How to set up your Allen&Heath SQ desk for system tuning

Pita explains how to configure your Allen&Heath SQ desk for system tuning without using an external audio interface. Very useful for a small footprint touring setup.

Looks handy. Definitely going to try that out next weeks shows.

Thanks for your video - I found it rights these days. But: I think, it isn't a good idea to take the reference-signal for Smaart from the matrix behind the master of the desk. Because if you change the EQ of the master or use any dynamics, this will take effect on the matrix also, and thus you change the reference-signal for Smaart. But the reference signal must not be influenced by any EQ or dynamics. Better way is to route the incoming signal of the signal-generator (your USB input port no. 1) directly in the desk back to the USB-port (in your case: USB output port 2) and of course parallel to the fader of the desk.

Hi, As a mono summed from Main LR, should I set the send level to REF matrix -6dB instead to keep the system gain structure the same on all outputs?

Hello! I just did everything as you showed on my new SQ6, but I have a small problem: when I do EQ on main or matrix out, I don't see any changes on Smaart magnitude trace. What am I wrong about?

[@dexter1210]

My setup is similar but instead of burning a matrix I take a direct out of the reference channel back into smaart.

Is it possible to make such connection on Yamaha TF5 ?

[@hovovos285]

Yes

[@Yuvraj____karlekar__]

@@hovovos285 sorry but you explain it how to do shortly please

[@YWenXuan]

@@Yuvraj____karlekar__ Connect the TF5 using USB TO HOST at the back of the board. If on Windows, download Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver. The rest should be pretty similar to the video.

[@Yuvraj____karlekar__]

Sir, I tried this on Yamaha TF 5 but there are a lot of problems with routing. Can you make a video on Yamaha TF 5 about USB output? Or please tell TF 5 how to do step by step routing?

It's much easier to buy for example behringer usb interface or audient evo 4.
