The Korena take
The CQ-12T puts hands-on digital mixing, recording, and playback into an ultracompact desktop format. It supplies 10 mic/line inputs—five XLR and five XLR/quarter-inch combo—plus a stereo TRS line input. Preamp Gain Assistant and Feedback Assistant reduce two common setup tasks, while Quick inputs provide instrument-based processing and Complete inputs allow more customized adjustment. The 7-inch touchscreen, screen-navigation buttons, soft keys, and rotary encoder keep control on the surface. USB, SD, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and multiple outputs support live, rehearsal, virtual-soundcheck, and recording workflows.
