Allen & Heath CQ-12T is the smallest mixer in the CQ range and is ideal for home recording and streaming, band rehearsals, small gigs, and speech applications.
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.
Quick and Complete - Pick Your Mixing Style
Every 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.
Gain Assistant - Faster Setups
Setting 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.
Feedback Assistant - Say Goodbye to Feedback
CQ'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.
Pristine Sound - You Won't Believe Your Ears
CQ draws on technology from our latest generation of live sound consoles to deliver audio quality previously unimaginable at this level of mixer.
Pristine 96kHz audio is partnered with studio-grade onboard processing and an optimised suite of FX to set a new standard for what's possible with ultra-compact digital mixers.
Built-In FX - A New Breed of Effects
CQ 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.
User Friendly - You're Always In Control
The CQ-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.
Connect a router or access point and the free CQ MixPad app also gives you full control of your mix from anywhere in the venue.
