Presentation
With 16 high-performance mic preamps (8 XLR + 8 XLR/TRS combo), an additional stereo input and 6 independent monitor mixes, the CQ-18T provides complete source management on stage or in the studio. The two assignable headphone outputs allow dedicated listening, while the 4 FX Assist effects engines provide controlled, precisely controllable sonic depth.
On the recording side, it offers three simultaneous methods: multi-track recording/playback on SD card (24x22), stereo USB recording/playback with dedicated input channel, and multi-channel USB-B audio interface, ideal for producers and engineers wishing to integrate the console into their digital workstation. Stereo Bluetooth audio playback, also with its own channel, adds welcome flexibility for one-off broadcasts.
Designed for both the stage and the control room, the CQ-18T features three customisable buttons, a dual footswitch input and a compact design perfectly suited to portable configurations. Whether you're mixing an intimate concert, controlling a radio set or managing a conference, the Allen & Heath CQ-18T provides a reliable, intuitive and ultra-connected solution to all your on-the-spot requirements.
