Allen & Heath SQ-6

Core Performance Features

• 96 kHz XCVI FPGA Processing Engine: Powered by Allen & Heath's FPGA architecture, delivering studio-grade 96 kHz high-resolution audio across all 48 channels with ultra-low latency under 0.7 ms and class-leading phase coherency.

• Integrated DEEP Processing Architecture: Directly embeds boutique compressor models, vintage graphic/parametric EQs, and preamp emulations natively inside input and output channels without adding latency or taking up any of the console's 8 stereo RackFX slots.

• Expanded 25-Fader Control Surface: Equipped with 25 smooth 100 mm motorized faders arranged across 6 fully customizable layers, providing fast hands-on access to 24 input channels plus a dedicated master fader.

• SoftRotaries with LCD Displays: Features 4 assignable physical rotary controls with their own dedicated LCD screens, alongside 16 assignable SoftKeys for instant, customized control over critical parameters such as aux sends, FX depth, or mute groups.

• 7-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen: Centered around an intuitive 7-inch touchscreen paired with dedicated illuminating rotary encoders and high-visibility chromatic channel meters for fast, visual navigation during live shows.

• Integrated Automatic Mic Mixing (AMM): Built-in AMM handles up to 2 x 24 channels or 1 x 48 channels natively, making it a reliable solution for panel discussions, conferences, theatrical dialogue, and multi-mic corporate events.

• SQ-Drive & 32x32 USB Audio Interface: Directly records and plays back up to 16 channels of multitrack 96 kHz audio straight to a USB hard drive via SQ-Drive, or connects to a computer via the built-in 32x32 96 kHz USB audio interface for DAW multitracking and virtual soundchecks.

• SLink & Expansion Port: Features a locking EtherCON SLink port for plug-and-play connection to 96 kHz and 48 kHz remote stage boxes (DX168, GX4816, AR2412, AB168) and ME Personal Mixing systems, plus an I/O card slot for optional Dante, Waves, or SLink networking cards.
