I should have added that 96kHz is the internal sampling rate, meaning that audio is sampled at twice the speed of 48kHz. The higher sample rate increases the accuracy of the AD/DA conversion and contributes to decreased latency in the signal processing.

If I understand your question correctly, this may be the answer in regards to specifications:

Human Hearing Spectrum
The average human can hear frequencies between 20Hz to 20kHz. Often, audio equipment with a 20Hz to 20kHz response range will be marketed as having a full-range response. This is in reference to our hearing as 20Hz to 20kHz is the full range of the frequencies we can hear.

Most audio measurements are relative to the frequencies that are audible to human hearing. That is not saying that the board is unable to process frequencies outside of that range.

Hi Todd,

A scene is not what you need because your I/O and room is not going to be the same as mine. The SQ5 is an excellent board, but the board will not make you a better sound engineer.

To best understand the board, this playlist is worth viewing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq3_zC_Xz0Pg94Yu1qioOEEJw2pxhdHP8

The first question is did you ring out (EQ) the room? Ultimately trust your ears, but there are tools in the mixer that can help if you understand how to use them:

RTA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5jN-PBhHPo

PAFL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Y9K1BMllQ

You can use the signal built in signal generator and an RTA mic to help pinpoint problem frequencies. Instead of using your eyes, playback music that you are familiar with as a reference and equalize it to where it sounds best in the room. Only cut out problem frequencies using the GEQ on the Main L/R, do not boost.

After you have the room dialed in, you have a better canvas to work with.

I suggest you schedule a time with the drummer (outside of practice or worship) to get the drum sound dialed in. PAFL each drum and use headphones to get the sound you want from each drum and then listen without headphones to hear it in the room. After you have the drums under control, invite other musicians (individually or in small groups) to adjust their channels. This will take the pressure off you of trying adjust things on the fly. Remember to save your settings as you work to a scene, and keep a backup scene as you progress.

Hope this helps 🙂

Keith talks fast so it helps to watch it in front of the SQ and pause the video often to follow along with all the screens on the mixer.

[Heirloom AVMParticipant]

This video should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0tJRe0sjgo

Here is even more information on the ME: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq3_zC_Xz0PhaaHsemqdbjuJ2rzmVLH-t

ME Mixers are independent of the Aux Mixes. This leaves all of your aux sends on the board available for other mixes.

[Heirloom AVMParticipant]

I believe this is the best solution for additional monitor mixes: https://www.allen-heath.com/key-series/me/

If the FX is the same for each channel with the same parameters, you just route the channels into it rather than inserting the effect on the channel.

Here is a good video to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0tJRe0sjgo

[Heirloom AVMParticipant]

Yes Willy, just output the SigGen to whatever AUX mix you are EQ’ing instead of L/R.

[Heirloom AVMParticipant]

See page 87: https://www.allen-heath.com/media/SQ_ReferenceGuide_V1_5_0.pdf

If I recall correctly, you output the SigGen to L/R. Input the mic into any channel but do not assign it to L/R. PAFL the mic channel and use the RTA while adjusting the graphic EQ on the L/R to flatten out the frequency response. Remember to reduce the gain on problem frequencies only; do not boost. Do the same thing on other Aux mixes as needed.

[Heirloom AVMParticipant]

AR2412 and/or AR84 can be used and they run @ 48K. DX168 runs at 96K. All are expanders and will add additional input channels. How many more channels do you need?

[Heirloom AVMParticipant]

Perhaps to support new add-in cards?

[Heirloom AVMParticipant]

You should be able to open the current real drum scene and then save it as a new scene. Then just adjust for the Roland kit and save. All of the other instrument settings should be retain the values from the real drum scene.
