Allen & Heath SQ5 quick overview

Quick overview of the new Allen and Heath SQ5 digital mixing console. I only got the desk at the weekend so still learning but hopefully it will give people an idea. Thanks

Doing a wedding tomorrow and never touched this desk in my life. Absolute legend mate, anxiety has turned to excitement at how cool the desk is

Excellent! A complete course on this console in 16mins. I also have to use one soon. I need nothing beyond this video. Thanks!

Hi Ronnie, nice work. Please, please please can you do a quick video on how you made your rack mount kit. I know they're available to buy but they're expensive and I'm sure I could make one. Would love to see how you did it, even if it's just a few drawings or a few photos of yours. Cheers!

That's an excellent review. Thank you very much sr!

Just got one, very helpful vid thankyou. Was using Zoom L20 to multitrack record rehearsals/gigs. Sounded good but limited functionality

8:00 easy to do the same deal with an insert if you’re using just 1 channel

Hi Ronnie, a great video tutorial for the desk, I have referenced it many times over the last two years. I'm in a similar position to you with regards looking after the mixer in relation to the band I am in. I'm interested in how you set up your in ears to have the main LR mix and added your bass and vocals as necessary, would you be able to advise how you set this up for your in ears? Many thanks.

Thanks for the overview. It was great! You have any tutorial your work flow such as setting up eq/etc for vocal, drums, guitar ...

Great video Ronnie. Is there any chance you could explain (or ideally make a quick video) on how you made the rackmount ears? This would be so helpful! Keep up the great work!

Greetings, nice video from you Sir. Please my church just bought this Allen and Health mixer, am to operate on it, and this is my first time, please put me through, how I can add effect to Mic.

[powerplay]

It would help if the first thing you do is a factory or default setting.

The Qu series has line input jacks and no foot switch. The SQ series has a foot switch, but no line or combo input jacks. What a pity!

[RollingSctone]

I hope you reply to my comment. I have a gig coming week and never operate this console. Can you help me with how to send a reverb to monitor on stage

[Suitcaseproducitons]

You could be a pro at this craic Ronnie!!

[rndhl]

Thanks for a really informative video Ronnie Duignan. Which digital snake are you using with it, and does it matter to you whether it is 48 og 96 kHz? I saw that had an impact on price.

[Pharesm]

This is a good video. Thanks!
Does the display have good viewing angles, so you don't have to get up and bend over the console to operate it?

Could i send a channel through the usb to ableton and listen to the "return" of the processed signal from ableton as an insert on the same channel? So let's say a Moog on input 1, routed to ableton via usb and monitor the returned audio on channel 1? Also, what's the latency from DAW in this setup?
