The Qu-series Digital Mixer is a perfect entry-level mixer, and an ideal option for anyone looking to transition from analog mixing to digital. This is a great option for your home studio, small houses of worship, coffee shops, or small restaurants. In the video we are using a Qu-16 digital mixer, mounted inside of a portable rack from SKB. It can also be mounted into an installed rack. The Qu-series is a great transition from analog to digital mixing because it features tactile knobs and faders, providing that analog feel while still being able to use digital features like dynamics and effects.

The SQ-series is the next step up from the Qu-series. It has many of the same features and capabilities of the top-tier products from Allen & Heath, but in a smaller and more cost-effective package. The SQ-7 is featured in the video, and there are also SQ-5 and SQ-6 models available. While the number of faders changes with each model, the inputs all stay the same with 48-input channels and 32-buses. The SQ-series includes the FPGA processing found in Allen & Heath’s flagship dLive console. FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array, which means you can get sub-millisecond latency during your live shows. The SQ-series is also a great option for your studio as it can control your DAW, which stands for Digital Audio Workstation, and also acts as a USB interface.

Next up is the Avantis. When you first look at the Avantis you’ll notice the two large touch screens which feature the Continuity UI. And while it looks like the Avantis seen in the video has been put into a protective case, that’s actually how the Avantis comes from Allen & Heath. The exterior is a full-metal chassis with a rugged exoskeleton for extreme durability.

That brings us to Allen & Heath’s flagship series, the dLive digital mixing system. Featured in the video is the dLive S5000 Surface and a dLive DM64 MixRack. While the surface is the typical console you are used to seeing with a mixer, it’s completely optional with the dLive series. The MixRack actually is the brains of the system, with everything you need to control the show. The Surface just makes it easier to access those controls while also providing additional I/O. dLive systems are split into two different categories: S-class and C-class. The S-class is for larger applications while the C-class is typically smaller and more affordable. But, they still work with each other. So you can use a C-class rack with an S-class surface, and vice-versa!
And no matter which console you choose, Allen & Heath has a variety of I/O expansion options for you to choose from, including portable stage boxes and installed wall mounts. To find the expansion option that’s right for you, there’s the Everything I/O tool available on the Allen & Heath website.

If we connect AR2412 to the SQ6 mixer can we use the local input 1 to 24 and output 1-14 along with stagebox..??
Hello, Sudarshan. Thank you for your question. Yes, you can connect the dSnake port of the AR2412 to the SLink port on the SQ-6, and the Local I/O ports can be used simultaneously with the stagebox I/O ports.
You have said it All about the Allen&Heath Digital Console... We need to Upgrade to This New world of mixing in our church. We are currently using Analog Behringer XENYX XL3200 which is a premium 32 in-puts 4-bus live mixer........ I've admired the Sq Allen&heath 48 channels 32 buses... Please Advise
Hi! Where are you located? We can try to put you in touch with an Allen & Heath representative who can advise you on your unique situation.
What do you recommend for Live music band betw sQ6 and midas m32?
Hi and thanks for your question! My vote is for the SQ6. With 48 mixing channels, plenty of FX, and a very flexible channel strip assignment, not to mention the ability to integrate with all kinds of IO boxes, it’s a great option for live bands.
PUEDO UTILIZAR LA POWER PLAY 16 CON LA SQ7 ?
Gracias por su pregunta. No se puede conectar un mezclador Power Play a una consola SQ directamente, pero si tiene un módulo de entrada P16-I, puede conectar canales analógicos de la SQ7 al sistema Power Play. Si no tiene el P16-I, le recomiendo usar el mezclador personal ME-1 o ME-500 de Allen & Heath.

Whats the main diffrence between the QU and SQ series? Bless
Hello, and thanks for your question. There are quite a few differences, the most basic being channel count. The Qu Series are entry level digital mixers that are great for making the switch from analog to digital, and they have channel counts ranging from 18 inputs up to 38 inputs depending on the specific model. SQ series mixers are all capable of processing 48 input channels regardless of the model. SQ series is also a little better suited for professional applications with its ultra high quality 96kHz sample rate - same as the dLive and Avantis. I/O expandability is also a big one - while the Qu series has a couple of options for stage boxes in the AR and AB lines, the SQ series can interface with nearly every Allen & Heath stage box and expander and can also interface with third party audio networks such as Dante and MADI through the use of optional cards.

Does SQ sounds better than QU? And does it have better halls, plates for vocals?
There are a number of improvements in the SQ over the Qu class of mixers that will affect the sound including higher quality preamps and a 96kHz sample rate versus 48kHz on the Qu series. The Qu and SQ series share many of the same FX processors such as SMR reverb, stereo delay, ADT doubler, chorus, flanger, and phaser. Where the SQ really shines is the ability to purchase upgraded dynamic effects such as Dynamic EQ, Multiband Compression, de-essers, models of vintage compressors, and tube stage preamp models.
