User Interface
Mixing Has Never Been Easier
Drag-and-Drop Layout
Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the displays, allowing you to build a mixing environment that works for you.
At-a-Glance Metering
Each strip features our patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.
Intuitive Control
SQ’s dashboard is centred around a high-res 7” touchscreen, framed by an array of high-grip, illuminating encoders to create an intuitive, integrated blend of clear visual feedback and immediate, hands-on control.
Speed Up Your Workflow
All SQ mixers feature SoftKeys which can be assigned to commonly used functions. The SQ-6 and SQ-7 also provide assignable Soft Rotaries for even more custom control.
Processing & FX
All the Tools for the Perfect Mix
Processing
Powerful Processing
Every input has HPF, a super-fast gate with sidechain and filter, a musical 4-band parametric equaliser with RTA, and Peak/RMS compressor for control and shaping of levels and transients.
Mixes have both a parametric and 28 band graphic EQ along with compressor as standard, all ready to switch in when required.
FX
World-Class FX
SQ is armed with 8 stereo FX engines and comes complete with the acclaimed RackExtra library, featuring emulations of legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators and more.
Every engine has its own dedicated stereo return too, so you don’t need to use up any of your 48 input channels.
Integrated USB Interface
Record. Stream. Mix.
SQ’s built-in 32×32 96kHz audio interface enables easy multitrack recording, backing-track playback, livestreaming and virtual soundcheck.
The interface is class-compliant on Mac OS X making it truly plug ‘n play, with ASIO and WDM compatible drivers available for Windows computers.
You can even map the SQ’s faders, rotaries, channel keys and softkeys to control your favourite DAW using the Allen & Heath MIDI Control app.
