With the CQ range, Allen & Heath have created a super portable and fun to use, but still fully featured digital mixer, suitable for technical and non-technical users alike. CQ is designed to be used anywhere high-quality sound processing and summing is required, from bands and producers to AV and rental, from the main mixer in a small venue to a sub mixer on the largest stage.
Under the hood is a powerhouse of processing with Allen & Heath’s renowned 96kHz FPGA technology. Including brand new smart tools and signal conscious FX to get you a better mix, faster. Quick Channels offer instrument and application specific processing. Dial in a full channel of processing with a single knob. Switch to a Complete Channel for advanced tweaking. CQ’s gain assistant saves you time by automatically and accurately setting preamp gain for you. It can then keep an eye on your preamp levels to prevent nasty peaks.
Find and remove feedback frequencies at setup using fixed mode and then watch out for feedback throughout the show across all outputs with live mode. Including brand new signal-conscious reverb and delay units which dynamically respond to signal to always sit correctly in the mix. Improve clarity and reduce background noise for speech applications without needing to lift a finger. Available on every input. Control the mixer from (almost) anywhere with free apps for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. CQ-MixPad gives the engineer complete control anywhere in the room and CQ4You allows the performer to adjust only their mix and hear exactly what they need to.

Ace controller to have around the house. Easy to move around with the battery and USB-C power and being totally standalone. Love the minimal look and the functionality is just right for me, everything I need to play with confidence. Streaming of Beatport and TIDAL has now also been added with a firmware update, and works nicely. I sold a DDJ-1000 and got this to replace it and am very happy.
Only thing I'm missing is maybe a second USB port to transition between DJs, but there are workaround for this.

Look high and low for this!
I am from the USA and had to scour high and low to be able to find a pair of these special limited edition control vinyls. Only 1500 copies were pressed and so I am grateful Mix Foundation had some in stock and was willing to ship in internationally to me. The vinyls arrived within in less than 2 weeks in perfect condition. Awesome customer service from Mix Foundation, thank you!

Ultimately It’s A Laptop Stand
So, um… yep, it’s definitely a laptop stand, and it is indeed black (as pictured). It stands and holds… erm… laptops. It may even hold other items, like a bag of potato chips (update: it will not feasibly hold a bag of potato chips although this is most likely the result of a flaw in the design of the potato chip bag, rather than the stand).
Unfortunately, it’s also unlikely to hold a very heavy item either, like, say, a car. Or even just a car engine. To be fair, UDG has never claimed that this stand will hold any sort of vehicle. Still, I suggest you’d be better off purchasing a hoist or jack if you plan to lift a vehicle of any description. And yes, I get that this might seem a bit OVER THE TOP for a smaller vehicle, like a bicycle.
I use the stand when DJing. It ELEVATES my performance. It’s outSTANDING and really LIFTs my confidence. The audience also gets a RISE out of interacting with it. Using it really is the Ultimate HIGH.
An unexpected benefit is that the blackness of the stand matches the color of my soul after playing "Wagon Wheel," “TikTok” or "I Gotta Feeling" for the one million billion gazillionth time.
By 2:45 AM, I can really use the BOOST provided by the beauty of the stand’s shiny finish. While this might seem beneficial at first, it often turns into a downside; I start contemplating how the stand will likely lose its shine as it ages. This sends my morale into a downward spiral as I reflect on my own aging. I begin to question some of my life choices. Am I losing my shine? I mean, I’m not in as good shape as I was when I was unboxed. (It occurs to me that this may be due to the potato chips.) Whatever the reason, this line of thought makes me sad. However, it’s probably unreasonable to blame the stand for this.
I HIGHLY recommend purchasing a UDG Ultimate Height Adjustable Laptop Stand in Black. But only if you’re looking for a stand for your laptop.
(Further update: The potato chip problem can be resolved by ensuring that you install the firmware update and place the bag UNDER the erect laptop stand. Note that this will only work with thin-cut chips.) ((Some thick-cut chips may work if the bag is reinforced—I have yet to test this, so you might want to tread lightly before going all gung-ho with your chip placement choices. Also, make sure to keep a backup of the stand. Not the chips)). Side note: I would also NOT suggest that you tread ON the stand, no matter how lightly you might do so.
Whether you’re an expert laptop stand user or still a relative novice, I hope I’ve convinced you to purchase this stand.
Or some potato chips.

DDJ 1000 purchase
I dealt with Phillip and Mike. Mike went the extra mile and was very good at communicating and clarifying the different stages when purchasing via the online process. Thanks Mike. Very happy with the DDJ controller and enjoying the creative process. Thanks Mix Foundation, you are on point.

great product and service.
A last minute conversation and prompt delivery of this exact item required ensured my 1010 Bluebox was operating in time for critical rehearsals. Mix Foundation for the win!
Simple & easy way to protect your investment from dust or any random items falling on to your gear. It's as simple as placing the Decksaver on top of your gear.

Awesome piece of hardware. If you've owned Pioneer gear before, you know the quality is top notch. Coming from the DDJ-SX, the DDJ-FL10 is definitely an upgrade.
Don't think twice about buying it, just make the purchase.
