After extensive research and development, Allen & Heath presents the SQ-7 48-Channel / 36-Bus Digital Mixer, the flagship console in the SQ series. This advanced digital mixer is powered by the revolutionary 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine, designed to deliver exceptional high-resolution audio quality and ultra-low latency.
Ideal for demanding scenarios such as AV, corporate events, live productions, and houses of worship, the SQ-7 offers pristine audio quality and precision control. The mixer's DEEP processing architecture allows users to select boutique compressor and preamp emulations to suit their style and needs. These DEEP plugins can be embedded directly within the mixer's inputs and mix channels, eliminating system latency or setup hassles.
The SQ-7 stands out as the ultimate IEM mixer, offering 12 stereo mixes, super-low latency, and both parametric and graphic EQ on every mix. Its compact and rugged build quality makes it a reliable companion for in-ear monitoring setups.
As the largest model in the SQ series, the SQ-7 boasts the highest number of onboard preamps and built-in output sockets. It features 32 pristine XLR mic or line inputs, a talkback input, and 3 stereo line inputs. The mixer's 16 XLR, 2 TRS jack, and stereo AES digital outputs can be freely and individually patched, providing unparalleled flexibility.
The SQ-7's SLink intelligent port allows for expansion up to a total of 48 mic inputs, making it a versatile solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems. The mixer is also compatible with leading audio networking standards, allowing for seamless integration with installed systems and digital FoH / Monitor splits.
The integrated SQ-Drive facilitates quick and easy capture of a 96kHz multitrack or stereo recording of the show directly to a USB key or drive. The mixer also features a built-in 32x32 96kHz audio interface for multitrack recording, backing tracks, or virtual soundcheck applications.
The SQ-7's advanced automatic mic mixers (AMM's) make it an excellent choice for mixing conferences, panel talks, and TV shows. The mixer's design and build quality reflect Allen & Heath's commitment to durability and reliability, with a 3-tier, all-metal chassis and an extruded aluminum light bar.
The SQ-7 offers a customizable mixing experience, with options that allow you to design your own workflows. The mixer features assignable 16 SoftKeys and 8 Soft Rotaries with LCD displays, patented Chromatic Channel Metering system, and a 'channel to all' mix button for instant access to all send levels and assignments for the selected channel.
The SQ-7 is also compatible with the ME Personal Mixing System, allowing performers to control their own monitor mixes. The mixer is part of a growing ecosystem of apps, expanders, audio networking, personal mixers, and more, offering the flexibility to connect, adapt, and expand as needed.
In conclusion, the SQ-7 48-Channel / 36-Bus Digital Mixer is a state-of-the-art, professional-grade audio equipment that offers high-quality sound, sophisticated features, and unparalleled flexibility, making it a top choice for live sound and music production.
