Allen & Heath - CQ-12T

The CQ-12T from Allen & Heath condenses all the brand's expertise into an ultra-portable format designed for musicians, sound engineers and service providers looking for a modern, tactile and accessible digital mixer.

Capable of handling up to 10 mic/line inputs (5 XLR and 5 XLR/TRS combo), this console offers full connectivity, with the addition of a TRS balanced stereo line input, an XLR LR main output, 6 TRS auxiliary outputs for returns, and an assignable headphone output.

Designed to deliver a seamless experience, the CQ-12T features a large 7-inch touchscreen and multifunction rotary encoder, making navigation quick and intuitive.

The 16x18 USB-B interface, SD card recording (16x18) and stereo playback and recording via USB stick mean you can record in multichannel directly from the console without any additional equipment. There are also 2 FX Assist effects engines, a stereo Bluetooth input with its own dedicated channel, and the option of assigning custom functions to 3 SoftKeys.

Designed for both live and fixed installations, the CQ-12T retains great flexibility for remote control, but requires the addition of a dual-band router or access point to activate control via CQ applications. This choice enhances network stability without compromising performance. A dual footswitch input also enables you to automate certain actions, such as mute or effects activation.

With its compact size, the CQ-12T fits into any mobile control room or stage configuration. It's ideal for musicians who want to mix their own sound, for engineers looking for a practical, powerful tool, or for small venues looking for a reliable digital console with a wide range of features and adapted to today's uses.
