The Allen & Heath SQ-6 is a 48-channel, 36-bus digital mixing console well suited for live sound, corporate A/V, recording studios, and houses of worship. The SQ-6 features 24+1 motorized faders and 24 professional-quality microphone preamps. There are also eight stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels and access to the RackExtra FX library. The mixer's 12 stereo outputs (configurable as groups or auxes) are well suited for in-ear-monitor setups, while the Auto Mic Mixing function offers quick and easy operation over multiple microphones for conferences, panel talks, and more.

At the heart of the SQ-6 lies the 96 kHz XCVI Core FPGA engine, which delivers professional, high-resolution audio quality, ultra-low latency (less than 0.7 ms), variable bit depth for precision and noise performance, mix coherency down to the sample, and the power to handle high channel / mix counts and ample FX processing. The SQ's DEEP processing architecture allows you to hand-pick boutique compressor and preamp emulations and embed them directly within the mixer's inputs and mix channels, all without adding system latency or setup hassles.

The front panel is centered around the mixer's 7" capacitive touchscreen and framed by an array of high-grip, illuminated encoders, which offer clear visual feedback and quick, hands-on control. You can drag-and-drop channels and mixes to any strip with custom naming and color coding on the strip display, allowing you to build a mix environment that mirrors your workflow. The SQ-6 offers softkeys, which can be freely assigned to any function for a customized and advanced workflow. The on-board recorder uses a USB Type-A port to record stereo and multitrack sessions to a flash drive. The recorder can also playback stereo and multitrack files, making it well suited for virtual sound checks and studio mixing.

The SQ-6 offers expansion options via Allen & Heath's stage box expanders, or install an optional Dante or Waves card to adapt and expand using the latest digital technologies. SQ is fully compatible with the ME Personal Mixing System, allowing performers to take control of their own monitor mixes. Any number of ME-1 and ME-500 personal mixers can be daisy-chained from the mixer's SLink port, or from a connected remote expander. The Allen & Heath SQ-6 ships with a power cord.

Does it record individual track per channel on DAW or any recording software? Do I need a speaker amplifier or it has already a built in amplifier?

A: The Allen & Heath Qu-16C is a 16-channel digital mixer and USB audio interface designed for live and installed sound, as well as studio use. The built-in USB audio interface is compatible with Apple and Windows computers, and will allow you to record individual tracks in a multi-track DAW. The QU-16C does not ship with software, but can be used with most popular DAW software in the market. Currently, DAW templates are available on the Allen & Heath website for users of Cubase, Logic X, and Pro Tools. Digital mixers in general do not provide power for speakers. Therefore, the QU-16C needs to be integrated with a passive or active speaker solution for sound reinforcement.

[24] This case is VERY WELL MADE, and is a PERFECT FIT for our A&H Qu-24 console. I would Highly recommend this case for anyone with a Qu-24 without hesitation. The price was great, and shipping was LIGHTNING FAST. Thank You Folks at B&H AGAIN ! ! ! 5

[24] The qualities that I like about this case: -the top cover only goes in one way as the latches are oriented to know which way the board is front and back -you can remove the rubber foots via screw-driver if you like -the casters are nice and wide so that the bearings don't get abused too much from the weight -with the new board, there's a little bit of room under it, so we store additional cables and other simple accessories in there 5

[16] This case works quite well. I saw other cases for this mixer that weigh twice as much as the mixer. This weighs about the same as the mixer so it becomes a little heavy, but still manageable for one person. My only complaint is the feet. They are hard, smooth rubber, which is slippery. The case slides too easily on the table. I'm afraid it might get knocked off the table. I am still searching for soft, sticky rubber feet to replace them. 5
