With expanded processing power, upgraded effects, and a dramatically refined mixing experience, the SQ+ Series sails the venerable SQ platform into flagship territory.
Designed to give you maximum hands-on control over complex productions, the SQ7+ saunters into the venue as the most formidable member of the SQ+ family. With 33 motorised faders, 16 assignable SoftKeys, and 8 SoftRotaries, critical functions are immediately reachable, and the 96kHz XCVI processing core and 4 integrated RackUltra FX engines deliver the same powerful performance that defines the SQ+ series.
Built around the ultra-low-latency 96kHz XCVI FPGA core, SQ+ delivers exceptional audio quality with responsive performance suited for touring, installed sound, houses of worship, broadcast, and livestream production. A redesigned 9-inch touchscreen with a dark-mode interface improves visibility in those less-than-perfect environments. Plus, illuminated encoders, drag-and-drop channel assignment, customizable layouts, and Chromatic metering take you from soundcheck to showtime in no time. Every channel includes comprehensive processing with HPF, gate, parametric EQ, compressor, inserts, and RTA support, giving you the tools to build the mix you want without racks of gear, endless patching, and constant troubleshooting.
SQ+ also expands your creative possibilities with a powerful combination of RackExtra and RackUltra FX engines, adding premium reverbs, delays, modulation, vocal processing, saturation, and pitch tools to the mix alongside the per-channel processing. Integrated DEEP Processing places modeled analog-style processing into every channel and mix path with zero added latency. And since it sounds so good, you'll want to record it. The engineers at A&H knew this, so they included flexible recording options to support multitrack capture, livestreaming, virtual soundcheck, and DAW control through built-in USB connectivity and SQ-Drive direct recording.
Extensive networking and expansion options, including Dante, Waves, MADI, and SLink connectivity, allow SQ+ to scale easily into complex audio systems, FOH and monitor splits, and broadcast applications. Housed in a rugged all-metal chassis with a ruggedly elegant carbon-on-graphite finish, the SQ+ Series handles the realities of live production and delivers the speed, flexibility, and sonic precision you expect from Allen & Heath.
