Allen & Heath AH-SQ-7 48 channel / 36 bus digital mixer

The innovative 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine from Allen & Heath powers the 33-fader flagship SQ-7 console. SQ-7 provides crystal-clear high-resolution audio quality and incredibly low latency of just 0.7ms, making it ideal for demanding situations like AV, corporate events, live productions, and places of worship. The console includes 8 stereo FX engines with dedicated stereo return channels, 32 excellent onboard mic preamps, and access to the acclaimed RackExtra FX library. With 12 stereo mixes (adjustable as groups or auxes) and Automatic Mic Mixing, SQ is an obvious choice for in-ear monitor installations. It is also a great option for conferences, panel discussions, and other events.
