Description
The Allen & Heath SQ-7 is the flagship model within the SQ series, delivering advanced 96kHz XCVI FPGA processing, ultra-low latency performance and exceptional high-resolution audio quality. Designed for professional live sound, touring, studio production and fixed installations, the SQ-7 provides expanded input capacity and comprehensive control for demanding audio environments.
The console offers 48 input channels and 36 buses, including 12 stereo mixes and 3 stereo matrices, supporting complex routing and monitor configurations. Thirty-two onboard XLR mic preamps with recallable settings ensure consistent signal integrity and rapid scene deployment across large-scale productions. Thirty-three motorised faders arranged over six layers provide extensive hands-on control and efficient workflow management.
A responsive 7-inch capacitive touchscreen enables intuitive navigation and real-time system access. The integrated DEEP processing architecture allows embedded plugins to run directly within input and mix channels, delivering advanced dynamics and tonal shaping without additional latency. Eight stereo FX engines with dedicated returns offer high-quality reverb, delay and modulation processing suitable for both music reinforcement and speech-driven applications.
The built-in 32x32 USB audio interface supports high-resolution multitrack recording and playback, facilitating virtual soundcheck and studio integration. Expansion is supported via the SLink port for remote audio connectivity and stagebox integration, alongside a 64-channel I/O port compatible with Dante and Waves networking options, ensuring scalable system growth.
Engineered for audio professionals requiring maximum channel count, flexible routing and future-ready networking, the Allen & Heath SQ-7 provides a powerful and adaptable digital mixing solution for large venues and complex installations.
