Allen&Heath SQ-7 Digital Console 48CH

Description

Allen&Heath SQ-7 is the 33-fader flagship console in the SQ series, powered by Allen&Heath’s revolutionary 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine. The SQ-7 excels in demanding scenarios such as AV, corporate events, live productions and houses of worship. It offers pristine high-resolution audio quality and ultra-low latency of <0.7ms. The console features 32 exceptional onboard mic preamps, plus 8 stereo FX engines with dedicated stereo return channels. Additionally, you get access to the renowned RackExtra FX library. SQ is a natural choice for in-ear monitor setups, providing 12 stereo mixes (configurable as groups or auxes). The Automatic Mic Mixing makes it an excellent choice for conferences, panel talks and more.

The Allen&Heath SQ-7 comes equipped with all the processing you need to craft the perfect mix. 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-7 dashboard is centered around a high-res 7” capacitive touchscreen, framed by an array of high-grip, illuminating encoders. This creates an intuitive, integrated blend of clear visual feedback and immediate, hands-on control. Also, channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the colour strip displays. This allows you to build a mixing environment that mirrors your own workflow. Each strip features the SQ’s patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.
