The SQN-5S, as the newest member of the SQN family , is the natural successor to the classic SQN-4S. It offers the same convenience of operation in the same slim case but with five full channels and reduced weight and power consumption. Anyone familiar with the earlier mixer will be immediately at home with the SQN-5S. Any organization that is currently using the 4S will find that the new mixer is completely compatible with the old.

The SQN-2S has been developed by further reducing the size of the essential elements of the SQN-4S Series IVe. Although this tiny mixer does not have the full functionality of its parent, it is capable of carrying out virtually any of the tasks commonly required of a portable mixer in location recording and outside broadcast.

Two of the input channels, CH1 & CH2, are conventional microphone channels with the full range of powering bass cut and attenuation. This pair can also be MS matrixed.

The second pair, CH3 & CH4, have a reduced gain and no powering. They are intended for use with Radio Mics or other self-powered mics. All channels can be routed Left, Right or Centre (both).
The mixer includes balanced transformerless input and output amplifiers, virtually unbreakable analogue level meters, pre-fade listening (on CH4), slating microphone, a minimal length audio path with the option of MS matrixing of CH1 & CH2. The limiter is identical to the design already proven in the SQN-4S as is the low distortion tone oscillator. MS decoding of the monitoring is also provided.
