Allen & Heath SQ SLink

Description

SLink Optional Module for SQ Series Mixers

The SLink card gives engineers the ability to add an additional intelligent SLink port to any SQ console. With the same functionality as the built-in SLink port, the card allows connection to another 128 digital audio inputs and outputs and expands the SQ series with a range of new system possibilities.

The optional card works independently of the built-in SLink port, allowing two Allen & Heath protocols to be used simultaneously in a single system. Therefore, it is now possible to manage:

• DX expander and a personal monitoring ME system
• DX expander and dSnake
• Expander and direct connection to another Qu, SQ or dLive system
• Simultaneous direct connection to and from an SQ and another Qu, SQ or dLive.

This makes the SLink optional card an excellent solution for FOH / Monitor digital splits, broadcast feeds, recording setups or any system requiring instant access to 256 remote sockets. 

Features

• 128 audio and preamp control inputs and outputs
• 96kHz or 48kHz operation
• gigaACE (96kHz), DX (96kHz) or dSnake (48kHz) connectivity
• Smart switching between modes
• Independent SRC for using two different protocols in a single system
• Plug'n'play installation*

*Note: SLink options require SQ firmware V1.3 or later.
