ALLEN & HEATH CQ-18T

The largest desktop mixer in the CQ range, the A&H CQ-18T is ideal for bands, rehearsal rooms, home recording and streaming, voice applications and corporate AV.

Mix smarter. Work faster. Sound better.

CQ takes our renowned processing and effects, adds exciting new assistive mixing tools, and packs it all into our smallest and most affordable digital mixer series.

Fast and complete

Choose your mixing style. Each input channel on CQ can be switched between two modes.

Fast channels offer instrument and application specific processing with the ability to set full channel processing from a single knob.

Need more control? Switch to full channels for advanced, detailed tweaking of parameters.

Gain Assistant

Faster setups. Setting the right gain for each channel isn't the most exciting task, and it quickly eats up your setup time with multiple channels to worry about.

CQ's Gain Assistant quickly and accurately sets the optimal gain level for one or more input channels, and continues to monitor levels during performance to prevent unpleasant spikes or surprises.

Feedback Assistant

Say goodbye to feedback. CQ's Feedback Assistant automatically detects and eliminates problem frequencies with up to 16 filters per output, so you can mix with confidence - and forget about feedback.

User-friendly

You're always in control. The CQ-18T gives you all the tactile control you need to quickly bypass the interface.

A 7-inch touchscreen and knobs make it easy to set up and mix, and the 3 custom knobs and SoftKeys let you access frequently used functions with just your muscle memory.

The free CQ MixPad app also gives you full control of your mix from anywhere in the venue thanks to built-in Wi-Fi.

Built-in Wi-Fi

Leave your access point at home. The CQ-18T has powerful built-in dual-band Wi-Fi, so you don't need to bring a bulky access point or router to use apps with the mixer.

Just connect your devices to CQ's secure Wi-Fi network and you're ready to go.
