Just check out some of the standout features below!
Mix Smarter. Work Faster. Sound Better.
CQ takes Allen & Heath's renowned processing and effects, adds exciting new assistive mixing tools, and packages it all up into their smallest, and most affordable, digital mixer series yet.
Pick Your Mixing StyleEvery input channel on CQ can be switched between two modes. Quick Channels offer instrument and application specific processing with the ability to dial in a full channel of processing via a single knob. Need more control? Switch to Complete Channels for advanced, in-depth tweaking of parameters.
Faster SetupsSetting the correct amount of gain for each channel isn’t the most exciting task, and it quickly eats into your setup time with multiple channels to take care of. CQ’s Gain Assistant quickly and accurately sets the optimal gain level for one or multiple input channels and continues to monitor levels during the performance to prevent any nasty peaks or surprises.
Say Goodbye to FeedbackCQ’s Feedback Assistant automatically detects and eliminates problem frequencies using up to 16 filters per output so you can mix with confidence – and forget about feedback.
A New Breed of Effects
Built-In FXCQ introduces a new suite of high-quality, user-friendly reverb, delay and modulation algorithms with instrument-specific presets for speedy setup. Selected units feature our new FX Assist tool, automatically shaping the effects and dynamically responding to your input signal to ensure your mix is enhanced by FX, not engulfed.
You’re Always In Control
User FriendlyCQ-12T gives you all the tactile control you need to get around the interface quickly. The 7″ touchscreen and rotary control make it simple to set up and get mixing, and 3 Custom SoftKeys let you access commonly used functions at the push of a button.
