ALLEN & HEATH SQ-Slink Network Card

ALLEN & HEATH SQ-SLink Network Card

The ALLEN & HEATH SQ-SLink is an intelligent I/O expansion card designed for SQ series mixers and AHM matrix processors. This module provides engineers with a second independent SLink port, which operates in parallel with the console's built-in connection. This allows two different Allen & Heath protocols to be used simultaneously, for example, connecting a 96kHz DX stagebox and a 48kHz ME personal monitoring system.

The card supports up to 128x128 channel streaming and can be switched between 96kHz and 48kHz frequencies, ensuring full compatibility with the entire "Everything I/O" ecosystem. The SQ-SLink is an indispensable accessory when performing digital signal splitting between FOH and monitor positions, sending streams for broadcast, or connecting the console with other dLive, Avantis, and Qu systems.

Key Features

• 128x128 Channel Streaming: Provides immense bandwidth for complex audio network configurations.
• Independent Operation: Operates separately from the console's internal SLink connection, allowing two different protocols to be used in one system.
• Protocol Support: Compatible with gigaACE (96kHz), DX (96kHz), and dSnake (48kHz) standards.
• Universal Connectivity: Allows direct connection of the console with other Allen & Heath systems for monitor splitting or broadcasts.
• SLink Technology: The intelligent port automatically recognizes the connected device and selects the appropriate protocol.
