SQ Waves offers any SQ or AHM-64 device a 64 × 64, 96 kHz or 48 kHz interface to a Waves SoundGrid network via the I/O port. Engineers or installers can now adapt the Waves card to any SQ or AHM-64 for processing Waves plug-ins, multitrack recording (at 96 kHz or 48 kHz), virtual sound checks and audio distribution applications.Waves SoundGrid is an audio-over-Ethernet protocol developed by Waves for professional real-time audio applications. The card also enables the use of existing Waves plug-ins with very low latency, using standard Gigabit Ethernet networks instead of a USB connection.

2 stereo sendsThe two AUX controls send the channel signal to the aux mix outputs for use with external effects processors or, in some applications, local monitors. AUX 1 offers either PRE or POST FADE, while AUX 2 is internally set to post fader.2 stereo returnsTwo basic stereo channels for use as return inputs from external effects processors or other sources. Each return has TRIM to adjust the return signal, input DRIVE switching and CUE routing to Cue A and Cue B. Each return also features metering for visual feedback of the signal level, a LEVEL rotary fader to adjust the mix amount and combined return 1 - 2 low-cut EQ and master filter routing.3 high-performance phono preamps3 high performance turntable inputs, optimised for the club environment to minimise tonal imbalance between vinyl and digital audio and eliminate sub frequency feedback. Each phono input has its own individual turntable ground binding for greater flexibility.Studio quality fadersCustomised TKD 60 mm faders. These dual-rail faders have been carefully selected to ensure long life and smooth operation and feature a heavy feel for greater precision.Precision Sculpting EQSCULPT is a semi-parametric sweep bell filter and consists of two controls: FREQ, which adjusts the centre frequency, and CUT/BOOST, which adjusts the gain or attenuation at that frequency. The degree of cut/boost is asymmetrical; the maximum boost is limited to +8 dB, while the cut is extended to -20 dB. Sculpt has a large Q value and a frequency range that covers almost seven octaves.Contouring low and high pass filtersAs the name suggests, these two controls allow you to "contour" the frequency range of the audio signal. They consist of low-Q, high-pass and low-pass filters that are designed not to add colour to the sound as they are swept across their frequency range.Analogue overdriveA unique feature on each input is the DRIVE control. This control allows the user to set the level at which the channel preamp limits the input signal, producing harmonic distortion as a creative effect.DualCueTwo independent cue systems, A and B. Cue A is routed to the right headphone monitor and Cue B to the left headphone monitor. The DualCue system makes it much easier for two DJs to perform together on the mixer in "Back2Back" setups, as each can select a separate channel to monitor without disturbing the other. This function also helps DJs to hand over to each other smoothly and naturally.Mixer LinkA system that allows multiple mixers to be linked, either for use with two or more artists or to expand the number of channels. When linked together, the consoles share a common balanced mix that feeds the PA and booth monitors. In addition, the two cue systems are linked together and allow interactive cueing between multiple artists.Balanced mix busFully balanced main mix bus (normally only found in very high end analogue studio consoles) - resulting in a dynamic range of >110 dB, improved hum rejection, lower noise and crosstalk.Master high and low pass resonance filterThe master filter consists of a high-pass filter (HPF), a low-pass filter (LPF) and a resonance control (RES) to adjust the sharpness of the high-pass filter. The master filter can be used as a sweep frequency performance effect or as a preset frequency mix tool to instantly cut the low or high frequencies of any channel passed to the filter. Signals can be routed to the MF via the filter selection switch on each channel.Three-band master EQThree-band master EQ with asymmetrical cut and boost, -20/+6 dB, which can be used as a power control as well as a frequency correction tool.Two-band Booth EQA 2-band equaliser that allows the user to adjust the frequency response of the booth monitors to their own preferences.100 % analogueSmooth, intuitive control paired with warm, pure analogue circuitry.Zero-crossing circuitryAll internal routing uses our zero-crossing detection system, which helps to minimise audio switching artefacts when selecting channel filters, switching the master filter on/off and switching the master EQ on/off. This system allows each of these functions to be used quickly and intuitively as a performance effect.Quality componentsBeautifully smooth components, each controlling a specific function, for intuitive, spontaneous creative performances.External power supplyPowered by an external 90W 24V universal power supply. Internally, the 24 volts from the external supply is converted to just under +/- 20 V for the analogue power rails using high frequency switching technology, giving MODEL 1 the highest signal headroom of any professional mixing console, regardless of application.Dual power supplyMODEL 1 offers the benefit of dual power supply. This feature, found on premium live sound and recording consoles, can provide more security by simultaneously powering the console from a second power supply. In scenarios such as music festivals, each supply can be fed from separate mains phases. Should one phase fail, the other supply automatically takes over to power the mixer.Built in the UKBuilt in the UK with our partners DigiCo and Allen & Heath using an alloy/steel chassis for maximum strength and minimum weight, optimised for touring, club and performance situations.D-Subs inputTwo fully balanced TASCAM DB25 inputs receive all 8 stereo channels for fast connections to external sound cards and added flexibility in club installations.D-Sub outputFully balanced TASCAM DB25 output to send Master, Aux 1 & 2 sends and Cue B channels via a single connector for fast connections to external sound cards and added flexibility in club installations.Front mounted REC-OutThe RECORD OUT - 3.5 mm TRS jack socket is mounted on the front panel at the top of the master section and feeds the post-master EQ signal as a pre-fader recording output. The nominal level is -2 dB

Each AR0804 unit adds 8 XLR mic/line inputs and 4 XLR line outputs to the GLD or QU/SQ system. The connection between the AR 2412 stagebox and the mixer is realised using Cat5e cable, the length can be up to 120m depending on the type of cable used. "dSNAKE" provides remote control of the preamps in the stagerack and all microphone preamps (settings) can be saved and recalled in scenes.

The AR2412 offers 24 XLR mic/line inputs and 12 XLR line outputs and is connected to the GLD / QU / SQ digital mixers via CAT5e. Depending on the type used, the distance can be up to 120 metres. Allen & Heath's dSNAKE protocol offers the possibility of remote control of the preamps in the AR2412 stagerack from the console, all mic preamp settings can be saved and recalled in scenes.The AR2412 also features an Aviom compatible monitor (split) connection port.
