Revolutionary FPGA Engine Provides Pristine Sound

The SQ-7 is driven by Allen & Heath’s 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine, which delivers high-resolution audio quality, latency of less than 0.7ms and optimized dynamic range. The XCVI engine powers the SQ-7 to handle high channel counts at 96kHz with massive mix headroom, thanks to a 96bit accumulator. Embedded DEEP plugins on all 48 inputs and mixes provide boutique compressor and preamp emulations without added latency or setup hassles.

12 Stereo Mixes for Powerful IEM Control

With 12 stereo mixes and both parametric and graphic EQ on each mix, the SQ-7 is an ideal in-ear monitor mixer. The SQ-7’s compact, rugged build makes it suitable for touring, providing flexibility and reliability over unpredictable house monitor systems.
