Allen & Heath SQ6+ 48-Channel / 36-Bus Digital Mixer Console
Tax included.
Precision Mixing Performance, Evolved
The Allen & Heath SQ6+ is a 48-channel digital powerhouse designed for engineers who demand more than just a high channel count. Built on the legendary 96kHz XCVI FPGA core, it is the ultimate solution for touring professionals, house of worship technicians, and medium-sized venues that require uncompromising audio transparency and rapid, intuitive control. Whether you are managing complex monitor mixes or a high-stakes front-of-house production, the SQ6+ provides the headroom and processing depth to deliver studio-quality results in any live environment.
Unrivalled DSP Power and Analog Character
The SQ6+ leverages expanded DSP headroom to bring Allen & Heath’s acclaimed DEEP processing directly to your channel strips. Unlike standard mixers that rely on latency-heavy plugins, the SQ6+ allows you to run boutique compressor emulations, such as the PeakLimiter76 or Compstortion, and advanced noise gates on every channel with zero added latency. This ensures your mix maintains incredible warmth and character while preserving the natural transients of your source material.
Redesigned Interface for Effortless Workflow
At the heart of the SQ6+ is a massive 9-inch capacitive touchscreen, offering a significantly enhanced viewing experience and smoother gesture control than its predecessor. Combined with the new "Dark" GUI and chromatic channel metering, you get instant, high-contrast visual feedback that remains clear even under the most demanding stage lighting. This interface is built for speed, allowing you to navigate routing, patching, and processing without breaking your creative flow.
Studio-Grade Effects Anywhere
With 12 simultaneously running FX engines, including the new RackUltra suite, the SQ6+ transforms your live environment into a world-class production suite. From the lush, physical modeling of Spaces reverbs to real-time vocal pitch correction and automatic key-detecting harmonizers, you have professional-grade tools at your fingertips to craft a polished, radio-ready sound without the need for external outboard racks.
