The Allen & Heath SQ-6 is a powerful digital mixer designed for professionals working in demanding environments such as live sound, recording, and streaming. Featuring class-leading 96kHz FPGA processing and ultra-low latency (<0.7ms), the SQ-6 delivers exceptional audio quality and performance across a wide range of applications.

Features

• 96kHz FPGA Processing: The SQ-6 utilizes Allen & Heath’s revolutionary XCVI FPGA engine, providing pristine high-resolution audio with <0.7ms latency, perfect for live sound and critical recording scenarios.

• 48 Input Channels & 24 Onboard Preamps: With 48 inputs and 24 onboard mic preamps, the SQ-6 is built to handle large-scale mixes with ease.

• DEEP Processing: Powered by Allen & Heath's award-winning DEEP Processing from the dLive series, SQ-6 offers studio-quality processing on every channel without additional hardware or latency.

• High-Resolution Touchscreen: The 7” capacitive touchscreen offers clear visual feedback, while illuminating encoders provide tactile, hands-on control, enhancing the user experience.

• Advanced Mixing Tools: Every input on the SQ-6 features a high-pass filter (HPF), super-fast gate with sidechain and filter, 4-band parametric EQ, and Peak/RMS compressors, giving you full control to shape your sound.

• Mixing Flexibility: 12 stereo mixes + LR and 3 stereo matrix mixes offer flexible routing options. Each mix also comes with a parametric and 28-band graphic EQ for detailed sound shaping.

• 8 Stereo FX Engines: Includes 8 stereo FX engines and dedicated stereo returns, providing access to the RackExtra FX library, a collection of legendary reverbs, delays, and other classic effects.

• AMM (Automatic Mic Mixer): Fully integrated AMM systems make it an excellent choice for conferences, panel talks, TV shows, and similar applications. It supports up to two 24-channel AMMs for different zones, or one 48-channel AMM for larger events.

• SQ MixPad: The SQ MixPad app is available for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, providing remote editing and control of the mixer’s functions—both wired and wirelessly.

• ME Personal Mixing System Compatibility: The SQ-6 is fully compatible with ME-1 and ME-500 personal mixers, allowing performers to control their monitor mixes via the SLink port or connected remote expanders.

• Expandable I/O: The 64ch I/O port for audio networking and remote expanders enables the SQ-6 to integrate into larger systems seamlessly.

• 32×32 USB Audio Interface: Built-in 32x32 USB audio interface for easy multitrack recording, virtual soundcheck, and backing tracks.

• Customizable Workflow: The intuitive drag-and-drop functionality and custom color coding allow engineers to personalize the interface and workflow to match their needs.
