Copy All Settings from one SQ to Another

[Sunshy]

I am wondering if there is a way to copy all settings (routing/presets/etc.) from one SQ5 mixer to another. I would like to make a clone of one mixer so they are exactly the same.

Yes….
Save the mixer set up that you want as a scene, load that scene to a USB stick.
Take that USB to the second mixer and load the scene from the USB into the mixer.

Recall that scene and all the settings will be there.

If you have multiple scenes look at saving it as show file.

Hi @Sunshy,

Mike is correct – in addition you can see the 3 different ‘levels’ of stored data here – https://www.allen-heath.com/media/SQ_ReferenceGuide_V1_5_0.pdf#page=57&zoom=auto,-361,573

In brief
Scene contains mix settings that can be changed instantly (e.g. scene to scene, song to song)
Show contains 300 Scenes plus mixer config settings (mono/stereo mixes, sync options etc…)
Console has one show loaded at a time and stores users, name and network settings locally (as they’re related to the physical mixer rather than a show)

Cheers,
Keith.

Thank you both so much for the info.

maybe helpful
do not forget to “untic” all scene safes on the second console until that scene you want it is loaded
