Allen & Heath SQ+ Mixers
It’s SQ. Plus More
48 channel, 96kHz digital mixers for live sound, AV and installation.
SQ. Plus More. Everything that made SQ the standard in compact mixing – the 96kHz XCVI core, ultra-low latency, class-leading audio quality, RackExtra FX, and DEEP Processing – now with flagship-tier RackUltra FX, more power per channel, and a transformed interface.
Mixing Has Never Been Easier
A Bigger, Bolder Interface
SQ+ is centred around a responsive 9” touchscreen with an all-new dark GUI that is fast to navigate and easy to read in any mixing environment. Framed by high-grip illuminated encoders, it delivers an intuitive blend of visual feedback and hands-on control
Drag-and-Drop Layout
Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the displays, letting you build a mixing environment that works for you.
At-a-Glance Metering
Each strip features our patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication down to -72dB thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.

World Class Processing & FX
Processing
All the Tools for the Perfect Mix
Every input channel comes equipped with HPF, a super-fast gate with sidechain and filter, a freely assignable insert point, a musical 4-band parametric equaliser with RTA, and Peak/RMS compressor for control and shaping of levels and transients. Mixes include both a parametric and 28 band graphic EQ along with compressor as standard, all ready to switch in when required.
DEEP Processing
Latency Free Emulations
Every input channel comes equipped with HPF, a super-fast gate with sidechain and filter, a freely assignaSQ+ supports the latest generation of DEEP processing add-ons – models of classic analogue hardware embedded directly into your channel and mix strips, adding no latency, and available on every channel simultaneously.
Effects
Two FX Suites. Twelve FX Engines
SQ+ is equipped with 8 RackExtra FX engines, each with its own dedicated stereo return, giving you access to the acclaimed RackExtra FX suite, featuring emulations of legendary reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators and more.
Four built-in RackUltra FX engines take SQ+ further, each with dedicated stereo sends and returns. First developed for the flagship dLive system, and proven on international tours, the RackUltra FX suite of add-ons brings premium reverbs, vocal tuning and pitch processors, distortion, saturation, and more to SQ+. The 4 engines can also run RackExtra FX for maximum flexibility.

SQ+ 4You
AMM
Automatic Mic Mixing
SQ+’s advanced Automatic Mic Mixers make it a natural choice for mixing conferences, panel discussions, and broadcast applications. Two independent 24 channel AMM’s can run simultaneously for two separate zones or combine into a single 48 channel AMM for larger events.
Built for the Real World
The live environment is unforgiving, so SQ+ is built to take it.
A robust all-metal chassis provides the strength and rigidity to handle the rigours of touring and installation alike, while the new carbon-on-graphite finish with black and white knobs and fader caps gives it a sharp, contemporary look that holds up under real-world use. Every SQ+ comes backed by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty as standard.
