Allen & Heath SQ-6 — 48-Channel Digital Mixing Console
About this product
Everything that makes the SQ-5 exceptional, packaged in a larger control surface with more faders. For engineers running complex live productions who need fast, hands-on mix control without paging through layers, the SQ-6 is the console to hire.
25 motorised faders across the same 48-channel, 96kHz XCVI processing architecture as the SQ-5 — with 24 local XLR mic/line inputs on the surface. More faders means more channels accessible simultaneously, a genuine workflow advantage on busy live productions. Identical processing to the SQ-5: full dynamics and EQ per channel, DEEP plugin support, 4 stereo FX processors, and full dSNAKE stagebox expansion. iPad mix management supported via Allen & Heath's MixPad app.
