Allen & Heath SQ – SQ-Drive Basics
Capable mixer that’s ready to expand
Right out of the box, the SQ-5 digital mixer offers 48 input channels. You have 17 faders for hands-on mixing, arranged in six fader layers for managing larger mixes. The SQ-5 also offers an SLink port for remote audio and expansion. And a 64-channel I/O port is ready for network audio integration.
Manage large mixes easily with Automatic Mic Mixing
When you’re mixing a multi-mic setup, you’ll find the SQ-5’s Automatic Mic Mixing capabilities to be a huge help. It’s also a fantastic “safety net” when relying on inexperienced volunteers to manage the sound system. With Automatic Mic Mixing, you can be sure that you’ll never experience an excessive imbalance between mic levels in large multi-mic applications.
Built-in audio interface and comprehensive I/O
Multitrack recording is made simple with the Allen & Heath SQ-5, with its built-in 32 x 32 USB audio interface. We also appreciate the convenience of direct recording to a USB drive. A 64-channel I/O port is also present for connecting to network audio. And an SLink port allows for remote audio and I/O expansion.
