Allen & Heath AH-SQ-6 Channel/36-Bus Digital Mixer

The SQ-6 is a cutting-edge digital mixer that uses the ground-breaking XCVI 96kHz FPGA engine from Allen & Heath. SQ-6 boasts class-leading high-resolution audio fidelity and ultra-low latency of 0.7ms, making it ideal for demanding situations including AV, corporate events, live productions, and places of worship. The console includes 8 stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels, 24 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.
