When Worship Sounds Great, People Lean In
In a worship service, sound is more than just a technical necessity—it’s the heartbeat of the moment.
An opening prayer. A beautiful vocal harmony. The rhythmic strum of a guitar.
All of these moments carry weight, but only if they’re heard clearly. When the mix is right, people lean in and engage. When it’s not… they notice.
That’s why the launch of the Allen & Heath CQ Series mixers is such a big deal for churches. These mixers are designed for real ministry life—whether your sound team consists of trained audio engineers or dedicated volunteers still learning the ropes. They offer clear, consistent, and beautiful sound every single week.
If you want every word understood, every instrument balanced, and every worship moment experienced without distraction, the CQ Series could be the upgrade your church has been waiting for.
Key Features of the Allen & Heath CQ Series
1. User-Friendly Touchscreen Interface
For many churches, the sound booth is staffed by volunteers with a heart to serve but not necessarily years of mixing experience. The CQ Series makes their job simple with a bright, intuitive touchscreen that replaces guesswork with confidence.
Adjusting levels, applying EQ, or recalling saved settings is quick and straightforward—no digging through complicated menus. It’s approachable, even for a first-time operator.
2. High-Quality Integrated Effects
Great sound isn’t just about volume—it’s about depth and polish. With studio-grade reverb, compression, delay, and more built in, the CQ Series helps worship teams sound full and professional.
Vocals can be warm and present, instruments can have space and texture, and drums can hit with the right punch—all without the clutter of external processors or racks of gear.
The result? A cleaner setup and a more immersive worship experience.
3. Multiple Input Options & Flexible Routing
Whether your worship team is a solo vocalist with an acoustic guitar or a full band with keys, drums, and multiple vocalists, the CQ Series can handle it. With models offering up to 20 inputs and 8 outputs, there’s room for every mic and instrument.
Even better, its customizable routing lets you send audio wherever you need it—mains, monitors, livestream, recording, or all of the above. That makes it the perfect all-in-one solution for Sunday services, youth group, weddings, and community events.
4. Remote Mixing from Anywhere
No more guessing how it sounds throughout the sanctuary. With the CQ Series’ remote mixing capability, you can walk the room with a tablet in hand and make adjustments on the spot.
You hear what your congregation hears—and can fine-tune the mix in real time.
5. Modern Connectivity for Today’s Worship Needs
Today’s churches do more than fill a room with sound—they share services online, record sermons, and integrate multimedia. The CQ Series is ready for it all, featuring MIDI control as well as USB and Bluetooth playback/recording.
