The Allen & Heath SQ6+ sits in the middle of the new SQ+ range, balancing portability with serious hands-on control. 25 motorised faders, 16 assignable SoftKeys and 4 SoftRotaries put the entire show within easy reach, while the 96kHz XCVI core, 4 dLive-derived RackUltra FX engines and 24 XLR mic/line preamps deliver flagship-tier processing without the flagship footprint.

RackUltra FX & DEEP Processing
Four RackUltra FX engines — first developed for the dLive flagship and proven on international tours — deliver premium reverbs, vocal tuning, pitch processors, distortion and saturation directly on the SQ6+. DEEP Processing add-ons embed models of classic analogue hardware into every channel and mix strip with zero added latency.
