At its heart, SQ+ packs the same 48-input, low-latency 96kHz XCVI core that underpins the SQ range, but now with significantly more processing headroom for studio-grade effects and the latest generation of DEEP Add-Ons.
The headline addition is four RackUltra FX engines, each with dedicated stereo sends and returns. Developed for the flagship dLive system, RackUltra FX delivers a suite of effects including reverbs, vocal tuning, pitch processors, amp modelling, and saturation. All four engines come as standard on every SQ+ model, with Add-Ons available from the Allen & Heath shop.
The increased processing power enables the next generation of DEEP Add-Ons - CompStortion, Source Expander, and Dual Threshold Expander – previously only available on dLive and Avantis. At launch, new SQ+ owners can claim the PlusPack - the full suite of DEEP and standard FX Add-Ons in a single bundle - simply by registering their mixer and signing up to the Allen & Heath newsletter.
The user interface is built around a larger 9-inch touchscreen and a new dark GUI for improved clarity in all mixing environments. All models retain SQ’s full connectivity suite: a 128x128 Intelligent SLink port, a dedicated I/O expansion slot supporting Dante, MADI, Waves and SLink cards, dual USB ports for multitrack recording and computer interfacing, and remote control via free apps for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.
