Allen & Heath SQ-7+ 48-Input 36-Bus Digital Mixer with 32+1 Motorized Faders and RackUltra FX

Building upon the success of the original SQ7, the Allen & Heath SQ-7+ is a 48-channel, 36-bus digital mixing console with numerous enhancements including more processing power, a large 9" touchscreen with reimagined GUI, and a cleaner, carbon-on-graphite update to the surface artwork and controls. The SQ7+ continues to be a go-to solution for owner operators, midsize venues, small tours, and anywhere audio quality and interoperability are vital, including live sound applications, corporate A/V, recording studios, and houses of worship.

The SQ-7+ features 32+1 motorized faders and 32 professional-quality microphone preamps. There are also eight stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels and four RackUltra FX engines with the ability to run the latest DEEP channel processing. The mixer's 12 stereo outputs (configurable as groups or aux's) are well suited for in-ear-monitor setups, while the Automatic Mic Mixing function offers quick and easy operation over multiple microphones for conferences, panel talks, and more. At the heart of the SQ-7+ lies a 96 kHz XCVI Core FPGA engine, which delivers professional, high-resolution audio quality, ultralow latency (less than 0.7 ms), variable bit depth for precision and noise performance, mix coherency down to the sample, and the power to handle high channel/mix counts with FX processing.

Drag-and-Drop Layout

• Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip with custom naming and color coding on the display, letting you build a mixing environment that works for you.

At-a-Glance Metering

• Each strip features Allen & Heath's patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication down to -72 dB, thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and color.

Accelerate Your Workflow

• All SQ+ mixers feature assignable soft keys for quick access to the functions you use the most. The SQ6+ and SQ7+ include assignable soft rotaries for even more custom control.

All the Tools for the Perfect Mix

• Every input channel comes equipped with its own HPF, a superfast gate with side-chain, and a filter, a freely assignable insert point, a musical 4-band parametric equaliser with RTA, and Peak/RMS compressor for control and shaping of levels and transients. Mixes include both a parametric and 28-band graphic EQ, and a compressor, all ready to switch in when required.

DEEP Processing: Latency-Free Emulations

• SQ+ supports the latest generation of DEEP processing add-ons - models of classic analog hardware embedded directly into your channel and mix strips, adding no latency, and available on every channel simultaneously.

Two FX Suites: Twelve FX Engines

• SQ+ is equipped with 8 Rack Extra FX engines, each with its own dedicated stereo return, giving you access to the acclaimed Rack Extra FX suite, featuring emulations of legendary reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators, and more.
• Four built-in Rack Ultra FX engines take SQ+ further, each with dedicated stereo sends and returns. First developed for the flagship dLive system and proven on international tours, the Rack Ultra FX suite of add-ons brings premium reverbs, vocal tuning and pitch processors, distortion, saturation, and more to SQ+. The 4 engines can also run Rack Extra FX for maximum flexibility.

Built for the Real World

A robust all-metal chassis provides the strength and rigidity to handle the rigours of touring and installation alike, while the new carbon-ongraphite finish with black and white knobs and fader caps gives it a sharp, contemporary look that holds up under real-world use. Every SQ+ comes backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty as standard.
