Rated 4.9 (95 reviews)
The Allen & Heath SQ7+ is the flagship of the new SQ+ range, built for engineers who need the ultimate in hands-on control. 33 motorised faders, 16 assignable SoftKeys and 8 SoftRotaries put your entire show within reach, backed by the same 96kHz XCVI core and four dLive-derived RackUltra FX engines that power every SQ+ model. 32 XLR mic/line preamps and 16 XLR outputs handle even the largest live or broadcast inputs without an external stage box.
