Description
CQ is Allen & Heath's most compact digital mixer range ever. Built on a 96kHz processing engine, it's rich in connectivity with Bluetooth, wireless options, SD and USB audio recording and playback. Focusing on speed and ease of use - brand new Quick Channels, Gain/Feedback Assistants and signal conscious FX enhance the world-renowned audio and build quality that users expect from Allen & Heath. Offered in three form factors - two desktop models with hands-on control and one stage box model.
All utilise the same technology, apps, and UI but with slightly different feature sets and price points. With the CQ range, Allen & Heath have created a super portable and fun to use, but still fully featured digital mixer, suitable for technical and non-technical users alike. CQ is designed to be used anywhere high-quality sound processing and summing is required, from bands and producers to AV and rental, from the main mixer in a small venue to a sub mixer on the largest stage.

Gain Assistant
CQ's gain assistant saves you time by automatically and accurately setting preamp gain for you. It can then keep an eye on your preamp levels to prevent nasty peaks.
Feedback Assistant

FX engines
Including brand new signal conscious reverbs, delays and modulation units which dynamically respond to signal.
