A Bigger, Bolder Interface

SQ+ is centred around a responsive 9” touchscreen with an all-new dark GUI that is fast to navigate and easy to read in any mixing environment. Framed by high-grip illuminated encoders, it delivers an intuitive blend of visual feedback and hands-on control.

Drag-and-Drop Layout

Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the displays, letting you build a mixing environment that works for you.

At-a-Glance Metering

Each strip features our patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication down to -72dB thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.

Accelerate Your Workflow

All SQ+ mixers feature assignable SoftKeys for quick access to the functions you use the most. The SQ6+ and SQ7+ also include assignable SoftRotaries for even more custom control.

SQ+’s advanced Automatic Mic Mixers make it a natural choice for mixing conferences, panel discussions, and broadcast applications. Two independent 24 channel AMM’s can run simultaneously for two separate zones or combine into a single 48 channel AMM for larger events.

Two FX Suites. Twelve FX Engines

SQ+ is equipped with 8 RackExtra FX engines, each with its own dedicated stereo return, giving you access to the acclaimed RackExtra FX suite, featuring emulations of legendary reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators and more.

Four built-in RackUltra FX engines take SQ+ further, each with dedicated stereo sends and returns. First developed for the flagship dLive system, and proven on international tours, the RackUltra FX suite of add-ons brings premium reverbs, vocal tuning and pitch processors, distortion, saturation, and more to SQ+. The 4 engines can also run RackExtra FX for maximum flexibility.
