It is the mid-size frame of the SQ+ range, giving engineers more faders and local I\/O for live sound, houses of worship and installed AV systems without moving up to a large-format console.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Allen \u0026amp; Heath SQ6+ work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SQ6+ runs on Allen \u0026amp; Heath's 96kHz XCVI FPGA core, mixing 48 input channels to 44 busses with latency under 0.7 ms: 12 aux\/group mixes plus main LR, 6 linkable matrix mixes and dedicated FX sends. Every input has HPF, gate\/expander with sidechain, a patchable insert, 4-band parametric EQ with RTA, a peak\/RMS compressor and delay, while mixes add GEQ, PEQ, compression and delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight RackExtra FX engines run alongside four RackUltra FX engines with dedicated stereo sends and returns. The RackUltra FX library, developed for dLive, includes premium reverbs, vocal tuning and pitch tools, harmonisers, saturation and amp modelling. DEEP processing models embed classic compressor, preamp and EQ emulations inside channel strips with no latency penalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 24 onboard XLR preamps match the 24+1 fader layout for a simple one-to-one setup, and 16 line outputs feed PA, monitors and recording. A 128x128 SLink port connects Allen \u0026amp; Heath expanders and ME personal monitoring, the I\/O port takes Dante, MADI or Waves cards, and USB provides multitrack recording and a 32x32 audio interface. Two 24-channel automatic mic mixers make the SQ6+ a strong choice for conferences and panel events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Allen \u0026amp; Heath SQ6+?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96kHz XCVI core\u003c\/strong\u003e — 48 input channels to 44 busses with sub-0.7 ms latency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour RackUltra FX engines\u003c\/strong\u003e — Flagship reverbs, vocal and pitch processing with dedicated sends and returns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25 motorised faders\u003c\/strong\u003e — Six layers plus 16 SoftKeys and 4 SoftRotaries for direct control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24 onboard preamps\u003c\/strong\u003e — Recallable XLR mic\/line inputs with up to +60 dB gain and 48V phantom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDEEP processing ready\u003c\/strong\u003e — Embedded analogue-modelled dynamics and EQ on every channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic mic mixing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two 24-channel or one 48-channel AMM for spoken word.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e — 128x128 SLink and an I\/O port for Dante, MADI or Waves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB recording\u003c\/strong\u003e — Multitrack to USB drive and a 32x32 USB-B interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Free apps for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, plus SQ+ 4You for up to 8 performers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Allen \u0026amp;
