CQ is designed to be used anywhere high-quality sound processing and summing is required, from bands and producers to AV and rental, from the main mixer in a small venue to a sub mixer on the largest stage.
Under the hood is a powerhouse of processing with Allen & Heath’s renowned 96kHz FPGA technology. Including brand new smart tools and FX to get you a better mix, faster. 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. 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.
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. Including brand new signal-conscious reverb and delay units which dynamically respond to signal to always sit correctly in the mix. Improve clarity and reduce background noise for speech applications without needing to lift a finger. Available on every input. Control the mixer from (almost) anywhere with free apps for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.

Great portable speaker.
Loving this new addition. No cables needed and very low latency. Can't even notice it. Great for being portable and I use it as a sub in my music room. Battery life is great and it's easy to set up.
Does the job perfectly and mix foundation shipped it to me in record speed.

Kinda essential upgrade
Thanks for the advice and quick postage. Upgraded from 2M red to the blue stylus. Night and day in terms of accuracy. Don’t think just buy the blue if you have a red currently. Not an audiophile but difference was extremely noticeable. Put on a project debut carbon.

Great mixer!
Loving my new mixer. It's great to get rid of extra cables for my old sound card, and I'm enjoying all the extra effects that my DJM 800 didnt have. This was delivered really quickly and there was great communication from Mix Foundation.

The best sound!!!
The best I've ever heard as a DJ using this pair of cartridges and stills. Fortunately, I spoke with Grant's, who helped me with my choice.

No Frills work horse
Can't go wrong with a solid performing workhorse head shell prewired for you to just fit the cartridge. It is an SME bayonet fit - for "S" shaped tone arms like that used by technics on their Turntables and you just cannot ask for more at the price point. Works well for both the 2M and the new MC X range of cartridges. I have a 2M Black MM and X40 MC fitted to this head shell - no problems working well.

Right out of the box - no run-in it sounds open and transparent.
Open and transparent - solid bass, beautiful mid range and highs.
Tight is the word and low surface noise.
With everything equal - sound is open, extracting all there is in the grove.
A step up - yes - from the 2M black.
40 hours they say to run-in - going to be a sound experience.
Best buy for me - sure to bring me pleasure for hours.
A worthy cartridge to try and a keeper.

Decksaver - saver of the decks
This product is really great! I'm impressed. It fit's very snugly and offers support and protection in a very clever and simple way. I've not had to test it, but I feel confident it will do what it says on the tin.....just not maybe under the weight of a human....but you never know! :) I recommend it!

Quality cable
Bought two of these for Playback duties. I have used poor cables in the past and paid the price. Bought these cables years ago and they never let me down. Bought another set for another band Playback setup. Never let me down.
