Allen & Heath CQ-20B

The Allen & Heath CQ-20T is designed for use on stage and has the largest number of inputs in the CQ range. Unlike the CQ-12T and CQ-18T, this model does not have a touchscreen but is operated exclusively via the CQ MixPad app.

There are 16 mic/line inputs split across 8 XLRs and 8 XLR/TRS combi sockets, plus two stereo inputs via TRS. There’s a pair of main mix outputs on XLR plus 6 TRS jack outputs for monitor mixes as well as assignable Alt Output.

Every input channel on CQ can be switched between two modes:
‘Quick Channels’ offer instrument and application specific processing with the ability to dial in a full channel of processing via a single knob.
‘Complete Channels’ for advanced, in-depth tweaking of parameters.

Gain Assistant quickly and accurately sets the optimal gain level for one or multiple input channels and continues to monitor levels during the performance to prevent any nasty peaks or surprises.

CQ’s Feedback Assistant automatically detects and eliminates problem frequencies using up to 16 filters per output so you can mix with confidence and forget about feedback.

Using technology from the latest generation of A&H live sound consoles, the CQ range delivers pristine 96kHz audio, partnered with studio-grade onboard processing and an optimised suite of FX.

There are built-In high-quality FX including reverb, delay and modulation algorithms with instrument-specific presets for speedy setup.

This CQ mixer features the new FX Assist tool, automatically shaping the effects and dynamically responding to your input signal to ensure your mix is enhanced by FX, not engulfed.

The CQ compact mixers handle multiple channels simultaneously with 4 DCAs, each capable of controlling the level of any combination of inputs, outputs, and FX, for simple single-fader control of multiple channels, such as a drum kit, without affecting their relative levels.

There’s also 4 Mute Groups, enabling you to mute and unmute multiple channels at once via a single button.

As already mentioned, there’s no touchscreen on this model. The integrated dual-band Wi-Fi enables control via the free CQ MixPad app, giving you secure control over all parameters of the mixer from mobile device or computer anywhere in the venue.

The CQ mixers include an integrated USB audio interface for easy multitrack recording, playback and streaming via your DAW, and an SD card slot is provided for reliable multitrack recording and playback on the go.

You can record and playback stereo files via USB key or play back from your phone via the built-in Bluetooth functionality. The CQ-20B also includes an assignable Alt-Out – great for an engineer’s IEM connection.

Instantly reduce background noise and improve clarity for speech applications with the integrated Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) available on all input channels. Ideal for conferences, podcasts, discussions and small-scale theatre productions.
