Installation Recommendations
Important: Allen & Heath recommends leaving blank rack space above and below the CQ-12T when mounted. This ensures:
- Proper ventilation around the cooling fan on the underside
- Easy access to power supply connection at the top
- Room for headphone jack access at the front bottom
- Optional access to rear power switch (though the mixer can remain powered on)
Pro Tip: Use the integrated cable tie point on the rack ears to secure your power supply cable for reliable, professional cable management that prevents accidental disconnection during transport.
