When the lights come up, the band starts, and you need to put a mix together quickly. You need the Allen & Heath CQ18T. Don't let the compact size fool you. The CQ18T has everything you need to dial in the perfect mix. A 96kHz processing engine, deep connectivity, network, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi options, plus built-in Smart-FX give you the flexibility to accept any gig. Sixteen mic/line inputs and one stereo line in provide the capacity to comfortably handle anything from singer-songwriters to a four-piece combo with a full drum kit. Onboard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi offer elegant ways to provide break music you can control from anywhere in the room. The CQ18T also has a 24 x 24 USB interface with corresponding SD recording and playback capability so you can record the show and listen back afterwards. Hook it up with your favorite DAW (sold separately), and you have a powerful studio in a box that can go anywhere you go. Control is provided by a full-color 7" touchscreen with rotary knob. The absence of onboard faders allows the CQ18T to project its compact form factor, but you won't miss a thing. The mix deck also features three user-customizable soft keys for your must-have functions. With instrument-based Quick inputs that switch per channel and intuitive digital reverbs, delays, and modulators, you'll have the mix you want in no time. Plus, the custom keys and extra tactile encoders (3) make ongoing micro-tweaks a breeze. Integrated smart-assist tools are also included, so even if you're not an expert engineer, you'll sound like one. Mix. Record. Share. Live the music with the CQ18T.
