If you're looking to take your live sound setup to the next level, the Allen & Heath SQ-7 48-Channel 36-Bus Digital Mixer is the ultimate solution for demanding environments like AV, corporate events, live productions, and houses of worship. This flagship console in the SQ series is designed with a robust 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine, ensuring high-resolution audio quality with ultra-low latency of less than 0.7ms. Whether you're managing complex audio setups or seeking pristine sound for your performances, the SQ-7 is engineered to deliver exceptional results, offering professional-grade features that can handle any situation.

Impressive 48-Channel / 36-Bus Setup with 32 Motorized Faders

The Allen & Heath SQ-7 boasts a powerful 48-channel / 36-bus configuration, giving you ample flexibility to manage even the most intricate sound designs. The 32+1 motorized faders offer precise control, enabling seamless transitions and adjustments during live performances or events. The console’s design makes it an excellent choice for both seasoned audio professionals and those stepping up their game in more complex audio environments.

Professional-Grade Audio Quality with Low Latency

What sets the SQ-7 apart is its impressive 96kHz XCVI FPGA processing engine, which ensures premium audio fidelity with ultra-low latency. This means you’ll experience crystal-clear sound with virtually no delay, perfect for in-ear monitor setups and live performances where timing is everything. Whether it's conferences, panel discussions, or large-scale musical events, the SQ-7 guarantees flawless audio transmission, offering both depth and precision in sound quality.

Built-In Processing for Superior Control

The SQ-7 comes fully equipped with all the processing tools you need to perfect your mix. Each of the 48 inputs features high-pass filtering (HPF), a fast-responding gate with a sidechain and filter, a 4-band parametric EQ, and a Peak/RMS compressor. This allows for detailed control over levels and dynamics, ensuring your sound is both balanced and professional.

The mix outputs are just as versatile, with both a parametric EQ and a 28-band graphic EQ, as well as built-in compressors. The console's XCVI core allows each compressor to have its own parallel path, eliminating phase issues and ensuring your sound remains cohesive, no matter how many effects you apply.

Expandable and Flexible for Any Event

One of the best features of the Allen & Heath SQ-7 is its flexibility. The console’s SLink intelligent port allows you to expand the number of mic inputs up to 48 by adding compatible rack and stage box expanders like the AB168, AR2412, AR84, or DX168. This makes the SQ-7 a scalable solution, suitable for everything from small gigs to large-scale productions.

You can also link the SQ-7 directly to other Allen & Heath systems, such as another SQ console or even a dLive system, making it an excellent investment for professionals who need a versatile and expandable audio solution.

Advanced Effects and AMM for Seamless Sound Design

With 8 stereo FX engines and access to the legendary RackExtra FX library, the SQ-7 gives you everything you need to create immersive soundscapes. Whether you're using reverbs, delays, or modulators, each effect engine has its own dedicated stereo return, meaning you won’t use up any of your 48 input channels for effects. The console also offers advanced Automatic Mic Mixing (AMM), making it ideal for conferences and TV shows where multiple microphones are used simultaneously.

Intuitive Interface with a Customizable Workflow

Navigating the SQ-7 is a breeze, thanks to its high-resolution 7-inch capacitive touchscreen and tactile illuminated encoders. This design ensures intuitive control over all aspects of your mix, allowing you to drag and drop channels and customize your workspace with color coding and channel naming. The Chromatic channel metering system gives you real-time feedback with variable brightness and color, ensuring that you're always in control.

Perfect Pairing with ProX Flight Case for Ultimate Protection
