The Allen & Heath SQ-5 is a compact 48-channel digital mixer built around 96 kHz XCVI FPGA processing for pristine, low-latency sound. It features 17 motorised faders across six layers, a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen with clear metering, and dedicated rotary controls for fast, confident operation. Ideal for monitor-heavy productions, SQ-5 provides 12 stereo mixes plus LR, three stereo matrix buses and eight internal stereo FX engines with returns. DEEP processing supports high-end plug-ins directly on channels and mix buses, and this unit includes the Dynamic Trio, Opto Compressor and Tube Stage Preamp add-ons. Connectivity is extensive: SLink for remote audio/network expansion, 64-channel audio networking slot (Dante, Waves via card), 32×32 USB audio interface, SQ-Drive direct USB recording and AES digital output. It’s 19-inch rackmountable, ME personal-monitoring compatible, and includes a protective Flyht Pro case and dust cover for touring convenience. A powerful choice for live sound, install and broadcast workflows where reliability, flexibility and speed matter.
