Allen & Heath CQ-12T - Digital Mixer

The specialist's opinion

Smarter.

Work faster.

The sound is better. CQ combines our proven processing and effects functions with exciting new mixing tools, all wrapped up in our smallest and most affordable digital mixer series to date. Fast and Comprehensive Choose Your Mixing Style Each input channel of the CQ can be switched between two modes. The fast channels offer instrument and application specific processing with the ability to set an entire processing channel with a single button. Need more control? Switch to Complete Channels for advanced and detailed tweaking of parameters. Gain Assistant Faster settings Setting the right gain value for each channel isn't the most exciting task and, if you have multiple channels, it quickly consumes a lot of setup time. The QC Gain Assistant quickly and precisely adjusts the optimal gain level for one or more input channels and monitors the levels during performance to avoid unpleasant spikes or surprises. Feedback Assistant Say goodbye to feedback CQ's Feedback Assistant automatically detects and eliminates problematic frequencies using up to 16 filters per output, so you can mix with confidence - and forget about feedback. Distortion-free sound You won't believe your ears. CQ uses the technology of our latest generation of live sound consoles to deliver audio quality unimaginable at this level of mixer. Unaltered 96 kHz audio is combined with on-board studio-quality processing and a range of optimized effects to set a new standard in the possibilities of ultra-compact digital mixers. Built-in Effects A new generation of CQ effects introduces a new set of high-quality, easy-to-use reverb, delay and modulation algorithms, with instrument-specific presets for quick setup. Selected devices feature our new FX Assist tool which automatically shapes the effects and reacts dynamically to your input signal to ensure your mix is enhanced, not engulfed by the effects. Easy to use You are always in control. The CQ-12T gives you all the touch controls you need to get around the interface quickly. The touch screen 7? and rotary knobs make setup and mixing easy, and the 3 custom SoftKeys allow you to access frequently used functions with just the push of a button. Connect a router or access point and use the free CQ MixPad app to control your mix from anywhere in the performance hall.
