Allen & Heath SQ6+ 48-Channel 25-Fader Digital Mixer with RackUltra FX

More faders, more SoftKeys and four SoftRotaries: the SQ6+ is the middle frame of the SQ+ range, striking a balance between hands-on control and portability. Its 25 motorized faders and 16 assignable SoftKeys give engineers more physical access when working with larger, more complex shows, all driven by the 96kHz XCVI core with latency under 0.7ms.

A 9-inch touchscreen with a dark, fast-to-navigate GUI is framed by high-grip illuminated encoders, and channels or mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip with custom names and colors. Each strip carries chromatic channel metering for at-a-glance level indication. Four built-in RackUltra FX engines, each with dedicated stereo sends and returns, join 8 RackExtra FX engines, and DEEP processing add-ons run directly in the channel and mix strips with no added latency.

The rear panel provides 24 XLR mic/line inputs and 14 XLR outputs, with a 128x128 SLink port for Everything I/O stage boxes and an expansion slot for Dante, MADI, Waves or extra SLink cards. Multitrack recording, playback, livestreaming and virtual soundcheck are handled by the 32x32 USB audio interface or by SQ-Drive direct to a USB drive, and dual 24 channel Automatic Mic Mixers suit conferences and broadcast work.
