More about Allen & Heath’s CQ Series

Experience a fully featured console in a compact build with Allen & Heath’s CQ series of digital mixers. Built on a processing engine that offers 96kHz audio, CQ includes studio-grade onboard processing and an optimized suite of effects, as well as incorporating assistive mixing tools to deliver a mixer that’s not only super-portable but also super-intuitive. CQ comes in three models—two desktop units and one stage box—which utilize the same technology, apps, and UI but are differentiated slightly by feature sets and price. Ideal for users of all experience and skill levels, CQ is designed to fit any application where you need high-quality sound processing and summing, including bands, producers, AV, rental, small venues, and large stages alike.

Control your control. Each of CQ’s input channels can be switched between Quick Channels or Complete Channels modes. Quick Channels mode is ideal for instrument- and application-specific processing, enabling you to dial in a full channel of processing with a signal knob. Alternatively, the Complete Channels mode allows for advanced, in-depth parameter control.

Every aspect of CQ has been designed to make your mixing easier. Gain Assistant helps you optimize your gain levels for one or more channels and monitors those levels throughout the performance. Feedback Assistant uses up to 16 filters per output to automatically detect and eliminate problematic frequencies. A built-in Automatic Mic Mixer instantly reduces background noise and clarifies speech intelligibility, making it the perfect mixer for conferences, podcasts, debates, and small-scale theatrical productions.

Experiment with all the bells and whistles. This series of mixers includes a built-in effects suite, including reverb, delay, and modulation algorithms with instrument-specific presets for speedy setup. Selected units feature the FX Assist tool to tailor the effects to your unique mixing style.

The CQ series is built to seamlessly integrate into any setup. Its USB audio interface allows easy multitrack recording, playback, and streaming. An SD card slot makes it possible to take your mix on the go. Bluetooth functionality even lets you play back your audio from your phone.
