Allen & Heath CQ18T-RK19 19-Inch Rackmount Kit for CQ-18T Digital Mixer

Allen & Heath CQ18T-RK19: Install Your CQ-18T in the Rack

The Allen & Heath CQ18T-RK19 is a 19-inch rackmount kit that secures the CQ-18T digital mixer into a standard rack or road case. For fixed installs, broadcast rooms and touring racks, a mixer bolted into a rack is safer, tidier and more professional than one sitting loose on a desk, and this purpose-made kit is how you get the CQ-18T there. It turns the desktop mixer into a proper rack-mounted component.

Sized for a Standard 19-Inch Rack

The kit provides a pair of rack ears that mount the CQ-18T in any standard 19-inch rack, occupying 6 rack units. Allen & Heath's fitting guidance recommends leaving blank space above and below the mixer, so the power supply has room at the top and the headphone jack stays accessible at the bottom. Following that layout keeps the mixer fully usable once racked, with nothing blocked or pinched.

Everything the Install Requires

The CQ18T-RK19 includes both the left and right rack brackets and the mounting hardware needed to fit them, so racking the mixer is a complete, straightforward job. Once installed, the CQ-18T is held securely for transport in a road case or for permanent duty in an equipment rack. The ears are engineered specifically for the CQ-18T, so it aligns correctly without improvisation.

Who the CQ18T-RK19 Is For

Engineers racking the CQ-18T in a touring or install rack, and anyone securing the mixer in a road case, are exactly who this kit serves. It is the accessory that makes the CQ-18T at home in a professional rack, whether in an AV install, a broadcast setup or a touring system. When the CQ-18T needs to live in a rack, the CQ18T-RK19 is the correct, purpose-built way to mount it.
