Allen & Heath SQ-6 Digital Mixer

Expandable Up To 48 Microphones!

The SQ-6 provides all the onboard I/O you need for standalone operation. Thanks to the smart SLink port, the SQ-6 can also be expanded via a wide range of 96 kHz and 48 kHz rack and stagebox expanders (e.g. AB168, AR2412, AR84 and DX168) to up to 48 mic inputs. This creates a mix-and-match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems. You can also link your SQ directly to another SQ or even to a dLive system.

Dante, Waves and More

The SQ sits at the heart of a growing ecosystem of apps, expanders, audio networks, personal mixers and more — letting you connect, customize and expand as you see fit. The console is also compatible with leading audio network standards — add an audio networking card such as Dante or Waves to the SQ's I/O port and you can install integrated systems, provide a digital FoH/monitor split and much more.

Flexible Multitrack Recording

With the built-in SQ-Drive you can quickly and easily record a 96 kHz multitrack or stereo show directly to a USB stick or drive — no software setup, soundcard drivers or extra laptop required. SQ-Drive is also a smart way to manage break music or playback cues. There's also a built-in 32 x 32 96 kHz audio interface available for multitrack recording, backing tracks or virtual soundcheck applications. The interface is Core Audio and ASIO compatible and includes MIDI and DAW control features.

Advanced AMM

SQ's advanced Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) features make it a top choice for mixing conferences, panel discussions and TV productions. It is fully integrated into the mixer with no added latency, so you don't have to route audio to an internal DSP rack or external plug-in system.

Designed for the Professional

We know live environments can be tough. That's why we've developed our most rigorous testing regime yet for SQ. From its three-tier, all-metal chassis to its extruded aluminum light bar, SQ delivers enormous strength and stiffness that underpins its good looks.

The Mixing Experience

The SQ dashboard is arranged around a high-resolution 7" capacitive touchscreen, framed by a set of grippy, illuminated encoders to create an intuitive, integrated mix of clear visual feedback and direct, hands-on control. Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped onto any strip, with custom naming and color-coding on the color-strip displays so you can build a mixing environment that reflects your workflow. Each strip features our patented Chromatic channel meter system, giving you at-a-glance information via LEDs with variable brightness and color. The SQ-6 also offers 16 SoftKeys and 4 Soft Rotaries with displays that can be assigned to your chosen functions, plus a "Channel to All" mix button to instantly access all sends for the selected channel.
