Quick and Complete Channels: 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.
Gain Assistant: CQs 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.
Feedback Assistant: 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.
FX Assist engines: Including brand new signal-conscious reverb and delay units which dynamically respond to signal to always sit correctly in the mix.
AMM: Improve clarity and reduce background noise for speech applications without needing to lift a finger. Available on every input.
Remote Apps: Control the mixer from (almost) anywhere with free apps for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. CQ-MixPad gives the engineer complete control anywhere in the room and CQ4You allows the performer to adjust only their mix and hear exactly what they need to.
