Allen & Heath CQ12T

The CQ Series combines familiar processors and effects with modern mixing tools in the most compact and affordable digital mixers available.

Choose your mixing style
Each CQ input channel can switch between two modes:

Fast Channel Mode - instrument and specialist processing with the ability to adjust the full channel with a single knob.

Need more control? Switch to Full Channel Mode for expanded, deep parameter customization.

Quick Setup
Setting the right gain for each channel is a tedious task that takes time when dealing with multiple channels.
The CQ Gain Assistant quickly and precisely sets the optimum gain level for one or more inputs and monitors them during performance, preventing clipping.

Forget about feedback
The Feedback Assistant automatically detects and eliminates problem frequencies of up to 16 filters on the output, allowing you to mix with confidence without feedback.

You won't believe your ears
The CQ uses the latest live console technologies to achieve unprecedented sound quality in such a compact mixer.

Crystal-clear 96 kHz sound combined with studio processors and optimized effects set new standards for ultra-portable digital mixers.

A new generation of effects
The CQ introduces a new series of high-quality and user-friendly reverb, delay and modulation algorithms with instrument presets for quick setup.

Some models are equipped with FX Assist - automatically shaping effects in response to the input signal to improve, not overload, the mix.

DCAs and Mute Groups
The CQ makes it easy to manage multiple channels at once with 4 DCAs for group control of input, output and effects levels. Plus 4 mute groups for simultaneous muting/unmuting of channels with a single button.

Full Control
The CQ-12T provides all the tactile control you need for fast workflow. 7-inch touchscreen and rotary mix knob, 3 SoftKeys for quick access to functions. The free CQ MixPad app allows for full mix management from anywhere.

Record your performances anywhere
The CQ offers a variety of recording and playback options. USB audio interface for multitrack recording, playback and streaming via DAW. SD card slot for reliable multitrack recording on the go. Record and play stereo files via USB stick or via Bluetooth from your smartphone.

Everything you need to connect
The CQ-12T provides the necessary connections: 10 mic/line inputs on 5 XLR and 5 XLR/TRS combo, plus a stereo pair of 1/4" connectors. There are also XLR main outputs and 6 TRS monitor outputs - enough for the whole group!

Improved speech intelligibility
The built-in Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) instantly reduces background noise and improves speech intelligibility without unnecessary actions.
