Allen & Heath CQ20B

Mix smarter. Work faster. Sound better.

CQ combines our proven processing and effects capabilities with exciting new mixing tools, all wrapped up in our smallest and most affordable digital mixer series yet.

Each input channel of the CQ can be switched between two modes.

Quick Channels offer instrument and application-specific processing with the ability to adjust an entire channel of processing with a single knob. Need more control? Switch to Complete Channels for advanced, in-depth parameter settings.

Faster setups

Setting the right gain value for each channel is not the most exciting task and can quickly eat up a lot of setup time with multiple channels. CQ's Gain Assistant quickly and accurately sets the optimum gain level for one or more input channels and monitors levels during performance to avoid unpleasant peaks or surprises.

Say goodbye to feedback

CQ's Feedback Wizard automatically detects and eliminates problematic frequencies using up to 16 filters per output, so you can mix with confidence - and forget about feedback.

You won't believe your ears

CQ uses technology from our latest generation of live sound consoles to deliver audio quality previously unimaginable from mixing consoles at this level. Pristine 96 kHz audio is combined with integrated studio-quality processing and an optimized suite of effects to set a new standard for the capabilities of ultra-compact digital mixing consoles.

A new generation of effects

CQ introduces a new range of high-quality, easy-to-use reverb, delay and modulation algorithms with instrument-specific presets for quick setup. Selected units feature our new FX Assist tool, which automatically shapes the effects and dynamically responds to the input signal to ensure your mix is enhanced by the effects, not swallowed up.

You're always in control

Although the CQ-20B is designed for life on stage, you can mix from anywhere in the venue via the free CQ MixPad app and built-in dual-band Wi-Fi. CQ MixPad puts you in control of all the mixer's parameters, so you can soundcheck, mix and record from your mobile device or computer.
