Description
The Allen & Heath CQ-12T Rack Ear Kit is designed to mount the Allen & Heath CQ-12T ultra-compact digital mixer into a standard 19" equipment rack or rack case. It is a practical accessory for users who want to integrate the CQ-12T into a cleaner, more secure and more professional rack-based audio system.
Designed specifically for the CQ-12T, this rack mounting kit is ideal for compact live sound systems, AV racks, venue installations, school audio setups, houses of worship, rehearsal spaces, conference systems and mobile production cases. Rather than leaving the mixer as a loose desktop unit, the rack ears allow it to be installed neatly alongside other equipment such as wireless microphone receivers, amplifiers, processors, media players, network hardware and power distribution.
Rack mounting is particularly useful where the mixer is part of a wider system that needs to remain organised, protected and quick to deploy. For portable systems, the CQ-12T can be mounted into a rack case with the rest of the audio equipment, helping reduce setup time and making transport more efficient. For fixed installations, it provides a tidy and accessible mounting solution inside an AV cupboard, control area, technical rack or stage-side equipment location.
The kit includes the left and right rack ears required for the CQ-12T, along with the fixing screws needed for installation. Once fitted, the mixer can be mounted into a standard 19" rack or case, with a minimum of 6U rack space required. This makes it a suitable option for professional users who want to keep their CQ-12T secure, accessible and presented as part of a complete system.
Finished in black, the rack ears offer a discreet appearance that complements the mixer and matches standard rack-mounted audio equipment. The result is a neat, reliable and professional installation method for users who require better equipment organisation without compromising access to the mixer controls.
For Allen & Heath CQ-12T owners, the CQ-12T Rack Ear Kit is a sensible addition when building a portable or installed audio setup. It helps improve system layout, simplifies transport, supports cleaner cabling and keeps the mixer ready for use in demanding professional environments.
