The SQN-4S_mini is an upgraded revision of the SQN-2S which created new size and weight benchmarks for the miniature ENG mixer. This elegant design puts the essence of the well known SQN-4S Series IVe 4:2 mixer into a case identical in size to the earlier SQN-3M mono mixer. The new version has new control knobs for the two secondary channels which both improve handling and mark them visually as channel faders. It also features the addition of bass cuts on Channels 3 and 4. 4m View Click on picture for closeup The SQN-4S_mini has been developed by further reducing the size of the essential elements of the SQN-4S Series IVe which now appear in the SQN-5S. This tiny mixer 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.
The new SQN-5S is the successor to the classic SQN-4S.It offers the same convenience of operation in exactly the same size case as the previous model but now with five channels and comes in at a reduced weight.It is designed to give the professional sound recordist more flexibility on location.The SQN-5S is powered using either 8 AA internal batteries or it can be powered externally from a 6V to 24V DC supply.This product is available with a choice of meters: VU Meters (SQN-5SV) SMPTE meters (SQN-5SA) Nordic Norm meters (SQN-5SN) BBC PPM meters (SQN-5SB)
