Equipped with the revolutionary 96 kHz XCVI FPGA engine, the SQ-5 digital mixer has been designed with the needs and demands of professionals dedicated to high-level live sound production in mind. Providing class-leading audio resolution, exceptionally low latency of just <0.7 ms, variable bit depth for maximum precision and low noise, mix coherence down to sample level, and enough power to handle large volumes. number of channels/mixes and FX/processing, the SQ-5 offers unprecedented mixing power and high-fidelity sound. The mixer features 16 internal preamps and 8 stereo FX engines, with dedicated return channels and access to the acclaimed RackExtra FX library. Its 12 stereo mixes (configurable as groups or auxiliaries) and the possibility of having graphic and parametric EQ in each mix, make the SQ mixer the perfect tool for in-ear monitoring systems, while its Automatic Microphone Mixer offers the maximum possibilities in multi microphone environments. The advanced Automatic Microphone Mixer that the SQ mixers incorporate makes it the best choice for mixing conferences, debates and TV shows. It has been fully integrated into the mixer, without extra latency, so it is not necessary to route the audio to an internal DSP rack or an external plug-in system. SQ-5 has all the I/O necessary for fully autonomous operation. Thanks to its smart SLink port, SQ can be expanded to have a total of up to 48 mic inputs, thanks to the family of expander stage boxes (e.g. AB168, AR2412, AR84 and DX168), making it a solution that can Combine immediately with other Allen & Heath digital systems. It is also possible to interconnect two SQ mixers or even an SQ mixer and a dLive System. The SQ control panel features a 7" touch screen, surrounded by a cluster of illuminated rotary encoders, creating an integrated mix of clear visual control and immediate manipulation. Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped onto any strip of channel, with the possibility of assigning name and color code, allowing the user to build the right mixing environment for their workflow. Each strip incorporates the patented channel chromatic measurement system, which provides clear and immediate indication Thanks to the variable color and brightness of the LEDs, the SQ-5 also has 8 softkeys that can be assigned to the desired functions, as well as a 'channel to all' mix button for instant access to all channel sends. selected. Allen & Heath has a well-deserved reputation for creating FX emulations,capable of rivaling the best plug-ins on the market, but without any of their drawbacks. SQ is equipped with 8 stereo FX engines and offers the acclaimed RackExtra emulation library, including legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators and much more. All FX have specific stereo returns, so they do not need to consume input channels. SQ is fully compatible with the ME Personal Mixing System, allowing performers to take control of their own monitor mixes. Via the Slink port or from a remote expander, it is possible to daisy chain any number of ME-1 and ME-500 personal mixers. The integrated SQ-Drive offers a quick and easy way to make stereo or multitrack recordings of your performance, at 96 kHz resolution, directly to a USB drive, without the need to configure software, without hassle with sound card drivers and without having to use a laptop. There is also a 32x32 internal audio interface with 96 kHz resolution for multi-track recording, playing back-up tracks or performing virtual sound checks. This interface is Core Audio and ASIO compatible and has been complemented with MIDI and DAW control possibilities. SQ is the centerpiece of a growing ecosystem of apps, expanders, network audio, personal mixers and much more, allowing the user to adapt and expand their work system. It also supports major audio networking standards such as Dante or Waves, allowing you to easily integrate with installed systems, provide split FoH/monitors, and much more.
