Hello i have had the sq5 for a while now but haven’t used it live yet. I’m still kinda new to digital mixers my first one was a digital rack mount mixer from another company that i bought based on the promise of an eventual update for recording over avb instead of firewire, that never happened and never will for that mixer ,it was a unusual situation. not here to bash any companys . i am putting faith in allen and heath and the sq mixer because it seems to me their has been a lot of thought put into this mixer for ease of use especially setup and menus. as for compressors eq’s effects and other features, if it meant paying for those i would if it helped to open up the possibilities of getting the add on fx comp’s eq’s that wouldn’t normally be considered with updates.i am looking forward to using this mixer live and i feel like it will be better FOR ME than lots of others have looked at. Anyway just my thoughts .
