Allen & Heath SQ-5
48 channel, 96kHz digital mixer for live sound, AV and installation.
Compact, powerful, and versatile, the Allen & Heath SQ-5 is a premium 48-channel digital mixer designed for professionals who need exceptional performance in a portable format. It features 16+1 motorized faders, 16+1 onboard preamps and 8 assignable SoftKeys, providing comprehensive control in a compact 19” rack-mountable design.
Drag-and-Drop Layout
Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the displays, allowing you to build a mixing environment that works for you.
At-a-Glance Metering
Each strip features our patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.
Intuitive Control
SQ’s dashboard is centred around a high-res 7” 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.
Speed Up Your Workflow
All SQ mixers feature SoftKeys which can be assigned to commonly used functions. The SQ-6 and SQ-7 also provide assignable Soft Rotaries for even more custom control.
