Software Features

96 kHz Processing Engine

• Under the hood is a powerhouse of processing with Allen & Heath’s renowned 96 kHz FPGA technology, including brand-new smart tools and FX to get you a better mix, faster.

Quick and Complete Channels

• Quick Channels offer instrument and application specific processing. Dial in a full channel of processing with a single knob. Switch to a Complete Channel for advanced tweaking.

Gain Assistant

• CQ’s gain assistant saves you time by automatically and accurately setting preamp gain for you. It can then keep an eye on your preamp levels to prevent nasty peaks.

Feedback Assistant

• Find and remove feedback frequencies at setup using Fixed mode, and then watch out for feedback throughout the show across all outputs with Live mode.

FX Assist engines

• Including brand-new signal-conscious reverb and delay units, which dynamically respond to signal to always sit correctly in the mix.

AMM

• Improve clarity and reduce background noise for speech applications without needing to lift a finger. Available on every input.

Remote Apps

• Control the mixer from (almost) anywhere with a free app for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. CQ-MixPad gives the engineer complete control from anywhere in the room, and CQ4You allows a performer to adjust only their mix and hear exactly what they need to hear.
