Allen & Heath CQ-20B Ultra-Compact 20-In/8-Out Stagebox Digital Mixer with Wi-Fi

The CQ-20B packages the CQ series’ processing into a faderless, stagebox-style enclosure designed for rack installation or floor placement, with control handled entirely via the CQ MixPad and CQ4You apps over its built-in dual-band Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. It offers 16 mic/line inputs (two switchable to Hi-Z instrument level) plus 2 stereo line inputs, all running through the same 96kHz FPGA engine, Quick Channel/Complete Channel processing, Gain Assistant and Feedback Assistant tools found across the CQ range. CQ-20B includes 4 onboard FX engines, an integrated Automatic Mic Mixer, and XLR outputs for the main mix and 6 additional mix buses, plus a pair of TRS alt outputs. It also functions as a multichannel USB audio interface and supports SD card multitrack recording and playback, making it a practical choice for permanent installs, broadcast trucks and touring racks where app-based control is preferred over a physical surface.
