Allen & heath SQ-7
Sq-7 is a 32-input digital console from Allen & heath.
With the revolutionary 96 kHz FPGA XCVI FPGA engine developed by Allen & Heath for its high-end dLive systems, the latest generation SQ digital consoles have been developed to excel in the most complex situations.
Enjoying high-resolution 96 kHz sound on 48 inputs and 36 outputs, while offering ultra-low latency below 0.7 ms, making it a perfect console for broadcast or audio-visual applications.
Equipped with an I / O port capable of hosting DANTE or WAVES cards and inter-compatible with dLive systems, the SQ inherits the famous DEEP plugins from the dLive, the RackExtra effects library and 8 stereo effects engines. stereo with dedicated returns.
the SQs can also be expanded up to 48 microphone inputs in total, via the family of digital stage enclosures and 48 kHz (AR2412, AR84 & AB168) and 96 kHz (DX168) expanders, allowing it to offer a flexible and combinable solution for users of other Allen & Heath digital systems.
The DEEP plugin processing architecture allows users to precisely select shop compressors and preamp emulations based on their style and needs. DEEP plugins can be integrated directly into the input and mix channels of the console, without adding latency or configuration issues.
The SQ's dashboard is centered around a 7 "high-resolution capacitive touch screen, flanked by a set of high-adhesion, illuminated rotates to create a combination of visual feedback and intuitive, integrated manual controls.
Each slice has a chromatic bar graph giving an indication of the level at a glance, thanks to the LEDs with variable brightness and color. The SQs also offer user keys (8 for SQ-5/16 + 4 rotary with dedicated LCD screens for SQ-6) that can be assigned key functions at hand, as well as a Mix button "Channel to all "allowing instant access to all departures of a selected channel.
Allen & Heath has a well established reputation for creating emulations of effects that compete with the best plugins, without the hassles associated with them.
