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 32x32 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 64x64 channels.
