SQ-6 Technical Datasheet 2 Allen & Heath Ltd
A&E Specifications
The mixer shall be a compact digital mixer built
around a 96kHz XCVI FPGA core with 48 input
channels mixing to LR and 12 stereo mix outputs.
The surface shall include 25 moving faders with 6
layers, each layer having dedicated keys, giving easy
access to input channels, mixes, FX sends, FX returns,
DCA masters and MIDI control.
Each fader strip shall have dedicated PAFL, Select,
and Mute buttons with indicators, a variable LED
meter, a peak indicator LED and variable colour
backlit LCD display.
There shall be dedicated physical controls which allow
for adjustment of key processing parameters, and
which follow the select button for the input and output
channels.
The fader and rotary controls shall be of a high
contrast colour to the mixer surface for excellent
visibility during operation in low light conditions. The
rotary controls shall also be illuminated to indicate
function and availability for use.
Send levels to mixes shall be displayed and adjusted
using the faders.
Surface illumination shall be integrated into the
bodywork of the mixer.
Local analogue inputs shall use balanced XLR sockets
and connect to fully recallable digitally controlled
preamplifiers. These shall be able to provide up to
+60dB of gain, industry standard 48V phantom
power, and include a switchable -20dB Pad to allow a
maximum input level of +30dBu.
Local analogue outputs shall be provided on 12 XLR
sockets and 2 balanced TRS ¼ inch Jack sockets.
These will have a nominal line output of +4dBu and a
maximum output of +22dBu.
There shall be a local “SLink” Ethernet audio
expansion port with locking EtherCON connector,
supporting multiple AoIP protocols and providing
access to 64x64 digital channels, connected over a
single cable ‘digital snake’ and allowing remote
preamp control of Allen & Heath Remote Audio Units,
as well as connection to Allen & Heath ME Personal
Mixing Systems.
A digital I/O Port shall be provided to accept optional
cards, supporting 64x64 channels and the ability to
interface with 3
rd
party AoIP protocols such as Dante
and Waves.
All input and output processing, routing options and
system configuration shall be accessed and adjusted
