Allen & Heath SQ Workshop with Parallel Compression and Output Channel Processing 

Best SQ presenter

My church just installed SQ5's as our broadcast mixers for 2 setups in our sanctuary and the attached school's gym. We started using them right after Thanksgiving with little training aside from the quick on-site overview from the install company and a lot of researching on my own. (I've also needed to train my worship leader and 5 other volunteers since then, while still learning the board myself.) We were previously using a Yamaha LS9-32 by sending an Aux send to the broadcast room and mixing from an iPad on the LS9 app. (Something that discontinued setup was never intended to be used for! lol) This has been the best overview video I've seen thus far on the SQ line. Picked up a couple of quick tips and other functions I did not know about yet that will really help. The gentleman that is speaking did a wonderful job giving examples of real applications for certain features, instead of the general explanation with no context of why/how you would use that feature! Thank you for the great resource! Highly recommended, especially if you already have a basic understanding of mixing on a digital counsel.

We just added a new sq7 in our church remodel center. This is a helpful training tool.

This guy makes many people do work with SQ, Just this video at once.

Great job on explaining everything .

Super helpful presentation!

I came to see how the parallel compression worked on these and saw this other jewel: I love when pros come in and bring their own mics. They just need an xlr connection - easy peasy.

From Brasil, great explication !

What i love to see and a Tutorial is Working with 7 Gear like a analog Pré and a valve compressões rack.regards from Portugal.

8:13 - Everyone who ever touches a microphone needs to hear this. Buy your own mics and beat them all you want, but a simple "check check" will do for anything you don't own.

Greatly Helpful

This guy - Kevin Madden is amazing!!

ya x32 has variable parallel compression on every channel and bus with a wet/dry knob just like this. even the 5-band compressor (combinator) has wet/dry parallel mix. I just wish x32 had the sweet dyn8 like the SQ series has

Sometimes when people do weird things with microphones, I just get an urge to douse the mixer with gasoline, light a cigar, throw it on and walk away without looking back. Thankfully I don't smoke so that will never happen.

Thanks a lot for the good job you have been doing, but please can you help me with a training video about this board. Thank you

That’s my buddy

M32/X32 also have parallel compression.

Does the SQ6 and SQ7 has the same channels? I will like to know which is better, I am about to place an order for a client?

Is there not a way to compress your FX busses? For instance, I’m wanting to compress the delay fx buss.

parallel comp on every channel?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? all i want for christmas is an SQ6!

With regard to the parallel compression, how do the wet / dry controls act when parallel isn't switched in?
