Allen & Heath SQ-6 Digital Mixer

Description

The SQ-6 is the mid-size SQ, with more faders and preamps on the surface so an operator can keep a full worship band in view without paging through layers. It runs the same 48-channel, 96kHz engine as the rest of the SQ family.

Why Churchfront specifies it

For many churches the SQ-6 hits the balance we look for: approachable enough for volunteers, capable enough for a full band with multiple in-ear mixes. It sits on the same Allen & Heath platform our team supports, and in most installs we pair it with a GX4816 stage box and a 64-channel Dante card.

Planning a full system?

This listing is the component. Most churches get the best result when the console, stage boxes, monitoring and network are designed together around the room and the team that runs it. If you would like help putting that system together, our consulting team can walk through it with you, or send us a note.
