The DEEP processing architecture

The SQ's DEEP processing architecture allows users to select boutique compressor and preamp emulations according to their style and needs. DEEP plug-ins can be embedded directly into the mixer's inputs and mix channels without system latency or installation problems.

The ultimate IEM mixer

With no less than 12 stereo mixes, extremely low latency, and both parametric and graphical EQ on every mix, SQ is the perfect companion for in-ear monitoring setups. The compactness and robust quality of the SQ offer sufficient reasons to never again switch to home monitor consoles from other locations.

An integrated 32 × 32 96 kHz audio interface is also available for multi-track recording, backing tracks or virtual sound check applications. The interface is Core Audio and ASIO compliant and has MIDI and DAW control functions.

Advanced AMM

The advanced features of SQ's Automatic Microphone Mixer (AMM) make it a premium choice for mixing conferences, podium discussions and TV shows. It's fully integrated into the mixer without any additional latency, so you don't have to send the audio to an internal DSP rack or external plug-in system.

The mixing experience

With each new design, the Allen & Heath team strives to get closer to the ultimate mixing experience. SQ's dashboard is arranged around a high-resolution 7" capacitive touch screen, framed by a series of haptically appealing and illuminated encoders to create an intuitive, integrated mix of clear visual feedback and immediate, practical control. Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped onto any channel strip, with custom naming and color-coding on the channel LCDs, so you can create a mixing environment that reflects your own workflow. Each Strip features the patented Chromatic channelmetering system that gives you instant level indication with variable brightness and color LEDs.

RackExtra FX

Allen & Heath has a well-deserved reputation for developing FX emulations that can compete with the very best plug-ins, but without the hassle. SQ is equipped with 8 stereo FX engines and features the acclaimed RackExtra library with emulations of legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators and more. All FX's have dedicated stereo returns, so you don't have to waste input channels.
