SQ Mixer Firmware Version 1.6.

0 Release Notes February 2025

V1.6.0 is a feature firmware release for the SQ series of digital audio mixers.

Note Refer to the Allen & Heath web site www.allen-heath.com for:
• The latest information on SQ Series products
• The Allen & Heath support Knowledgebase

Note Firmware files are included in this archive as *.bin files. Ensure you have the correct file for
the SQ model you are updating.

SQ-5 = SQ-5UPG_1_6_0r4812.bin
SQ-6 = SQ-6UPG_1_6_0r4812.bin
SQ-7 = SQ-7UPG_1_6_0r4812.bin
SQ-Rack = SQ-RUPG_1_6_0r4812.bin

Note Format your USB device using the SQ mixer format utility. Not all USB devices will be
compatible with the SQ mixer. Use the device only for the SQ mixer once you have
formatted it and checked it to work correctly with the mixer.

Note The SQ has a main image and back-up image for stability and redundancy. Updating the
firmware will always overwrite the alternate image to the one being used to carry out the
update.

Note If using SQ-MixPad, SQ4You or SQ-Control apps, ensure that the first two numbers of the
firmware and app versions match.
SQ firmware V1.5.0 and SQ MixPad V1.5.2 are compatible.
SQ firmware V1.3.2 and SQ MixPad V1.4.2 are not compatible.

Note As of V1.3 for iOS, and V1.5.4 for Android, SQ-MixPad and SQ4You apps are 64bit only.
For wireless control of the SQ with older 32bit devices, firmware should not be updated
beyond V1.2.* for iOS and V1.5.* for Android.

Note Scenes and shows created with an earlier version of firmware can be recalled on an SQ
running more recent firmware releases but scenes and shows created using the latest
firmware cannot be recalled on an SQ running older firmware.

Note USB streaming is compatible with Mac / Windows PC computers. SQ is Core Audio
compliant and will work with macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or later. Windows ASIO™/WDM drivers
must be installed prior to use with a Windows computer. Check www.allen-heath.com for the
latest SQ Windows drivers and installation guide.

Note SQ-Drive audio recording and multitrack playback require the USB storage device to support
high sustained transfer rates. Not all USB devices will guarantee flawless performance. For
best results, it is recommended that an external HDD or SSD is used rather than a USB
‘stick’ drive.

Note Firmware V1.2.0 introduced optional add-ons for SQ. Available add-ons and installation
status can be found in the SQ ‘Utility > General > Add-ons’ screen. Add-ons can be
purchased from shop.allen-heath.com and used to upgrade a single unit. Once installed,
Add-ons are permanent, and cannot be removed or transferred. More information can be
found on the website and in the reference guide.

Known issues – SQ-Drive:
Loss of power or unplugging a device during multi-track or stereo record may result in the
current recording being lost.

Known issues – Audio not passing when attempting to load an unavailable add-on:
When loading a show which uses an add-on not available in the installed firmware, a default
processing unit will be loaded, but audio will not pass until the processing has been switched
out. This can happen when a show saved on newer firmware is loaded into an SQ running
older firmware.

Known issues – Incorrect sync with MixPad when Mixer Config is changed:
Adjusting the Mixer Config on the desk will cause issues in the SQ-MixPad I/O Patch screen
until the app has been disconnected and reconnected. For this reason, SQ-MixPad should
only be connected after Mixer Config settings have been applied at the desk.

Known issues – Loaded MixPad Offline show not copied when updating on PC/Mac:
When updating the SQ MixPad app on a PC or Mac, the show loaded in Offline mode is not
automatically copied across to the new version. Best practice is to store the currently loaded
show before updating, then install the new version of MixPad and recall the show being
worked on before uninstalling the older version.

Known issues – Copying firmware files to a drive using macOS:

There is currently an issue when using macOS Sonoma or later to copy firmware files to a
USB drive, which prevents the firmware file from being found by the mixer.
To avoid this, use Windows, Bootcamp, Parallels or another device such as a tablet or
phone to copy the firmware file to the drive.
It is also possible to rename the file manually before copying.
For more information, including details on renaming files, please see the following article –
https://support.allen-heath.com/hc/en-gb/articles/27372432963729-Issues-when-copying-
firmware-files-to-a-USB-drive-using-macOS
This issue only occurs when attempting to update units running firmware V1.5.11 or earlier.

Known issues – Limited MIDI messaging:

Due to a lack of remaining crosspoint addresses, remote NRPN MIDI control of send levels
and assignments to Matrices 4-6 is not currently possible.
