Description
The CQ-20B is an ultra-compact digital audio mixer designed to be operated via its built-in WiFi or through connection to a wired or wireless network.
The processing engine, utilising Allen & Heath’s acclaimed FPGA technology, brings numerous time-saving tools to the CQ to speed up and simplify common tasks for users of all abilities. Gain Assistant automatically sets preamp gain to the optimal level and monitors and adjusts for any unexpected peaks in the signal. Feedback Assistant identifies and filters out problem frequencies across all outputs via simple one-button operation, with more in-depth control available for challenging acoustical environments.
Key Features:
- Power to the band:
Thanks to the free app from A&H the CQ4You, you can let the musicians control their own mix on stage, freeing you up to keep focus on the sound for the audience. Additionally, if you’re a function band working without an engineer, this allows each of you to adjust your own mixes freely! - Powered by AI:
Allow AI to take the strain, Gain assistant automatically sets preamp gain to optional levels, it also keeps an ear out for any unexpected spikes. Get a hand with ringing out monitors as well with the Feedback Assistant. - No compromise on audio quality:

With CQ there are no compromises.
