Allen & Heath SQ-6 with Dust Cover, Tablet Holder and SQ-Waves Expansion Card

General

Convenience, speed and flexibility, the SQ6 from Allen & Heath has it all. This digital mixer features 24 physical fader strips that you can stack, so you end up with 96 channels. You do have 48 physical input channels, but you can easily expand those thanks to the option of plugging a digital expansion card into the I/O port (Dante, Waves, etc.).Because the overview is of course easy to lose with so many inputs, you have a large seven-inch touchscreen on which you can bring up all kinds of settings, parameters and overviews. These in turn can be controlled with the twenty Softkeys and, of course, the pre-assigned buttons.

Ease of use

If there's anything high on the SQ6's list of priorities, it's ease of use. Despite its futuristic look that is incredibly sturdy, everything is designed so that you can start using it right away. But where it really comes into its own is with monitor and in-ear mixes. You have 12 stereo outputs that include not only a graphic but also a parametric equaliser, and thanks to the screen you can quickly switch back and forth. So you no longer have to rely on the unreliable monitor mixer at the side of the stage.

With this package, you also receive the original Allen & Heath dust cover for the SQ6, the iPad / notebook holder and an SQ Waves expansion card. Via Ethernet, this gains you 64 x 64 channels at 48 or 96 kHz for your Waves Soundgrit platform. This also makes your Waves plugins available on your SQ with extremely low latency.
