The A&H SQ5 is one of my favorite mixer options on the market, and this has been a heavily used console. This specific unit has been used to mix large input list bands at shows, full multitrack recording sessions into ProTools with IEM mixes in-console for performers, and all size of corporate events. The SQ Mixpad app for FoH , and SQ4You app for monitor mix control for performers have been fantastic. A rolling SKB case "1SKB-R102W" is included, which has 2RU of rackable space on the front and back of the case.
This unit has 4 faders with motor issues, (2 out, 2 bad), which are marked with red e-tape. The other faders are working, but eventually all faders will need to be replaced (as expected of console of this age and amount of use). That said, I primarily mix on the iPad app after building my show on the unit, so this has not been a large issue with my use case for the last few years. Additionally, the plastic cover for the power switch has broken off. I usually press the button with the tip of my headphone cable to toggle power for the unit.

This unit has been discounted to reflect the mechanical issues, although as stated above there are workarounds to still use the unit as is. No attempt to service these issues has been made.

I will ship the unit in the SKB case, sealed in shipping stretch wrap to prevent case opening. I will also purchase shipping insurance for the delivery.
