The SQ's DEEP processing architecture allows you to hand-pick boutique compressor and preamp emulations and embed them directly within the mixer's inputs and mix channels, all without adding system latency or setup hassles. The mixer's 12 stereo outputs (configurable as groups or auxes) are well suited for in-ear-monitor setups, while the Auto Mic Mixing function offers quick and easy operation over multiple microphones for conferences, panel talks, and more.Īt the heart of the SQ-5 lies the 96 kHz XCVI Core FPGA engine, which delivers professional, high-resolution audio quality, ultra-low latency (less than 0.7 ms), variable bit depth for precision and noise performance, mix coherency down to the sample, and the power to handle high channel / mix counts and ample FX processing. There are also eight stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels and access to the RackExtra FX library. The SQ-5 features 16+1 motorized faders and 16 professional-quality microphone preamps.

All Scene, Library and Mixer configuration data is stored here.įrom a computer you can use a text editor to open the ‘SHOW.DAT’ file stored in the folder and see the show name.

To access the show data, open the folder. Note that this number is shown on screen to the right of each Show file name in the SQ.Ĭopy and paste the entire folder (with all files contained within) to store or backup an entire Show. The show files are labelled as SHOW0000 and will enumerate in the order they were stored on the desk. Open File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).Touch the ‘Store New’ button, name the show, and press OK.Once formatted, go to ‘Utility > Data > Shows’.Connect a USB drive and format the drive in Utility > USB Utility > Status/Format.Shows can be saved to the SQ-Drive and it can be useful to understand how and where the files are stored so they can be backed up, copied or shared. (note that it does not include the following unit specific information: Network settings, Unit name, Fader Calibration, User Permissions) A ‘Show’ includes the current state of your SQ and all scenes and libraries.
