SQ-5

Flexible digital mixer for demanding sound professionals

Powered by the revolutionary FPGA XCVI 96 kHz engine of the Allen & Heath brand, an ultra-performance DSP allowing exceptional calculation speed and high resolution sound, the SQ-5 console is, as well as the entire SQ range, designed for live, recording and radio broadcasting applications with remarkable ease.

SQ consoles integrate all the tools and treatments you need to use to create the perfect mix. Each input has a cut-down filter (HPF), a sidechain gate, a 4-band musical parametric equalizer and a peak/RMS compressor for the control of the dynamics and transients of your signals. The mixing buses have a 28-band graphical and parametric equalizer and a switchable compressor. 8 stereo effects engines are integrated and delivered with the RackExtra library, including classic reverberation emulations, gate reverb, delays, modulations and much more. Each of the effect sections has its own dedicated stereo return, which avoids sacrificing two of the 48 channels available.

For studio recording and work applications, the SQ includes an audio interface 32 x 32 96 kHz that offers an intuitive multitrack recording solution and also allows backing tracks, live streaming and virtual level monitoring. The software driver is classy compliant on Mac, while an ASIO driver will be required for use on Windows. For even more flexibility in any configuration, the SQ consoles have an optional extension card location on the rear panel, thus offering an extended connection following the ecosystem in which you evolve.
