The Sound of Speed

SQ is a next generation digital mixer, powered by Allen & Heath’s revolutionary XCVI 96kHz FPGA engine. Created to excel in demanding scenarios such as AV, corporate events, live productions and houses of worship, SQ offers classleading high-resolution audio fidelity and an ultra-low latency of <0.7ms. The console features exceptional onboard mic preamps, support for zero-latency DEEP plug-ins plus 8 stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels and access to the renowned RackExtra FX library. SQ is a natural choice for in-ear monitor setups, providing 12 stereo mixes (configurable as groups or auxes), whilst Automatic Mic Mixing makes it an excellent choice for conferences, panel talks, broadcast and more.

Don’t get left behind. Discover SQ.

The Mixing Experience

We think that you should decide how the mixer operates, not the other way around. That’s why we’ve packed SQ with options that let you design your own workflows. Channels and mixes can be individually dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the displays, so you’re in full control of the layout. All models feature assignable SoftKeys and SQ-6 and SQ-7 offer Soft Rotaries with LCD displays, so you get to choose which functions you always have at your fingertips. The 7” capacitive touchscreen and accompanying rotary make navigating and adjusting SQ’s parameters fast and natural.

A ‘channel to all’ mix button instantly accesses all send levels and assignments for the selected channel. Each strip features our patented Chromatic Channel Metering system, giving at-a-glance level indication using variable brightness and colour.

Flexible Multitrack Recording

The integrated SQ-Drive makes it quick and easy to capture a 96kHz multitrack or stereo recording of the show direct to a USB key or drive.

Also provided is a built-in 32×32 96kHz audio interface for multitrack recording, backing tracks or virtual soundcheck applications. The interface is compatible with both Mac and PC and comes complete with MIDI and DAW control capabilities.

32 channels not enough? Add a Dante or Waves audio networking card for 64×64 channels.
