SQ SLink Card
Overview

The SLink card provides engineers with the option 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 a further 128 inputs and 128 outputs of digital audio and opens the SQ to a range of new system possibilities.

The option card runs independently from the built-in SLink port, allowing two different Allen & Heath protocols to be used in one system, at the same time. As such, it is now possible to run the following:

DX expanders and a ME personal monitoring system
DX and dSnake expanders
Expanders 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 option card a great solution for digital FoH/Monitor splits, broadcast feeds, recording setups or any system that requires instant access to 256 remote sockets.
