The Allen & Heath SQ5+ takes the 48 channel 96kHz SQ core and adds the effects engines and the screen that the range was missing. Twelve FX engines in total, 8 RackExtra plus 4 RackUltra drawn from the flagship dLive platform, each with its own dedicated stereo send and return. The 9 inch touchscreen and new dark interface give you room to work without diving through menus.

What RackUltra adds
RackUltra FX brings dLive-grade reverbs, vocal tuning, pitch shifting, amp modelling and saturation to the SQ frame, running with no added latency. The SQ5+ also supports the latest DEEP processing add-ons, including CompStortion, Source Expander and the Dual Threshold Expander, which were previously dLive and Avantis only.

Who it suits
Engineers who want flagship effects without a flagship desk or a flagship footprint. Front of house in mid-size rooms, monitor world running 12 stereo mixes of in-ears, houses of worship, and touring engineers who carry their own desk. Same chassis as the SQ-5, so it racks in the same 12U and fits the same case.

SQ5+ or SQ-5?
The SQ5+ adds 4 RackUltra FX engines, the 9 inch screen with the dark interface, six mono matrix outs instead of three stereo, a third stereo line input with XLR talkback, and the newest DEEP processing. Everything else is shared: 48 channels, 96kHz XCVI core, 16 preamps, 17 motorised faders, six layers, 8 SoftKeys, the same I/O and the same chassis. Buying new and want the full feature set, take the SQ5+. Watching the budget, the SQ-5 is still a current model.

Expanding the system
128 x 128 Intelligent SLink handles DX168, AB168, AR2412 and DX012 expanders. The I/O card slot takes SQ Dante, Waves, MADI or SLink and reaches 128 x 128 with the SLink card. SQ+ MixPad and SQ+ 4You give you and your performers wireless control.

Recording
SQ-Drive records 16 channels at 96kHz or 32 at 48kHz to USB. The USB-B interface runs 32 x 32 at both 96kHz and 48kHz for virtual soundcheck and studio capture.

In the box
SQ5+ mixer, IEC mains lead, QR code card and safety booklet.
