Hi there!
Yesterday I had my first gig with the CQ-12t + an Access Point. I’d say it was the perfect situation for that little desk – 4 mics, 2 of on a lectern.
What I’d do on the SQ is: Put the lectern mics into a gang so that I can control their parameters together, but put them out mono. Then I’d let the automixer do the balancing between the two.
On the CQ, I can only create stereo links. While simplicity is key here for amateur users, it keeps me from doing the lectern thing – I’d either need ganging or an adjustable stereo width (setting stereo width to zero in that case). If I had to chose, I’d go for the adjustable stereo width since also in some amateur music situations, 100% stereo may be too much (think Hammond organ simulations).
A workaround is to use the channel linking of MixingStation, but I’m not sure what happens when I use the desk’s touch screen directly, which is an option I’d always like to have.
Best
