The Allen & Heath SQ5+ combines the full functionality of the SQ+ platform with the most compact form factor in the range. With 17 motorised faders, 8 assignable SoftKeys and 4 built-in RackUltra FX engines, this digital mixing console offers extensive hands-on control and powerful processing. Thanks to the optional 19" rack kit, the SQ5+ is equally suited to fixed installations and mobile use.

A larger and more powerful interface

The SQ5+ is built around a responsive 9-inch touchscreen with a dark user interface that is quick to navigate and easy to read in a wide range of mixing environments. Illuminated encoders surrounding the screen combine clear visual feedback with direct physical control.

Drag-and-drop layout

Channels and mixes can be dragged to any desired strip. With custom names and colour coding on the displays, you can fully tailor the controls to your own workflow.

Metering at a glance

Every strip features Allen & Heath's patented Chromatic channel metering system. Variable-brightness, variable-colour LEDs provide at-a-glance level indication down to -72 dB.

Accelerate your workflow

With 8 assignable SoftKeys, you can put your most-used functions within immediate reach. The SQ5+ also features 17 motorised 100 mm faders, spread across six configurable layers.

All the tools for the perfect mix

Every input channel features an HPF, a fast gate with sidechain and filter, a freely assignable insert point, a 4-band parametric EQ with RTA, and a Peak/RMS compressor. Mixes include a parametric EQ, 28-band graphic EQ and compressor as standard.

DEEP Processing with no additional latency

The SQ+ supports the latest generation of DEEP Processing add-ons. These models of classic analogue hardware are integrated directly into the channel and mix strips, with no additional latency, and can be used simultaneously across all channels.

Extensive effects

The SQ5+ features 8 RackExtra FX engines, each with their own stereo return. In addition, 4 RackUltra FX engines are built in, each with their own stereo sends and returns. These engines can also run RackExtra FX for added flexibility.

Record, playback and streaming

The built-in USB audio interface supports multitrack recording, playback, live streaming and virtual soundcheck with up to 32 x 32 channels at both 96 kHz and 48 kHz.

With SQ-Drive you can record and play back directly via USB without a laptop or DAW: 16 channels at 96 kHz, 32 channels at 48 kHz, or a stereo mix.

Extensive connectivity and expansion options

The 128 x 128 Intelligent SLink port provides access to the Allen & Heath Everything I/O ecosystem for connecting digital stage boxes, expanders and other Allen & Heath consoles, among others.

The SQ5+ also features an expansion slot for optional Dante, MADI, Waves and SLink cards, allowing the mixer to be integrated into larger digital audio networks and installations.

Compact and rack-mountable

The SQ5+ is the most compact model in the SQ+ range and can be rack-mounted using the optional 19" rack kit. This makes it particularly well suited to both mobile applications and fixed AV installations.
