The Allen & Heath SQ-5 is a compact 48-channel digital mixing console built around a 96kHz XCVI FPGA processing core. It delivers professional high-resolution audio with ultra-low latency of under 0.7 ms, making it equally at home mixing live sound, corporate AV, recording sessions, and houses of worship. The SQ-5 provides 16 onboard mic preamps, 16+1 motorized faders, and a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen framed by illuminated encoders for fast, hands-on control. Twelve stereo mixes (configurable as groups or auxes) plus LR and three stereo matrix buses handle demanding monitor and front-of-house requirements, including in-ear monitoring setups. Eight stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels draw on the RackExtra FX library, and DEEP processing lets you embed boutique preamp and compressor emulations directly into channels. Automatic Mic Mixing simplifies conferences and panel discussions, while SQ-Drive records stereo and multitrack sessions straight to a USB drive, doubling as a virtual soundcheck tool. Expansion comes via the SLink port for stage boxes or a 64x64 I/O slot accepting Dante, Waves, or MADI cards. For churches, events companies, and installers in Kenya, the SQ-5 packs flagship SQ sound into the series' most portable footprint.
