Allen & Heath QU-16-RK19 19-Inch Rack Mount Kit for Qu-16 Mixer

Allen & Heath QU-16-RK19: Rack-Mount Your Qu-16 for the Road

The Allen & Heath QU-16-RK19 is the official 19-inch rack-mount ear kit for the Qu-16 digital mixer, letting you secure the console in a standard rack or flightcase for mobile and installed use. It replaces the guesswork of a universal bracket with a factory-designed fit that attaches over the mixer's own side trims. For any Qu-16 owner who transports the mixer or wants it locked into a fixed rack, this kit is the purpose-built way to do it safely. It is a small but essential accessory for turning a tabletop mixer into a road-ready rack unit.

How the QU-16-RK19 Mounts the Mixer

The kit consists of two rack ears that fit over the Qu-16's plastic side trims and bolt into a standard 19-inch rack, requiring 11U of rack space overall. Because the ears are designed for the exact contours of the Qu-16 chassis, they distribute the mixer's weight properly and hold it firmly through the vibration of transport. The kit ships complete with the screws, washers and instructions needed, so no additional hardware sourcing is required. This factory fitment is the difference between a mixer that rides securely in a case and one that works loose over a tour.

Built for Mobile and Installed Qu-16 Rigs

Rack-mounting a Qu-16 protects the console during transport and integrates it cleanly into a mobile production case or a fixed install rack alongside amplifiers, wireless and playback gear. For bands, houses of worship and rental operators moving a Qu-16 between rooms, the flightcase mounting the RK19 enables is the safest way to travel with the mixer. In a permanent install, the same kit locks the console into an equipment rack for a tidy, secure system. Either way, the RK19 gives the Qu-16 a proper home in the 19-inch world.

Who the Allen & Heath QU-16-RK19 Is For

The QU-16-RK19 is for owners of the Allen & Heath Qu-16 digital mixer who need to rack- or case-mount the console for touring, rental or fixed installation. Note that it is specific to the legacy Qu-16, not the newer Qu-5, Qu-6 or Qu-7 consoles, which use their own rack kits. If you move a Qu-16 or want it secured in a rack, this factory kit is the correct, purpose-built solution. It is the accessory that lets a Qu-16 travel and install with confidence.
