Let’s break down what makes the SQ-7 the gold standard in digital mixers and why it’s the professional choice for both sound engineers and event managers.

Unparalleled Audio Performance with XCVI FPGA Engine

At the heart of the SQ-7 is Allen & Heath’s 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine, offering pristine audio quality with an ultra-low latency of less than 0.7ms. This high-resolution processing ensures that every sound coming through your system is crystal clear and free of delays, crucial for live productions where timing is everything. Whether you’re dealing with large-scale live performances or intricate corporate AV setups, the XCVI engine delivers an unmatched sound experience, making your event flawless.

48 Channels and Extensive Bus Configurations

Need flexibility in managing multiple inputs? The SQ-7 delivers with 48 channels and 36 bus configurations, allowing for seamless operation in even the most demanding scenarios. With 32 high-quality onboard mic preamps, you can capture every detail of live performances with studio-level precision. These features make the SQ-7 ideal for audio engineers dealing with complex events that require control over a wide range of sound sources.

Built for In-Ear Monitoring and Automatic Mic Mixing

One of the standout features of the SQ-7 is its 12 stereo mixes, making it a perfect choice for in-ear monitoring setups. Musicians and performers can enjoy a custom sound experience tailored to their individual needs, ensuring superior sound quality in their monitors. Plus, with automatic mic mixing (AMM), you won’t have to worry about mic level adjustments in conference settings or panel discussions. This feature is particularly useful in corporate events or broadcasting scenarios, where multiple speakers need to be balanced automatically and effectively.

Advanced Processing for Precision Mixing

The SQ-7 is loaded with processing power to help you craft the perfect mix. With 48 inputs, each equipped with HPF, a 4-band parametric EQ, and a Peak/RMS compressor, you have the tools to fine-tune your sound to perfection. Need even more control? Each mix comes with both parametric and 28-band graphic EQ, ensuring your audio output is precisely tailored to your environment. This flexibility is critical when managing diverse live sound setups, such as house-of-worship services or multi-act productions.

DEEP Processing and RackExtra FX Engines

If you're aiming for top-tier sound, the SQ-7 has you covered with DEEP Processing—a feature proven by world-touring artists. You’ll get studio-quality processing on every channel without added latency or third-party hardware. In addition, the console comes with 8 stereo FX engines and access to the RackExtra library, providing a wide variety of reverbs, delays, modulators, and more. With dedicated stereo return channels, none of your precious input channels will be sacrificed for effects processing.

Expandable and Adaptable: A Future-Proof Solution

The SQ-7 is designed for versatility. Its SLink intelligent port allows for easy expansion, enabling you to connect up to 48 mic inputs through a variety of 96kHz and 48kHz rack and stage box expanders. This makes it easy to scale your setup for larger events or link with other Allen & Heath systems. Need even more connectivity? The SQ-7 can be linked to Dante, MADI, or Waves audio networking cards, allowing you to integrate seamlessly with existing audio systems or provide digital Front-of-House and Monitor splits.

Exceptional User Experience with a High-Res Touchscreen

Mixing shouldn’t be a chore, and Allen & Heath ensures this with the SQ-7’s intuitive 7” touchscreen interface. The high-res display, combined with illuminating encoders and customizable fader strips, gives you complete control over your mixing environment. Whether you’re live mixing for a concert or fine-tuning settings for a corporate event, the user-friendly dashboard offers precise, real-time control over every aspect of your sound.
