Built on our latest generation 96kHz FPGA XCVI core, it delivers pristine high-resolution audio quality, an ultra-low latency of <0.7ms, variable bit depth for optimised dynamic range, and the sheer power to embed our acclaimed DEEP plugins into all 48 input channels and all mixes.

Don’t get left behind.

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

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. No software setup, no soundcard driver issues and no extra laptop to bring to the performance. SQ-Drive is also a smart way to manage walk-in music.

Also provided is a built-in 32x32 96kHz audio interface for multitrack recording, backing tracks or virtual soundcheck applications. The interface is Core Audio and ASIO compliant and comes complete with MIDI and DAW control capabilities.

DEEP Processing

SQ’s DEEP processing architecture allows owners to handpick boutique compressor and preamp emulations to suit their style and needs.

DEEP plugins can be embedded directly within the mixer’s inputs and mix channels, all without adding system latency or setup hassles.

RackExtra FX

Allen & Heath has a well-earned reputation for crafting FX emulations that rival the very best plug-ins, but with none of the associated hassle.

SQ is armed with 8 stereo FX engines and features the acclaimed RackExtra library of emulations of

legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators and more.

All FX have dedicated stereo returns so you don’t need to waste input channels.

Expandable up to 48 mics

Thanks to its SLink intelligent port, SQ can be

DX168), making it a flexible solution for owners of

expanded up to a total of 48 mic inputs via a

other Allen & Heath digital systems. You can even

family of 96kHz and 48kHz rack and stage box

connect to another SQ, Qu or dLive system for two

expanders (e.g. AB168, AR2412, AR84 and

way audio patching.

Advanced AMM

SQ’s advanced automatic mic mixers (AMMs) make it a natural choice for mixing conferences, panel talks and TV shows. They’re fully integrated in the mixer too, with no extra latency, so you don’t need to route the audio to an internal DSP rack or an external plugin system. Two fully independent 24 channel AMMs can be utilised for two separate zones or combined into a single 48 channel AMM for larger events.
