Allen & Heath SQ-7

Core Performance Features

• 96 kHz XCVI FPGA Processing Engine: Powered by Allen & Heath's FPGA architecture, running full 96 kHz high-resolution audio processing across all 48 mixing channels with an ultra-low group latency of under 0.7 ms and absolute phase coherency.

• Integrated DEEP Processing Architecture: Directly embeds boutique compressor models, graphic EQs, and vintage preamp emulations natively inside input and output channels without consuming any of the 8 stereo RackFX slots or introducing latency.

• Flagship 33-Fader Control Surface: Features 33 smooth 100 mm motorized faders arranged across 6 customizable layers, providing one-to-one physical access to 32 input channels alongside a dedicated master fader.

• SoftRotaries with LCD Displays: Outfitted with 8 assignable rotary controls with dedicated LCD screens, alongside 16 assignable SoftKeys for customized hands-on adjustments to FX sends, aux levels, DCA pans, or mute groups.

• 7-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen: Centered around a bright 7-inch touchscreen paired with dedicated illuminated rotary encoders and chromatic channel meters for clear visibility and rapid navigation during live shows.

• Integrated Automatic Mic Mixing (AMM): Built-in AMM manages up to 2 x 24 channels or 1 x 48 channels natively, ideal for multi-mic panel discussions, theater, conferences, and broadcast panels.

• SQ-Drive & 32x32 USB Audio Interface: Direct multitrack recording and playback of up to 16 channels of 96 kHz audio straight to a USB hard drive via SQ-Drive, or direct 32x32 96 kHz DAW recording and virtual soundchecks via USB-B.

• SLink & Expansion Card Slot: Features an integrated 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 expansion port for optional Dante, Waves, MADI, or SLink cards.
