Description
Allen&Heath SQ-5 features 48 channel / 36 bus digital mixer, XCVI 96kHz FPGA engine, 8 stereo FX, 17 Faders / 6 Layers, SQ-Drive
direct recording to USB, 32×32 USB audio interface. Every one of the 48 inputs has HPF, a super-fast gate with sidechain and filter, a musical 4-band parametric equalizer, and Peak/RMS compressor for control and shaping of levels and transients. Also, mixes on the Allen&HEath SQ-5 have both a parametric and 28-band graphic EQ along with compressor as standard, all ready to switch in when required. The XCVI core even allows for every compressor in SQ to have its own parallel path, without phase or coherency worries.
Allen&Heath SQ-5 and its DEEP processing architecture let you hand-pick boutique compressor and preamp emulations to suit your style and needs. DEEP plug-ins can be embedded directly within the mixer’s inputs and mix channels, all without adding system latency or setup hassles. The Allen&Heath SQ-5 has all the onboard I/O you need for standalone operation. Thanks to its SLink intelligent port, SQ is also expandable up to a total of 48 mic inputs via a family of 96kHz and 48kHz rack and stage box expanders (e.g. AB168, AR2412, AR84 and DX168). This makes it a flexible, mix ‘n’ match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems. You can also link your SQ directly to another SQ or even a dLive system.
SQ’s dashboard is centered around a high-res 7” capacitive touchscreen, framed by an array of high-grip, illuminating encoders to create an intuitive, integrated blend of clear visual feedback and immediate, hands-on control. Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the colour strip displays. As a result, you can build a mixing environment that mirrors your own workflow. Each strip features the SQ patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.
