The Allen & Heath SQ SLink Card for SQ Series Mixers is a game - changer. It lets engineers add an extra intelligent SLink port to any SQ console. Just like the built - in SLink port, this card enables connection to 128 inputs and 128 outputs of digital audio, unlocking a world of new system possibilities. The option card works independently from the built - in port, allowing two different Allen & Heath protocols to be used simultaneously in one system. With two SLink ports, you can combine an SQ with ME personal monitoring systems, DX (96kHz) or dSnake (48kHz) expanders. Any SQ console with an SLink card can directly connect to Qu, SQ or dLive systems, expanding digital FOH/monitor splits, broadcast feeds and more. Key features include 128 inputs and outputs for audio and preamp control, 96kHz or 48kHz operation, gigaACE (96kHz), DX (96kHz) or dSnake (48kHz) connectivity, intelligent mode switching, independent SRC for dual - protocol use in one system, and plug - and - play installation.
Using the Allen & Heath SQ SLink Card is straightforward. First, install the card in your SQ console following the plug - and - play instructions. Once installed, you can start connecting it to other devices. You can connect it to up to 128 inputs and 128 outputs of digital audio. You can choose between 96kHz or 48kHz operation depending on your needs. When using it with other systems like ME personal monitoring, DX or dSnake expanders, just follow the normal connection procedures. Make sure to keep the card clean and free from dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you encounter any issues, check the connections first. If problems persist, contact Allen & Heath support.
