirmation before it reaches the desk.

Is TalkBoard free for the Qu?

You get 15 free demo requests to try it. After that it’s $5, $10 or $20 per month, tax included. Full pricing →
