Versatile Digital Mixing for Professionals: SQ MixPad by Allen & Heath
SQ MixPad offers intuitive control over various mixing functions, making it an essential tool for live sound engineers and studio professionals alike.
SQ-MixPad allows control of an SQ console over a wired or wireless network. It can be used simultaneously and independently of the SQ surface, providing supplementary local control and giving the engineer the freedom to move around and mix from different listening positions. Three devices running SQ-MixPad can be connected and used at the same time as using the SQ surface, facilitating four separate points for control of all mixes. An ‘Offline’ mode enables editing and management of SQ show files without connection to a console.
