So, if you want the FOH consoles outputs to come out of the monitor tent (or the stage box connected to the monitor desk) then what you do is you use tie lines. You patch your FOH outputs to sLink outputs that will then be received by the monitor console. Then in the monitor console you use tie lines to patch the incoming sLink signals to either the local outputs on the monitor desk or to a connected stage box. If you are doing a digital split and a connected stage box you will need the sLink card installed so that you have 2 sLink ports in the console that is doing the split.

You would need to add a Slink Card to one of the consoles. Then the AR2412 could connect to the built in port and the digital split could happen through the card You could even then run tie lines from one desk so that both desks can share output jacks for connection to your PA and monitors.

Yes. All SQ Consoles work the same. It could even be an SQ5 on one side and an SQ6 or SQ7 on the other.

Yes any SQ

You need to install an S/Link Card in the Monitor Desk

You need buy a S/Link card and setup into I/O port which next to S/Link current

You can split the audio to both consoles but the mix & processing of one console isn’t going to track the mic & processing of the other unless you do some serious midi programming.

No. The signal is being split and the boards will operate independently just like what you would want with a main/monitor console or main/broadcast console setup.

@@ProTechMarketing Thanks for the quick reply on an old thread! Right now, we duplicate all the channels on our SQ6 so the broadcast director has control over his mix on MixPad separate from the FOH operator. If we add an SQ5 with SLink, the broadcast director could edit all the inputs independently without duplicating the channels?

@@firstcrcoostburg that is correct. The only thing to keep in mind is the initial gain control. That will still be controlled by the main console but then if each channel uses digital trim they can make the changes they need without affecting the other one. This is the same way you are going it now with split channels but the 2nd desk gives you a lot more options.

@@jaylonshane9673 Right, we already have the gain issue as currently configured but the trim function gives us plenty of control. On the SQ6, we have 12 busses. With the digital split, do I get 12 busses on each desk?

@@firstcrcoostburg yes. Each desk has full capability. The digital split doesn’t change any of that.

That comes down to preference. For me as a FOH engineer, no. I’d rather let my monitor guy handle the preamp (including 48v Phantom Power) because they are on the side of the stage. But either way would work.

Daryl hillman digital trim is +/- 24db (48db trim swing)

You get another slink card

Julio Dominguez what we are showing is a digital split. They are not meant to work in tandem. Keep in mind that each SQ5 can be expanded up to 48 channels each. If you simply want more faders then I would suggest the SQ6 or SQ7

I've just asked this in the above comments also... Not sure why the MON board would be the gain master?? I thought it would be the other way around...?

@@alanphillips4734 I'd assume the MON board has gain master because it's closer to the inputs. Otherwise you'd have to run all the inputs back to the FOH board, instead of just the network cable. Whatever the inputs are actually plugged into is gain master.

You can

But I read on a forum u can using a different method but would it work if I had a dante card ?

The SLink port can use a bunch of Allen & Heath's digital communication protocols, but can only use one at a time. So you can have the connection between the two boards, but that will lock you into using a protocol that they both support. You'll be able to do it, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the 96kHz sample rate the SQ consoles are capable of.

@@asilva_media shit. Fixed it. Thanks!

Wondering this as well. Can't find info while using a stage box anywhere!!!

@@soundguy78 You have to add an expansion Slink card to one of the consoles

Thanks!
