Allen & Heath CQ-20B Ultra-Compact 20-Channel Digital Mixer (Rackmount/Stagebox)

Mix and record with the Allen & Heath CQ-20B, an ultracompact digital mixer in a rackmount/stagebox configuration featuring 96 kHz FPGA processing, Bluetooth, wireless control via built-in Wi-Fi, and SD/USB audio recording and playback. The mixer is well suited for bands, producers, and AV rental houses, and can be used as a main mixer in a small venue or a sub mixer on a larger stage. This unique format has no screen and is designed to be used with a compatible tablet. Keep it onstage and mix wirelessly from anywhere in the room.

The free CQ-MixPad application is easy to navigate and control the robust mix engine that comes complete with several assistants to help your mixes sound their best including a gain assistant, feedback assistant, FX assist engine, and Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM). Take control of the full complement of channel strip effects like EQ, compression, and gating that’s available on every channel and set up several sub mixes for monitoring and effects. The CQ-20B features 16 mic/line XLR/combo XLR-1/4″ inputs and two pairs of balanced 1/4″ TRS line inputs. For outputs, the mixer offers two main XLR connectors, two 1/4″ alternate connectors, and six XLR mix connectors. There is also an assignable headphone output. The mixer ships with a standard IEC power cord.

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 free apps for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. CQ-MixPad gives the engineer complete control anywhere in the room, and CQ4You allows the performer to adjust only their mix and hear exactly what they need to.
