    The Neve 5045 Primary Source Enhancer is undoubtedly the most popular plugin that Yamaha has released for the QL series in years. I’ve worked corporate events nonstop for eight years now and have yet to meet an A1 that doesn’t insert them almost immediately on their lav, lectern, and/or table mics. Its ability to reduce background noise and increase GBF with little more than the default settings almost makes it a crime to not, at the very least, insert them across subgroups. I recently just purchased an SQ5 for small events, as well as an SQ7 for larger events. I absolutely love the 96K upgrade and the obvious clarity & definition over my previous X/M32 consoles, and even over various client provided consoles like the QL and CL series. However, when I use my SQ series, what I miss most is the 5045. That said, I’m not sure how long it takes, or how much it costs to develop a suitable version of the 5045, but I for one would be more than willing to donate substantially towards its development.

    I’d not heard of that device John, so thanks for flagging it up. I looked up the price of the 2-ch hardware and it’s 1800 quid! It must do something pretty special for that. Do you think a multi-band expander would come close in terms of what it achieves? As far as I know there’s no expander (as distinct from gate) available for the SQ, plug-in or built-in. Good call for an SQ enhancement though!

    Maybe the Source Expander from the DLive will make its way down to the SQ line on day…

    +1 It would be such a helpful and convenient tool to have.
