Allen and Heath SQ+ Series: zZounds Spotlight
It’s SQ. Plus More.
Allen & Heath's SQ series consoles earned their place as standard-bearers of compact digital mixers, thanks to their processing prowess, impeccable audio quality, low latency, and streamlined workflow.
With SQ+, Allen and Heath builds upon their legacy, with more DSP power to run RackUltra and RackExtra FX, plus DEEP Processing compatibility. The SQ5+, SQ6+, and SQ7+ all now feature larger, 9" capacitive touchscreens with a newly designed GUI to boot.
Learn more about how Allen & Heath's SQ+ Series mixers put more control at your fingertips than ever before in our Spotlight guide!

SQ5+ 48-Channel Digital Mixer
Don't be deceived: the SQ5+ is the smallest in the series, but like its older siblings, it's still a 48-channel mixer! Housed in a rackmountable small-footprint chassis and offering 16+1 XLR mic/line preamps, plus two pairs of stereo 1/4" TRS inputs and even a front-panel stereo 3.5mm jack, the SQ5+ is perfectly capable of running a live show (or even a festival, as seen in our video above!)
Like all mixers in the SQ+ family, the SQ5+ has had a GUI (graphical user interface) makeover in the form of a larger, 9" touchscreen with dark mode activated for easy readability in any situation.
- 14 line outputs
- 16+1 faders / 6 layers
- 8 assignable SoftKeys

- 16+1 onboard preamps (16 assignable input channels + 1 dedicated talkback)- 14 line outputs

SQ6+ 48-Channel Digital Mixer
A happy middle ground in the series, the SQ6+ features 24+1 XLR mic/line preamp inputs along with two pairs of TRS inputs and one 3.5mm aux input. It's a reliable partner for your night-in-night-out shows, but with the eight additional inputs, the SQ6+ should be ready for any unexpectedly large jobs, too.
Like all mixers in the SQ+ family, the SQ6+ has had a processing power boost from the past generation, and supports DEEP Processing effects with incredibly low latency, plus it plays host to Allen & Heath's RackUltra and RackExtra FX including CompStortion, Source Expander, and many more.

- 24+1 faders / 6 layers
- 16 assignable SoftKeys

SQ7+ 48-Channel Digital Mixer
Worthy of running a truly epic live show, the SQ7+ is the biggest, baddest mixer in the family. Offering 32+1 XLR mic/line inputs to work with alongside 18 total outputs, the SQ7+ turns grand musical visions into rich sonic realities.
Like all mixers in the SQ+ family, the SQ7+ has an updated carbon-on-graphite surface design with a revamped control layout from its predecessor for smoother workflows and faster setup time.
