Allen & Heath SQ-7 Digital Mixer

Allen & Heath SQ-7 Digital Mixer
Product no: 9000-0044-5852 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Allen & Heath's SQ-7 is the largest digital mixer in the SQ series. It has 32 physical fader strips with 6 layers (for a total of 192), a 7-inch touchscreen that provides a clear overview, 32 XLR connectors and virtually endless expansion options thanks to the SLink and input and output ports for Dante, Waves and more! There are also 24 soft keys to adjust the parameters of various channels and settings can be edited via your tablet or smartphone using the SQ MixPad and SQ4You apps.

Plenty of Options

The SQ-7 can be used for demanding applications including live productions, AV, corporate events and any live-mixing situation you would ever want to throw at it. The automatic microphone mixers deliver instant clarity of sound for any application. The XCVI FPGA Core enables you to assign DEEP plugins to any of the inputs so you can use an effect that the mixer doesn't have a control for. The SQ-7 is great for working with in-ear monitoring systems as you can make up to 12 different stereo mixes with a parametric and graphic equalizer per mix so that everyone on stage has the perfect sound. If that's not quite enough, you can record 32 x 32 channels via the USB input.
