ALLEN & HEATH SQ-5 User Manual

Reference Guide V1.5.0
2. Introduction
Welcome to the SQ Reference Guide.
Designed for applications where high-quality audio mixing and processing is
required in a compact and reliable unit, and built on an Allen & Heath XCVI
core, the SQ series of digital mixers feature 96kHz variable bit-depth
processing and ultra-low latency.
All SQ models can be used standalone or expanded with a range of remote
audio units and option cards. They can also be customised with additional
processing options.
Having the same processing core means all models have the same mixing
capabilities, and so this guide is generalised. Where necessary, it will be noted
which model is being discussed. The differences are as follows:

Faders
Preamps
XLR Outputs
