96kHz XCVI Core
SQ is a future-proofed, next-generation
console, powered by Allen & Heath’s 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine. XCVI
delivers class-leading high resolution audio quality, ultra-low latency
of <0.7ms, variable bit depth for ultimate precision and noise
performance, mix coherency down to the sample, and the sheer power to
handle high channel / mix counts and ample FX / processing.
DEEP processing ready
SQ’s
DEEP processing architecture allows owners to hand-pick boutique
compressor and preamp emulations to suit their style and needs. DEEP
plugins can be embedded directly within the mixer’s inputs and mix
channels, all without adding system latency or setup hassles.
The Ultimate IEM Mixer
With
no less than 12 stereo mixes and super-low latency, and both parametric
and graphic EQ on every mix, SQ is the perfect companion for in-ear
monitoring setups. SQ’s airline-friendly compactness and rugged build
quality mean there’s no reason to gamble on house monitor consoles
again.
Expandable up to 48 mics
SQ-6
has all the onboard I/O you need for standalone operation. Thanks to its
SLink intelligent port, SQ can also be expanded up to a total of 48 mic
inputs via a family of 96kHz and 48kHz rack and stage box expanders
(e.g. AB168, AR2412, AR84 and DX168), making it a flexible, mix ‘n’
match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems.
You can also link your SQ directly to another SQ or even a dLive system.
Dante, Waves and more
SQ
is the centrepiece of a growing ecosystem of apps, expanders, audio
networking, personal mixers and more, allowing you to connect, adapt and
expand to your heart’s content. It’s compatible with leading audio
networking standards too - add an audio networking card such as Dante or
Waves to SQ’s I/O port and you’re ready to integrate with installed
systems, provide a digital FoH / Monitor split and more.
Flexible multitrack recording
The
integrated SQ-Drive makes it quick and easy to capture a 96kHz
multitrack or stereo recording of the show direct to a USB key or drive.
No software setup, no soundcard driver issues and no extra laptop to
bring to the performance. SQ-Drive is also a smart way to manage walk-in
music.
Also provided is a built-in 32x32 96kHz audio
interface for multitrack recording, backing tracks or virtual soundcheck
applications. The interface is Core Audio and ASIO compliant and comes
complete with MIDI and DAW control capabilities.
Advanced AMM*
SQ’s
advanced automatic mic mixer (AMM) features make it ideally suited to
mixing conferences, panel talks and TV shows. It’s fully integrated in
the mixer too, with no extra latency, so you don’t need to route the
audio to an internal DSP rack or an external plugin system.
Designed for the pro
We
know that the live environment can be tough on gear – that’s why we
devised our most punishing regime of testing and retesting yet for SQ.
From its 3-tier, all metal chassis to its extruded aluminium light bar,
SQ has tremendous strength and rigidity underlying its good looks.
The Mixing Experience
With
each new design, the Allen & Heath team strives to get closer to
the ultimate mixing experience. SQ’s dashboard is centred around a
high-res 7” capacitive touchscreen, framed by an array of high-grip,
illuminating encoders to create an intuitive, integrated blend of clear
visual feedback and immediate, hands-on control. Channels and mixes can
be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour
coding on the colour strip displays, allowing you to build a mixing
environment that mirrors your own workflow. Each strip features our
patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level
indication thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour. SQ-6
also offers 16 Softkeys and 4 Soft Rotaries with displays that can be
assigned to the functions you want at your fingertips, and a ‘channel to
all’ mix button to instantly access all sends from the selected
channel.
RackExtra FX
Allen &
Heath has a well-earned reputation for crafting FX emulations that rival
the very best plug-ins, but with none of the associated hassle. SQ is
armed with 8 stereo FX engines and features the acclaimed RackExtra
library of emulations of legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs,
delays, modulators and more. All FX have dedicated stereo returns so you
don’t need to waste input channels.
ME Personal Mixing System
SQ
is fully compatible with the ME Personal Mixing System, allowing the
performers to take control of their own monitor mixes. Any number of
ME-1 and ME-500 personal mixers can be daisy-chained from the mixer’s
SLink port, or from a connected remote expander.
