 Gain Assistant – Your Setup Shortcut
Say goodbye to time-consuming level checks.
The Gain Assistant automatically sets optimal gain levels across multiple channels and continues to monitor during your performance, helping you avoid unexpected peaks and distortion.

Feedback Assistant – Set It and Forget It
Mix confidently without worrying about feedback ruining your show.
CQ’s Feedback Assistant uses up to 16 filters per output to detect and eliminate problem frequencies before they even hit the speakers.

Don’t let the size fool you — the CQ-12T delivers 96kHz pristine audio, studio-grade onboard processing, and Allen & Heath’s latest-generation sound engine. The result? Immaculate, professional sound that will impress both live and recorded audiences.

 All-New Built-In FX Engine
Shape your sound with a brand-new suite of reverb, delay, and modulation effects, fine-tuned with instrument-specific presets.
The FX Assist feature dynamically reacts to your input signals, ensuring the effects always enhance your mix without overwhelming it.

 Modern Control, Your Way
The 7-inch touchscreen, responsive rotary control, and 3 customizable softkeys let you navigate your mix with ease.
Want more flexibility? Connect a router and control everything from the CQ MixPad app, giving you wireless access from anywhere in the venue.

 This is compact mixing without compromise – smarter setups, pristine sound, and intuitive control, all in one sleek unit.
