The Allen & Heath SQ7+ is the largest model in the SQ+ range, designed for users who want serious professional mixing power, maximum hands-on control and the most generous local I/O in the SQ+ family. It takes everything that made the original SQ7 so popular — fast workflow, excellent sound quality, flexible routing and a spacious control surface — and adds a larger 9-inch touchscreen, refined interface, expanded processing capability, RackUltra FX* and next-generation DEEP Add-On capability.

Built around Allen & Heath’s acclaimed 48-input, 96kHz XCVI core, the SQ7+ delivers low-latency digital mixing with the clarity, speed and flexibility required for demanding live sound applications. It is an excellent choice for larger churches, schools, theatres, live venues, AV installations, production companies, livestream systems and any setup where more faders, more local I/O and faster hands-on access make a real difference.

*Note: Rack Ultra FX engines are built-in, however the Ultra effects themselves are available as additional Add-Ons which must be purchased via the Allen & Heath shop online.

Key features:

• 48 input processing channels
• 96kHz XCVI core with ultra-low latency <0.7ms
• 33 motorised faders
• 32 local XLR mic/line inputs
• 16 local XLR outputs

• Expanded DEEP processing capability
• 16x customisable SoftKeys
• 8x customisable SoftRotaries
• 128x128 SLink port for Allen & Heath stageboxes and personal monitoring
• I/O expansion slot for optional Dante, MADI, Waves and SLink cards
• USB recording, playback and 32x32 USB audio interface
• 10 configurable users with permissions to restrict operator access

The Allen & Heath SQ7+ is particularly appealing because it gives you the most physical control and local connectivity in the SQ+ range, while still keeping the same core processing platform as the SQ5+ and SQ6+. With 32 local XLR inputs, 16 XLR outputs, 33 motorised faders, 16 SoftKeys and 8 SoftRotaries, it gives engineers and operators a spacious, efficient surface for managing larger channel counts, monitor mixes, effects, scenes and system functions.

We have always loved the SQ7 because it offers a powerful balance of professional capability, workflow and hands-on control. The SQ7+ keeps that same familiar feel, but the larger screen, sharper look and added processing capability make it feel faster, clearer and more capable. For larger churches, theatres, venues, schools, production companies and AV systems that need maximum control within the Allen & Heath SQ+ platform, the SQ7+ is the flagship choice.
