Description

Allen & Heath SQ5+ 48-Channel 44-Bus Digital Mixer

The SQ5+ is a powerful compact digital mixer designed for professional live sound, broadcast, and installed audio environments. Built on Allen & Heath's 96 kHz XCVI FPGA processing engine, the SQ5+ delivers ultra-low latency performance and pristine audio quality with the flexibility required for demanding mixing applications. With 48 input channels and 44 buses, it provides ample routing capacity for complex live productions, corporate events, houses of worship, and touring setups.

Featuring 17 motorized faders, an intuitive 9-inch touchscreen interface, and customizable workflow controls, the SQ5+ offers fast and efficient hands-on mixing. Its RackUltra FX engine introduces high-quality studio-grade effects, while additional RackExtra FX processing expands creative possibilities for engineers. DEEP processing support ensures analog-style emulations can be applied directly within channels without added latency.

The SQ5+ is designed for seamless integration into modern audio systems, supporting USB multitrack recording and playback, expandability via the SLink ecosystem, and optional audio networking cards including Dante, Waves, and MADI. Its compact rack-mountable design makes it suitable for both portable and fixed installations, while remote control apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android provide flexible operation from anywhere in the venue.
