It measures 32.2 x 44.5 x 17cm (W x D x H).

Do you need a flight case for the Allen & Heath QU-3?

Moving a mixer such as the QU-3 between venues or storing it between jobs exposes the mixer to knocks, dust and general unnecessary wear and tear.

A flight case keeps the mixer protected in transit and reduces the risk of damage when it is packed alongside other equipment.

For anyone who repeatedly loads the mixer in and out, a case built to fit the unit closely gives better protection than foam offcuts or a generic cardboard box, since the product cannot shift about inside.

What makes a good QU-3 flight case?

This isn’t a case that simply holds the mixer. It’s built around how the QU-3/QU-3D is used from load-in to load-out.

Use it straight from the case.

The shallow base and removable lid mean you lift the lid off and the mixer is ready to use, with no unpacking. When the show’s done, the lid goes back on and it’s ready to travel.

Keep everything together.
80mm of cable space at the rear keeps the power supply, cables or spares with the desk, so nothing gets left behind.

An exact fit.
The foam is cut to the QU-3/QU-3D’s exact shape, so the mixer sits without any movement in transit.

Built to our standard.
9mm birch plywood, 30mm aluminium edging, recessed latches and a recessed flip handle, all finished flush.

Which finish should you choose for your QU-3 case?

Black hexaboard is the standard finish for the QU-3/QU-3D case, and it is a solid choice if you simply want a durable case without thinking about colour.

If you want something different, you can choose a black lightweight flight panel, or HPL smooth from a range of colours.

Picking a finish can be as simple as matching your existing cases, or picking a colour that makes the case easy to spot among a stack of equipment. For more on the materials themselves, see our guide to flight case materials and finishes, and for the full colour range see our flight case colour options guide.
