Flagship processing for large-scale productions
The SQ7+ includes four dedicated RackUltra FX engines, bringing advanced processing inspired by Allen & Heath’s flagship touring systems into a compact live console format. Premium reverbs, harmonisers, vocal tuning, saturation, distortion, and pitch processing are available directly inside the desk, reducing the need for additional outboard gear or plugins. Alongside this, eight RackExtra FX engines allow multiple delays, reverbs, and modulation effects to run simultaneously across complex productions. Dedicated stereo sends and returns keep routing organised and flexible, helping engineers manage demanding front-of-house, monitor, theatre, and broadcast mixes with greater efficiency and creative control.
Extensive hands-on workflow control
The SQ7+ is designed for engineers who prefer maximum physical control during fast-paced productions. Thirty-three motorised faders provide immediate access across larger channel counts, while 16 assignable SoftKeys and eight SoftRotaries allow quick adjustment of routing, scenes, monitor sends, and processing parameters. The larger 9-inch capacitive touchscreen and redesigned dark GUI improve readability in darker venues and control rooms, helping engineers navigate more quickly under pressure. Drag-and-drop channel assignment, Chromatic metering, and illuminated controls also contribute to a more streamlined workflow, making the SQ7+ feel fast, responsive, and easy to operate across demanding live environments.
Flexible routing for AV and broadcast
The SQ7+ is built to handle complex routing requirements across live sound, conferencing, streaming, and installed AV systems. Six mono or linkable matrix mixes provide flexible routing for broadcast feeds, multi-room audio, delay systems, and zone-based installations. Advanced automatic mic mixing further strengthens its capabilities for speech-focused environments. Two independent 24-channel AMMs can run simultaneously, or combine into a single 48-channel AMM for larger conferences, panel discussions, council chambers, and education spaces. Combined with low-latency operation and comprehensive channel processing, the SQ7+ adapts easily between front-of-house mixing, monitors, livestreaming, and corporate production environments.
Designed for scalable modern systems
The SQ7+ integrates cleanly into larger professional audio systems thanks to its Intelligent SLink connectivity and extensive expansion options. The 128x128 SLink port connects directly to Allen & Heath stage boxes, personal monitoring systems, and compatible consoles, allowing systems to expand as production requirements evolve. An onboard expansion slot supports Dante, Waves, MADI, and additional SLink cards for integration into advanced networked audio environments. USB recording and playback also support hybrid production workflows, with direct multitrack recording to USB drives and a built-in 32x32 USB audio interface for recording, streaming, and virtual soundcheck applications.
Expand Your SQ+ System
The Allen & Heath SQ+ range supports a variety of expansion cards, helping you tailor your mixer for recording, broadcast, installed audio, and larger digital audio networks. You can add Dante integration, additional stagebox connectivity, Waves processing, or MADI support depending on your setup requirements.
Each card installs directly into the SQ+ option slot, making it straightforward to adapt your mixer for different live, studio, broadcast, and installed audio environments.
Please Note: Expansion cards are sold separately.
