Description
Compact and rack-mountable, the SQ5+ puts the full feature set into the smallest frame in the range. 17 motorised faders, 8 assignable SoftKeys and 4 built-in RackUltra FX engines give you flagship-tier processing and comprehensive hands-on control. Add the 19” rack kit and it’s as at home in a fixed installation as it is on the road.
Record. Stream. Mix
SQ+’s built-in USB audio interface enables easy multitrack recording, backing-track playback, livestreaming, and virtual soundcheck at up to 32×32 channels at both 96kHz and 48kHz. Class compliant and compatible with Mac and Windows with ASIO and WDM drivers available. You can also map faders, rotaries, channel keys and SoftKeys to control your favourite DAW using the Allen & Heath MIDI Control app.
Capture. Playback. Virtual Soundcheck
The integrated SQ-Drive makes it quick and easy to capture or playback 16 channels (96kHz), 32 channels (48kHz), or a simple stereo mix, direct to a USB drive. No need for a laptop or DAW – just press record.
Automatic Mic Mixing
SQ+’s advanced Automatic Mic Mixers make it a natural choice for mixing conferences, panel discussions, and broadcast applications. Two independent 24 channel AMM’s can run simultaneously for two separate zones or combine into a single 48 channel AMM for larger events.
