CQ series - Allen & Heath

With the CQ mixers you can very easily strengthen a band, conference, speech, or whatever you want. The architecture of the mixers is designed in such a way that someone with no previous experience can get the best results from them.

This way you can load a preset per channel that will then only give you the essential functions for controlling the sound. For example, if you take a piano, you can switch the sound between 'dark', 'warm', 'full', 'clear' and 'bright' with one button and you can switch a compressor on or off to reduce the dynamics somewhat. . No complex equalizer or compressor settings, 100 parameters for effects and complicated functions that do not contribute to the creativity of your mix.

As for the effects, there are two slots available where you can easily load reverb, echo, phaser, and chorus using the clear presets. You can send this to any channel you want and adjust it to your heart's content.
The same of course applies to the monitor outputs, which can be adjusted per channel so that everyone gets the perfect balance.

The CQs are perfect not only for music, but also for conferences and speeches. Thanks to its Automatic Mic Mixer and Automatic Gain and Gain Assist, adjusting volumes is a thing of yesterday!

The CQs can also be operated with a tablet and smartphone and Mac and Windows software is also available! Moreover, playing and recording from or on SD card or USB stick is also possible in addition to the Bluetooth connection!

The series consists of three models; CQ-12T, CQ-18T and CQ-20B. The 12T and 18T are desktop mixers with a 7-inch multi-touch screen and can be controlled via various mobile apps. The stage box mixer 20B is designed to be controlled remotely via the CQ apps; CQ-MixPad app for remote mixing, and CQ4You, for mixing your IEMs.

All three are built around a new 96kHz engine that uses Allen&Heath's FPGA technology.
