48 channel, 96kHz digital mixers for live sound, AV and installation.
Built on our latest generation 96kHz FPGA XCVI core, SQ sets a new standard for compact digital mixers, delivering pristine, high resolution audio with a class-leading latency of <0.7ms.
SQ-6 is a next generation digital mixer, powered by Allen & Heath’s revolutionary XCVI 96kHz FPGA engine. Created to excel in demanding scenarios such as AV, corporate events, live productions and houses of worship, SQ-6 offers class-leading high-resolution audio fidelity and an ultra-low latency of <0.7ms. The console features 24 exceptional onboard mic preamps, plus 8 stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels and access to the renowned RackExtra FX library. SQ is a natural choice for in-ear monitor setups, providing 12 stereo mixes (configurable as groups or auxes), whilst Automatic Mic Mixing makes it an excellent choice for conferences, panel talks and more.
Powerful Processing
SQ comes equipped with all the processing you need to craft the perfect mix. Every one of the 48 inputs has HPF, a super-fast gate with sidechain and filter, a musical 4-band parametric equaliser, and Peak/RMS compressor for control and shaping of levels and transients. Mixes have both a parametric and 28 band graphic EQ along with compressor as standard, all ready to switch in when required. The XCVI core even allows for every compressor in SQ to have its own parallel path, without phase or coherency worries.
Add-On Plug-Ins Available
DEEP – Proven on countless world-tours with international artists, the DEEP Processing from our award-winning dLive digital mixing system is now available within your SQ. No 3rd party hardware, no added latency, no hassle – just studio-quality processing on every channel.
RackExtraFX– RackExtra FX Add-Ons expand SQ’s FX Rack with powerful new processors.
Pick the perfect processing suite, tailored to your specific requirements.
RackExtra FX
SQ is armed with 8 stereo FX engines and comes complete with the acclaimed RackExtra library, featuring emulations of legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators and more. Every engine has its own dedicated stereo return too, so you don’t need to use up any of your 48 input channels.
Expandable up to 48 mics
SQ-5 has all the onboard I/O you need for standalone operation. Thanks to its SLink intelligent port, SQ can also be expanded up to a total of 48 mic inputs via a family of 96kHz and 48kHz rack and stage box expanders (e.g. AB168, AR2412, AR84 and DX168), making it a flexible, mix ‘n’ match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems. You can also link your SQ directly to another SQ or even a dLive system.
The Mixing Experience
With each new design, the Allen & Heath team strives to get closer to the ultimate mixing experience. SQ’s dashboard is centred around a high-res 7” capacitive touchscreen, framed by an array of high-grip, illuminating encoders to create an intuitive, integrated blend of clear visual feedback and immediate, hands-on control. Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the colour strip displays, allowing you to build a mixing environment that mirrors your own workflow. Each strip features our patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.

Look high and low for this!
I am from the USA and had to scour high and low to be able to find a pair of these special limited edition control vinyls. Only 1500 copies were pressed and so I am grateful Mix Foundation had some in stock and was willing to ship in internationally to me. The vinyls arrived within in less than 2 weeks in perfect condition. Awesome customer service from Mix Foundation, thank you!

Ultimately It’s A Laptop Stand
So, um… yep, it’s definitely a laptop stand, and it is indeed black (as pictured). It stands and holds… erm… laptops. It may even hold other items, like a bag of potato chips (update: it will not feasibly hold a bag of potato chips although this is most likely the result of a flaw in the design of the potato chip bag, rather than the stand).
Unfortunately, it’s also unlikely to hold a very heavy item either, like, say, a car. Or even just a car engine. To be fair, UDG has never claimed that this stand will hold any sort of vehicle. Still, I suggest you’d be better off purchasing a hoist or jack if you plan to lift a vehicle of any description. And yes, I get that this might seem a bit OVER THE TOP for a smaller vehicle, like a bicycle.
I use the stand when DJing. It ELEVATES my performance. It’s outSTANDING and really LIFTs my confidence. The audience also gets a RISE out of interacting with it. Using it really is the Ultimate HIGH.
An unexpected benefit is that the blackness of the stand matches the color of my soul after playing "Wagon Wheel," “TikTok” or "I Gotta Feeling" for the one million billion gazillionth time.
By 2:45 AM, I can really use the BOOST provided by the beauty of the stand’s shiny finish. While this might seem beneficial at first, it often turns into a downside; I start contemplating how the stand will likely lose its shine as it ages. This sends my morale into a downward spiral as I reflect on my own aging. I begin to question some of my life choices. Am I losing my shine? I mean, I’m not in as good shape as I was when I was unboxed. (It occurs to me that this may be due to the potato chips.) Whatever the reason, this line of thought makes me sad. However, it’s probably unreasonable to blame the stand for this.
I HIGHLY recommend purchasing a UDG Ultimate Height Adjustable Laptop Stand in Black. But only if you’re looking for a stand for your laptop.
(Further update: The potato chip problem can be resolved by ensuring that you install the firmware update and place the bag UNDER the erect laptop stand. Note that this will only work with thin-cut chips.) ((Some thick-cut chips may work if the bag is reinforced—I have yet to test this, so you might want to tread lightly before going all gung-ho with your chip placement choices. Also, make sure to keep a backup of the stand. Not the chips)). Side note: I would also NOT suggest that you tread ON the stand, no matter how lightly you might do so.
Whether you’re an expert laptop stand user or still a relative novice, I hope I’ve convinced you to purchase this stand.
Or some potato chips.

DDJ 1000 purchase
I dealt with Phillip and Mike. Mike went the extra mile and was very good at communicating and clarifying the different stages when purchasing via the online process. Thanks Mike. Very happy with the DDJ controller and enjoying the creative process. Thanks Mix Foundation, you are on point.

great product and service.
A last minute conversation and prompt delivery of this exact item required ensured my 1010 Bluebox was operating in time for critical rehearsals. Mix Foundation for the win!
Simple & easy way to protect your investment from dust or any random items falling on to your gear. It's as simple as placing the Decksaver on top of your gear.

Awesome piece of hardware. If you've owned Pioneer gear before, you know the quality is top notch. Coming from the DDJ-SX, the DDJ-FL10 is definitely an upgrade.
Don't think twice about buying it, just make the purchase.

DECKSAVER Polycarbonate Dust Cover for Pioneer OPUS-QUAD
Its a decent controller, not as well made as the ddj-1000 but better made then the flx-6. It's cool that it has the layout like the ddj-3000, but having the hotcue/pad fx buttons above the jog wheels i find i often bump the jog wheels accidently though. It is a little annoying you have to press shift to bring up pad fx. The new drum sample buttons are really cool to play around with. And stem functionality is cool, though feels a little jank. My main issue is that you have to use rekordbox 7 which seems very badly optimized compared to previous versions. Hopefully they optimize it better and improve their stem algorithms as time progresses.
