Hi everyone,
I’m using the CQ-12T and I’ve noticed that the high-pass filter isn’t very steep I need to set it quite a bit higher than usual to get rid of low-end rumble, and that affects the overall tone of my mix.
On the SQ5, the HPF felt more effective. I believe it had a steeper slope (maybe around 18 dB per octave).
Question 1:
Is there a way to adjust the high-pass filter slope on the CQ series, or is it fixed?
And does anyone know if Allen & Heath are planning a firmware update that would allow steeper HPF slopes (like 18 dB/oct)? That would make a big difference.
Question 2:
On the SQ5, I could easily copy a channel for example, duplicate my vocal channel so I could process one version for FOH and another for my in-ear mix with a slightly different EQ or effects.
What’s the best way to achieve something similar on the CQ-12T? Can I somehow duplicate a mic input and process it separately for my in-ear mix?
Thanks in advance loving the mixer overall, just trying to fine-tune my workflow!
It is fix.
However, you could try using your LF as an additional HPF to simulate a higher slope.
We users can’t know, and A&H won’t reveal any of their plans in advance.
You can only split your microphone signal analogically and distribute it to 2 inputs.

I think if they added option to change the slope of the hi pass filter it would be super useful and something i submitted suggestion in feature requests section. For those that like it how it is just keep it on the default slope and everyone is happy.
Even soundcraft ui24 released in 2017 (so hardware resources would be way less then today’s tech) has adjustable hi pass filter slope (12, 24 and 36 db oer octave). Just the 12 and 24 options would be the most useful options of those to me but having 3 options on that ui24 causes no issues. Plus ui24 also has low pass filter with same options for slopes. So hi pass, low pass filters plus 4 band parametric eq. Why leave out low pass filter? In my opinion, that should be standard. On output peq though i’d say adding at least another band or two of peq would be beneficial to have.
