A lot of time and effort has gone into this video. Being a musician and fellow videographer I can tell you have put the graft in for this it's a great production and I will be revisiting this video when my unit arrives to take notes. Thank you
BIG BLESSING! Wow, I learned so much. Thank you for your service to the Lord and His people. May the Lord bless you. Greetings from Macedonia. 🙏🙌
Love it, we use it in a small church in Almere, the Netherland, Europe last sunday for the first time. Great sound quality, very easy to use. The old desk was the Allen & Heat QU-16 with an "old school" snake (there was no budget for a stage box) So when this was available we sold the QU-16 and bought the CQ-18-T. We even made a small profit for the church ;-)
My family live and serve in Almere as well. Small world.
Our church has been using a line 6 m20d for years. It has served inexperienced volunteers well over the years. It now has software issues and no longer has any support from line6 or Yamaha who bought line6. The CQ seems to be a familiar platform we can easily transition to with some big upgrades from the m20d. Thanks for this video and for all the help you provide churches.
Nicely done. I got a CQ18T a couple of months ago for my portable rig (replaced my TouchMix-8), and I'm loving it. For portability, I'd highly recommend getting two of the QSC K8.2 loudspeakers. They have an amazing, crystal clear sound that easily fills an auditorium, and the size makes them perfect for portability.
Thank you for this video, you helped tremendously set up our church sound.
So good. For all small churches or youth groups out there.
Excellent demo. You did a good job!
Very informative and great option for a setup! Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you Jake!
thank you for your work peace and love
Thanks for crafting such a cool video!
Awesome video. I think ur the only one on YT who has done a walkthrough.
Thank you very much. I learnt a lot ready for delivery of the CQ18 this weekend
Mines on back order but I feel like I know it already!!
You have really accomplished the right balance of conveying technical information, personal insights, and professional passion. I am not a church person, but I will be following your process quite closely as I use my A&H CQ with my bose system for gigs. You have really done a brilliant job with this video and I hope A&H reimburses you for promoting their tech in the most capable format.
Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Got mine on preorder and can’t wait to get it! Can you do a video on how to send the audio to a live stream from this mixer? I bought it so I can teach drums via zoom/remotely and send the final mix (with EQ’s and effects) to the live stream. How do you route it especially because zoom and all these other outlets only recognize channels 1&2. Thank you in advance! Amazing demo and overview!!
Thank you for this video, very educational and very clear. I'm thinking of buying this CQ-18T (but not right away) to add sound to my nephew's drums. In my home studio I personally use a Qu-16 and the reputation of Allen & Heath is well established. You have confirmed my decision. Merci from France!
just perfect video !!!
Sounding Great.... Super Helpful with AllenHearth potable Console
Awesome👌👍
Love it❤
I ordered CQ-20B so excited to use it.
Update us when you get it and let us know, or better yet make a video showing how it works in your setup
Hi, I tried to use this with my laptop and tried to play music from laptop but it didn't work. can you help me what was the missing?
This is great information. Thank you
Excellent video!
It's amazing the number of people who don't understand signal balance.
When your look down and your master is at -40 to make the room work, warning bells need to go off that something is wrong.....
Great demo of this gear. I'm really interested in this little mixer.
Great for those that are used to running the QSC TouchMix-16 mixer from ten years ago.
Love it! Love your tutorial! I would love to see the hole process with a rock band!😍😍
Super ❤great video jake love it
thanks for
Thanks for your video 🙏👍
Saw in a little cafe where their place is an L-shaped and there's no space for a mixing board. Speakers are up on the wall and it's just allowed us to control the sound much better. and gave us space. A church uses their space on Sundays and they love it too
Great video
Very nice video at excellent pace! I have only one question, do you miss the Dante interface, or haven't you have need for that in your setups?
Cheers, Jeroen
As someone who mixed on the Xair 18 from Behringer for 7 years this feels like what Behringer should of updated the XR18 to be 4 years ago. Smaller setup better iPad setup. would be cool if there was a custom gator travel box that you could use to create a really small rack mount system. But this thing is sick and if i was still in that small church setting I would upgrade to this immediately.
to be fair, A&H only just released this months ago. There's still time for Behringer to update but they are still selling those Xair and X32 units so it's no rush for them. A&H have set an extremely high bar. You can criticise any company for not being as good as them with these offerings for this market segment. Presonus dosn't have anything as good as this. Neither does soundcraft, neither does yamaha... these are unique.
Thank you for this awesome video. Please can you show us step by step how you did hook up all the material that you are using please. Also which program did you use on your macbook and if you can share the program with me please. My church need this set up. Thank you in advance
Best mixing and most portable console I ever used in a live setting is the Midas M32C. Amazing machine solely controlled on iPad. The only downside is that it has no headphone amp but that is easy to workaround. I use the headphone output on the Midas DL16. but the other downside is the use of ancient 1930s storage system for its Freescale CPU. But the machine is the full M32 Live in a single rack unit. I use mine for both live events and as an audio interface in the studio via touchscreen monitors powered by a intel Nuc to work the M32 Edit software. It is futuristic.
The M32C seems like a pretty amazing machine, but as a rack mixer it has very few connections and controls built in. It is meant to work with an external controller (iPad) and an external stage box. For a person who does not own a car, hauling a tablet and a stage box in addition to a 1U rack unit isn't exactly a portable combination. Plus the total price of those components is quite a bit higher than the CQ series which has all of that built in. The M32C definitely has its uses and competes well with the CQ series in small fixed installations, but doesn't quite fit my portability requirements.
good stuff to but different price range
Thank you for very excellent documentary on Allen & Heath CQ mixer. Does CQ mixer have any feedback suppression on it?
Great job guys...I"m thinking about updating from midas mr18 and this look and sound great
Thank you for all those useful infos and precisions in live conditions. I'm just wondering how it is compares against a Soundcraft UI24R, above all concerning sound quality (preamp headroom, FX...). Just concerning the effects as for instance reverb and Delay, through the You Tube videos, I find the Soundcraft effects much richer (?).
My order is in!
I have this unit already and am grateful for you doing a video on it.
Tell us how it is, I wondered about no screen and Ipad use...... I'm assuming you get the same screen we see on the CQ-18T
@@mrr8682 I may be missing a piece of info. Can you rephrase so I can best answer? Are you meaning how is the experience with it in general?
Nice to see this kind of videos - sometimes a small setup can be very nice :) This little board is really nice. Speakwise lights -> how do you handle this outdoor ..?.. May it sounds dump but in Poland i was often at outdoors events.
Good afternoon, excellent video. Now, can you let me know how can I record in a usb drive? For stereo
5:38 Behringer PM1 are the musicians dragging around cables for IE or do they have expensive wireless boxes.... ? and TY for going into so much detail and explaining how to make it happen!! I'm sure the service sounds awesome!!
Amazing review - Thank You.
Have you used an electric guitar yet ?
Just wander how you would set that up ?
Hi Jake, great run down on this mixer. Please tell me where ye got that stand for the TV thats on stage. It looks a lot sturdier that our current TV stand. Also I would like watch some video of ur sermons or maybe even interview type talks u may have given about encountering Jesus etc from a zoomed out perspective... I could only find one or two on RUclips but they mostly centred around tech etc. God bless, Marcus from Ireland
Can you demo the new BMD studio micro G2? I’m thinking about replacing our two BMPCC 4Ks with the micro G2s for an even more compact camera bag.
How are the built-in effects processors for vocals? Are they as good as a third party processor, or should I consider purchasing one and adding it to the system?
I would use the 18T from the back of the room as the main mixer and have a 20B on stage which you control with an iPad. Thats enough inputs for most small to medium churches. The 20B acts as a stage box even though it's not a stage box, it's an independent unit. Can just send stereo output into once of the stereo inputs of the 18T and thats good enough. Not too complicated. Both of these mixers together are still cheaper that a single Yamaha TF3 24ch digital mixer. You'd have enough money left over for a cheap iPad.
Can I use the two stereo inputs to run main keys in stereo? Or can you run stereo out of one channel?
Hi, How can you help us with our soung?
two cq18 can expand connect on one panel control?
Please how can I do the talkback mic on this mixer?
Geeze🎉
Hey! Can u show us how to multitrack with Logic Pro, please!!
Very nice video - This gear helped us to resolve many of the sound issue we had in our church' setting, but we are still not able to capture the sound from CQ18T to the laptop for livestream via OBS.
Is this still the case with not being able capture for OBS? I've see videos stating you can send Multitrack feeds via USB, and OBS should be able to recognize the CQ as an audio interface... I've been researching this product (actually CQ-12) to use as an audio feed for Logic Pro... keep us posted with an update... Great video by the way! #Salute
Are the jack outs stereo for IEM
Was there a reason why you didn't create a separate mix for the livestream?
Hi ! How fare away can you be without having connections problems with the wifi connection ? Thanks !
What is one way to solve downsampling, the feed on the camera screen looks very clear, but take the same feed through HDMI into videocard then to laptop you have something else, how does one solve this
is this gear only working in church or could i use it also somewhere else?
IM SURE JESUS WANTS YOU TO REWARD ME WITH THIS SET UP
I've downloaded the CQ mixpad app and from what I can tell, you can't EQ the reverb, is that correct? In other words, you can't filter out the lows or the highs on the reverbs. Also, the reverbs have no control for decay time, other than the knob labeled "size". Has anyone been able to find more controls for the effects?
great video.
if is possible, mae a video teaching how use multitracks with this setup
how about ping ponging...
Could you get the screenless version and place on stage for all inputs. Then control with iPad at back of sanctuary / auditorium platform?
Yeh they do one it’s the cq20b
I've been trying to understand how propresenter works for livestreaming..... with all the lyrics and bible verses, do you have to prepare them in advance?
What streaming software are you using
What do you think of those Turbo Sound Column arrays?
Be careful hooking up the Behringer PM1s to symmetrical outputs on consoles/stagesboxes, since they expect a stereo signal over XLR, not the usual hot/cold provided by a symmetric output! Our church ran this setup for quite a while until I opened up one to repair it and realized how it was wired internally. We now have modded all our PM1s to connect both the left and right channel to the same XLR-Signal-Pin, which improved the Sound-Quality considerably.
You will get phase cancelation. That why it sounds so horrible. You can do an adapter that only brings + of that output to pin 2 and 3 to the belt pack. Second downside of that PM1 it has no amp. The word "in ear amp" is wrong, because there is no amp...
@@dennishoffleit thats essentially what we did, just inside the PM1 instead of as a Cable which someone might use somewhere else by accident.
Can someone explain to me, what PM1 is good for? AFAIK it is literally a very expensive volume attenuator, which requires very strange TRS-XLR stereo connection instead of normal minijack (why?), which afaik no mixer has, so it requires a headamp anyway.
@@aleksandergrzybowski8899it works fine on an XLR doesnt it?
@@heatheldridge7127 XLR is just a connector. PM1 needs headphone amp levels on that connector (imagine minijack from your phone - that's the level you want), otherwise, with typical XLR levels, the volume will be very quiet (correct me if I'm wrong).
hello sir what elgato are you using in loptap
1) Is Allen and Heath CQ series supports external DAW application like waves superrack performer?
2) if they would have given ultranet port for in-ear for ME-500 in same console...it will be mind blowing.... because XR18 and MR18 has those options. 2:16
Is it class compliant ? Can it be used with Logic Pro for iPad 😊
Can you compare the midas sound with this one
Is it possible to record and edit later? Lets say i record a live right now and i want to do the edit later but on the mixer not on a computer, is it possible? I know on some mixers you can.
19:00 keys are probably coming out at line level. Rather than put them through the preamp XLRs, put them into the line inputs. If you must use XLRs, then set gain to minimum (trying to turn preamps off, essentially).
Tried the link for the toolkit and not found!
great information, thanks. Camera usage needs work, are you on the high seas on a boat?????
Chaz Hakkında Harika Açıklamalarda Bulunduz Çok Teşekkürler.Ancak Sahnede veya sütüdyoda Bu Cihazla Daw Kayıtları almak Mümkünmü ve Ayrıca Camera Bağlayıp Görüntülü Canlı Yayın Yapabilirmiyiz.? Saygılarımla
We made great explanations about Chaz. Thank you very much. However, is it possible to take Daw Recordings with this device on stage or in the studio and can we also connect a camera and make a live video broadcast? Kind regards
i almost bought one but i couldnt scrape the extra few hundred i needed and the tascam 12 went on sale. gonna buy the qt 18 soon tho and just sell the tascam.
Hello, brother do you have any scene to sell? And add to my CQ 18T
You recorded on an SD card, and then you switched the input source to usb in order to play the track back? I tried that, and nothing happened.
What's the name of the song used for the sound check 😢😢
Does this have mix minus capability?
Camera man thinks he's Michael Bay with the light flares, love it! lol
Which version of Pro Presenter is this?
I have a question usually when we record the sermons at our church I use a camera shotgun microphone but is there a way I can get the sound from the mixer, without a laptop because it won’t be for live it’s just to record the video ? And I have a Rockville rpm870 mixer
The CQ series is able to record at least to SD cards and possibly to an USB stick as well. The SD card recording is multitrack so it can be fine tuned in post. Not sure if that was what you asked for?
Do i need an extra device to setup in ear monitors for musicians? Or the wifi/bluetooth internal does the job?
It has seperate monitor outputs (6) you can send to individual musicians in ears, they can also control them (limited; mainly volume and EQ) from their smartphone using the in ear mixing app they have
I would love to see how this compares to the QSC touch mix
everything will be better then QSC touch mix :)
Question, if you're showing a sermon graphic why the speaker is ministering, is there a way to "disable" it from showing on the livestream or it just be in a lower corner of the stream?
Yes ProPresenter has the ability to change those looks on the fly.
Did you ever try the cq20b
Is stereo a good idea?
Is there a talk back mic on this mixer and can I add talkback mic’s ?
not sure if theres built in funcitonality - but you could use one of the inputs for a talkback mic and just be sure its routed to the inears and a level of -infnity in the main and other audience sends.
the faders are too small and the drwaing of "mic" and "drums"are too big. can we change this?
Please like this Mixer
❤👍
can someone tell if the aux and main mix have posibilily to delay out signals?
Nope, gotta get a console mixer for that. I have delay options on my dbx Driverack and JBL speakers, if I need it. But no delay on this (or any other, that I know of) box mixer.
How can I have a church service on the air without the four walls
Beginning 22:29 I hear crackling throughout this adjustment, even on the last word 'love'.
how much is all of this?
That reverb explodes on every explosive consonant. It could use some pre-delay, probably
