FEATURES

Mix Smarter. Work Faster. Sound Better.

Our smallest and most reasonably priced digital mixer series to date, CQ incorporates our well-known processing and effects together with innovative new supportive mixing tools.

Pick Your Mixing Style

On CQ, each input channel has two modes that may be alternated between. With the flexibility to select a whole channel of processing with a single knob, Quick Channels provide instrument and application-specific processing. More control is needed. To make more complex, detailed parameter adjustments, switch to Complete Channels.

Faster Setups

With several channels to adjust, setting the proper amount of gain for each one isn't the most thrilling task and may quickly eat up setup time. For one or more input channels, CQ's Gain Assistant rapidly and precisely determines the ideal gain level. It also keeps an eye on levels during the performance to avoid any unpleasant peaks or surprises.

Say Goodbye to Feedback

With up to 16 filters per output, CQ's Feedback Assistant intelligently identifies and removes problematic frequencies, allowing you to mix with confidence and forget about feedback.

You Won’t Believe Your Ears

CQ offers audio quality at this level of mixer that was previously unthinkable by utilizing technologies from our most recent generation of live sound consoles. The combination of studio-quality onboard processing, optimized FX, and pure 96kHz audio raises the bar for what can be achieved with incredibly small digital mixers.

A New Breed of Effects

CQ introduces a new suite of high-quality, user-friendly reverb, delay and modulation algorithms with instrument-specific presets for speedy setup. Selected units feature our 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.

You’re Always In Control

You have all the tactile control you need to navigate the interface fast with CQ-18T. It's easy to set up and start mixing with the 7′′ touchscreen and rotary control, and you can access frequently used features with just your muscle memory thanks to the 3 Custom Rotaries and SoftKeys. With WiFi built in, you can control your mix from anywhere in the arena with the free CQ MixPad app.

Capture the Performance, Wherever You Are

CQ packs in multiple recording and playback options to ensure you’re always ready to capture the performance. An integrated USB audio interface enables 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, and you can even playback from your phone via the built-in Bluetooth functionality. The CQ-18T also includes a pair of headphone outputs which can be fed separate mixes, perfect for a portable production setup.

Leave Your Access Point at Home

The CQ-18T features powerful integrated dual-band Wi-Fi so you don’t need to bring a bulky access point or router along to use apps with the mixer. Just connect your devices to the CQ’s secure Wi-Fi network and you’re ready to go.

Get Yourself Connected

CQ-18T gives you all the connectivity you need to get going with 16 mic/line inputs plus a stereo line input. When it comes to outputs, there’s a pair of main mix outputs plus 6 outputs for monitor mixes – enough for the whole band – and two headphone outputs are provided which can be assigned different mixes, perfect for recording.

Simplify Speech

With the help of the built-in Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM), you can easily and quickly lower background noise and enhance speech applications' clarity.  AMM is the ideal portable mixer for conferences, podcasts, discussions, and small-scale theater plays because it is accessible on all input channels.
