SQ-Sb please!

[Barryjam]

Rack mount SQ version similar to QU-sb would be wonderful for a growing number of bands who are imbracing separate monitor mixers, especially IEMs. Since I play in the band, I have little need for the physical faders, and, I could even fly with the mixer in one carry-on and the IEM setup (wireless and Me) in another. SQ options for all those stereo mixes is a real advantage over QU. Not to mention Dante and other means to connect with a variety of FOH systems we encounter.

This is probably in A&H future plans. Anybody else like to see this happen sooner rather than later?

Embracing not imbracing. Spelling challenged.

Dear A&H!!! Please, make SQ-SB!!! It will be bomb now. All small groups would be to buy it.
Please, make it! We are waiting…

This would be great, anyone from Allen& Heath able to say whether one will ever arrive?

[Alex_Petrov_59]

Yes, it would be great! Only our activity can attract attention of A&H to this point! Please, be active!

I would like an SQ Pac version based on the form factor of the Qu Pac.

That said I could really be tempted with a “SQ Mini” something with maybe
8 faders, 6 layers,8 local inputs and outputs, D Link jack, one card slot and a
couple 1/4 inch IO jacks.
Physical back panel space could be a limiting factor!!

+1 for this. The mixpad needs upgraded to be able to do absolutely everything which it doesn’t currently do.

The SQ-Sb just needs to be the back panel of an SQ5 in my opinion, nothing more nothing less. really hope it happens!

Please think about exactly what you are asking for: The SQ processing protocol is very far advanced beyond the QUsb comparison you are alluding to. I own and use both a QUsb and an SQ5. I know all too well the benefits and short commings of both. If A&H could offer a full function FPGA processing I-Pad app they would already have it available in the SQ as well as their other upscale models. (D-Live & Advantis) There are clear and and understandable reasons why tactile controls are the primary function on all A&H upscale stage box controllers. I-Pads are an ancillary tool, not an ideal primary control protocol.! As I have stated on several occasions if an SQsb is absolutely needed, then put a SQ5 on the stage floor and do your thing with an I-Pad. The foot print is not that much bigger and all of the function you are requesting & more are currently available in an SQ5.

Do not compare the potential SQ-SB with the QU-SB. The QU-SB is more or less a toy compared to what the X32 Rack offers. That should be the device to act as a blue print for a SQ-SB design.
For me A&H should not only pack the IO and processing of the SQ5 into a rackmountable housing without physical controls. A&H should furthermore extend the possibilities with some of the features of the X32.

+1, But would like it to include an HTML5 based interface that can be used with any device, just by pointing a web browser at the mixer’s IP address. Another company does this with their rack mixer and it’s a great feature. No more app store/play store, no more OS compatibility problems.
