Relation au produit I own it
Succursale Toronto (Bloor St.), Ontario
This is my first digital mixer, and I thoroughly researched the market segment before buying it. Ultimately, the A&H came in front on the spec-sheet. Features like direct to SD multi track recording, a personal monitoring companion app, and hopes of a more modern internal wifi system (which typically are a weak point of most stagebox digital mixers), I decided to grab a CQ20b.
Live use:
The wifi is solid and connection drop-outs from the mixer haven't been a practical issue. I've used it in hall/warehouse environments, often being 40-50 from the mixer. If you put the app in background, you'll often be prompted to re-connect to the mixer, worth noting. More of a minor inconvenience than an issue. I don't feel the need to bring an external router to gigs, though maybe I'll grab a cheap one incase the antennae breaks at an event.
Most of my live mixing prior to this has been on boards like the A&H mix wizard, which are great, flexible analog boards. It can't be overstated however, how nice RTA, parametric EQ, gating/compression on each channel and output is. Creature comfort features like auto-gain, and autofeedback are also big time savers. I know these are standard to digital mixers these days, but the amount of rack gear this replaces , in such a tiny box, is incredible.
Studio Use:
If you're using this to replace your audio interface, you will need to get acquainted with the work flow. For example, monitor routing confused me slightly at first, and flows like re-amping a guitar require the use an input on the mixer to send audio from your DAW. It's a different paradigm, but after reading the manual (novel idea, I know), and doing my research, the benefits outweigh the slight inconveniences.
The flexibility and workflow of using a digital mixer for monitoring in studio environments crushes any software mixer I've used that comes with an audio interface (yes, even UAD's console). Sure, the effects may be more basic, but that's fine for me when they're just used for monitoring. The ability to give people a companion app, combined with a headphone amp that can handle individual mixes, gives you a cheap personal monitoring system. If you've ever looked into purchasing one of those, you'll understand the value ($$) here of having personal mix control in this box.
The mixer itself doesn't use any fancy drivers, so on mac it's truly plug and play after figuring out how the channels are routed.
I've been using this in rehearsal, having a click track sent over bluetooth, and its worked flawlessly for that, it has made that band a better band. We record our rehearsal to SD, and I can get a clean recording to know what we need to work on the following week, all without a laptop.
Caveats:
If the mixer loses power while recording to the SD card, consider your files gone. There are guides to recovery, but the haven't worked for me. If recording a performance is crucial, I'd suggest using a laptop to record via the interface simultaneously for redundancy.

Protégez votre investissement avec la Garantie de fiabilité Long & McQuade.
Une bonne garantie est souvent un facteur décisif au moment d’un achat. Étant donné qu’une réparation peut être très dispendieuse, les manufacturiers n’offrent en général qu’une protection limitée d’un an couvrant seulement les défauts de fabrication. Lors d’une acquisition aussi importante que celle d’un instrument de musique ou d’une pièce d’équipement, vous voudrez avoir l’assurance que votre achat sera protégé de façon adéquate.
C’est pourquoi Long & McQuade offre une année GRATUITE de sa Garantie de fiabilité sur la plupart de ses produits. Cette couverture, qui bonifie celle du fabricant, vous procurera la tranquillité d’esprit que vous recherchez.
En quoi la garantie Long & McQuade se distingue-t-elle de celles des autres fabricants?
- Fiabilité assurée : l’usure normale de certaines pièces est couverte. Le produit fonctionnera aussi bien qu’au premier jour pour toute la durée de la protection. Pour les instruments d’orchestre, nos techniciens et techniciennes évalueront la nécessité d’effectuer un nettoyage en profondeur, un remplacement de tampons ou un nettoyage à ultrasons. Ces services ne sont pas offerts systématiquement dans le cadre de la Garantie de fiabilité.
- Possibilité de remplacement : si votre produit est irréparable ou coûte trop cher à remettre en état, nous l’échangerons contre un modèle identique ou équivalent, sans frais supplémentaires. Si ce n’est pas possible, nous vous accorderons un remboursement complet.
- Politique anticitron : si votre article présente un problème récurrent, nous le remplacerons.
- Accessibilité : vous pouvez vous prévaloir de votre garantie dans n’importe quelle succursale Long & McQuade.
- Réglage de guitare : une mise au point gratuite est incluse à l’achat de toute guitare neuve ou d’occasion.
- Prêt de matériel : un produit de rechange peut être mis à votre disposition pendant la réparation de votre article.
- Survoltage couvert : l’appareil est garanti même s’il est endommagé par une surtension.
- Assurance-accessoires : tous les accessoires fournis avec le produit (pédale, étui, etc.) sont couverts.
- Usage commercial approuvé : l’équipement acheté pour une utilisation intensive bénéficie aussi de cette protection.
Long & McQuade se réserve le droit de limiter l’achat d’années additionnelles. Les produits d’occasion sont protégés par la Garantie de fiabilité pour une durée de trois mois. Certains articles (logiciels, cymbales, etc.) sont couverts uniquement par la garantie du fabricant. Les biens non durables (cordes, anches, baguettes, piles, tubes, etc.) sont exclus, tout comme les dommages accidentels, la détérioration esthétique et les problèmes causés par l’humidité ou la température. Les haut-parleurs endommagés par un usage excessif ne sont généralement pas couverts. Notre garantie ne compense pas la perte de jouissance. A partir de juin 2018, la garantie de performance n'est plus transférable. Valide seulement au Canada.
Achat d’années additionnelles de garantie
Certains fabricants offrent une garantie de plus d’un an, mais qui est en général limitée et moins avantageuse que la nôtre. Lorsque c’est le cas, la prolongation de notre protection vous sera tout de même profitable, du fait qu’elle est plus complète et pratique.
Vous pouvez acheter des années supplémentaires de notre protection si vous souhaitez en profiter plus longtemps. Les tarifs sont les suivants :
- Produits NEUFS : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
- Produits D’OCCASION : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer de trois mois à un an. 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
- GUITARES : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus. Tarif maximum de 45 $. Une mise au point gratuite supplémentaire n’est pas incluse avec l’achat d’années de couverture additionnelles.
- Instruments d’orchestre : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
