Mute Groups and DCA’s were at the top of my wish list, but I wasn’t expecting to have both of them this year already. I’m impressed! Well done to the CQ team.

Thanks so much to the A&H team for all of the updates! This is fast becoming my go to mixer for small live events.

Thank you Allen & Heath for this awesome update. I just picked up a CQ-18T & did my first event a few weeks ago & everything was easy to learn & the gig went flawlessly.

Excited for the update, look forward to using the new features and fx layout at church! Thank you Keith and Team!

What a great update! Thanks Keith and team. ❤️

Thanks so much for this informative video and thanks to A&H for the update!

Wow love the layers

@7:52 "I'm just a ginger idiot here" lol. No Keith, you are a legend! Thanks for all your awesome videos. We love you. And the CQ!

Well done. Going to update this weekend ...

This is a good update with very useful features. Would love to have some groups added to improve workflow :)

I like these mixers a lot and this is a great update. Do you think it would be possible to add a couple more EQ bands for each channel and also allow a greater range of cut and boost? Maybe 25db+/-

Great Update. I just wish the source point for the outputs could be chosen even before any processing. I usually route the unprocessed signal to another input, in order to provide a in-ear eq signal just for my own voice. so i can compensate the occlusion effekt. Even better (and easier) would be to link two inputs and allow them both independent processing. Hopefully this will be implemented in future. No big deal actually... Anyway, great job so far 👍

Great update ! Looks like it’s now possible to switch back and forth between this app and another without logging out ! Just tried it yesterday. Not sure if you guys added some features to manage backing tracks - sending the L and R of the Bluetooth or of the SD card reader to an output of choice ?

I love u guys

thanks A&H

Is there a way to add a fader board instead of just tablets?

Thank you for this great update but please allow me to set effect busses as pre-fader in the next update. It's very important for me!

Could there be an option to have post fader metering with a temporary peak hold indicator in a future update? Al Gurr

hi sorry i was late can you in the next video explain better the new output source points and post/pre fader? thanks

Appears only FX returns can be on custom layer, please add ability to use FX sends also.

How does the update affect previous databases? Is the new OS backward compatible?

Sidechain compression please, please ???🙏

Mute groups - you should have the button display as half red (or 50% faded red) if there are channels within that have been unmuted.

Thanks for the update, we've been waiting for this. My question is if it's possible to play songs that weren't recorded in the mixer and put them in to play in the background before the show, thanks.

I think the fader via ipad or tablet is not smooth enuf for doing some gigs for fast response yet

Awesome! when V2 for Dlive??

When will you make a 24 channel CQ, it will really help with medium to large scale events.

@AllenHeath: thanks for the update that now supports dca and mute groups. Works great so far, but: when i have a dca configured and let it show in the custom fader view, i don't see any level on the dca fader. But when i lower the volume of the dca fader for example, the assigned channels get lower in volume, so in principle the dca's working. Is that a bug or a feature? Thanks in advance for a response and cheers from Germany. 😊

Hi, That is correct. The DCA is not an output bus, therefore, there is no summation or metering on the DCA itself. For metering, please refer to the main LR meter for the assigned input channels and the respective outputs bus meter of the assigned outputs. Many thanks, Luke

Hi, I tried using the cq18t as an audio interface for online practice on Jacktrip. It can send my audio signal to others online but I am not getting a return signal from online bandmates. Not sure why I can not hear outside signals even though the level bar on the software is present. Can you help me with this?

@AllenandHeathUK

It could be that the internet app you are using has basic routing options. If this is the case, please ensure to run the CQ in stereo mode. This is actioned under Config>USB/SD 'stream mode'. The upstream, by default will be the LR on 24/24 the return will then be on the dedicated USB channel. If you are still having issues, pleased drop us a line. support@allen-heath.com Thanks, Luke

Can you add custom labels for the FX Channels? It looks like they’re stuck as FX1, FX2, etc :(

I just bought a cq-18t. I have an ef note e-drum which has a micro usb with 8 audio out and I connect it to the ca-18t through the usb A. Is doesn’t seem to recognize the input coming from my edrum. Is there something I am doing wrong? Does it have to be connected to usb b of the cqt-18?

Will there be a stage box for CQ series in the future?

@AllenandHeathUK

The CQ system is closed and unable to network audio, so it is unlikely, that this will ever be implemented. We have the 20B model for those who would rather have a stage box-esque mixer. Kind regards, Luke

Are Aux sends now able to be post comp?

Another aux send point related question. If using AMM, will the source for that AUX be before or after AMM. On SQ I can choose this after delay. Is there a routing schema like for SQ series to show this?

Is there a way to set up matrices, e.g. for aux fed subs?

@AllenandHeathUK

8 күн бұрын

Hi, Thanks for the message, The CQ does not offer matrices. For sub a sub-feed, you could set up an Aux to run post fade, with all Aux input faders to unity (0dB). You then have independent level control with the Aux master fader. To then go one further, you could set up a DCA to control the over LR & Aux master with a singular fader. I hope this helps! Thanks, Luke

With CQ you can run the Aux buses post-fade, set all faders to unity, and then assign a DCA to both the main LR and aux bus master faders. The main mix faders then control the mix for both LR & the Aux. The DCA then controls the overall level of bot outputs Thanks, Luke

what is trail on on fx?

@Knuppen69

2 ай бұрын

I was wondering about the same yesterday. Mute Mode - Set Trails On to hear any reverb or delay trail fade out naturally when muting an FX unit. Set Trails Off to have the FX mute instantly. You can find it in the manual on page 112.

I wish that this console would allow you to take an input off the LR so you can send inputs to aux/bus then send that bus to the LR 😢😢😢😢😢

Eventhough this is all impressive I still need alot more. For instance: Subgroups. For me, I really need subgroups/group channels. Why is it that A&H realeases these affordable rack mixers and never have them have subgroups and so little DCA's? Like, I have a soundcraft ui24r and we have at least 6 subgroups and also 6 DCA's ALSO 6 mute groups! And it's also cheaper than most A&H products. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE A&H products and use them all the time form the SQ series all the way up to Dlive range. The problem is when A&H release some affordable stuff they release some idiot proof mixers which CAN'T do shit for pro mixers. And Soundcraft ui24r have Lexicon effects and DBX compressors, de-esser and decent preamps AND 24 fucking CHANNELS for a cheaper option than this!!! I'm sorry this CQ range a boat load of sh*t just to get money off of new "audio engineers". Sorry for ranting.
