Allen&Heath SQ-6 Digital Console 48CH

Description

The Allen&Heath SQ-6 is a next-generation digital mixer, powered by Allen&Heath’s revolutionary XCVI 96kHz FPGA engine. The SQ-6 excels in demanding scenarios such as AV, corporate events, live productions and houses of worship. Additionally, the SQ-6 offers class-leading high-resolution audio fidelity and ultra-low latency of <0.7ms. The console features 24 exceptional onboard mic preamps, plus 8 stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels. You also get access to the renowned RackExtra FX library. The Allen&Heath SQ-6 is a natural choice for in-ear monitor setups, providing 12 stereo mixes (configurable as groups or auxes).  Automatic Mic Mixing makes it an excellent choice for conferences, panel talks and more.

Every one of the 48 inputs has HPF, a super-fast gate with sidechain and filter, a musical 4-band parametric equalizer, 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. The XCVI core even allows for every compressor in SQ to have its own parallel path, without phase or coherency worries.

The Allen&Heath SQ-6 dashboard is centered around a high-res 7” capacitive 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. Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the colour strip displays, allowing you to build a mixing environment that mirrors your own workflow. Each strip features our patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.
