Product Description

48 channel / 36 bus digital mixer

Powered by Allen & Heath’s revolutionary XCVI 96kHz FPGA engine, SQ-5 is built for professionals in the most demanding live sound applications. Delivering class-leading high resolution audio with an ultra-low <0.7ms latency, the SQ-5 gives you unrivalled power and audio fidelity. The mixer has 16 onboard preamps and 8 stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels and access to the acclaimed RackExtra FX library. 12 stereo mixes (configurable as groups or auxes) make SQ the perfect companion for in-ear monitoring setups, whilst Automatic Mic Mixing^* takes the strain in multi-mic environments. SQ-5 gives you all the tools to meet any requirement, from AV and corporate events to live productions and houses of worship.

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. Engineers at Sweetwater 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.
