The newly released Allen & Heath SQ+ series has quickly become a favorite among houses of worship, live sound engineers, studios, and rental companies. But with premium gear comes premium responsibility, keeping your mixer safe from damage, wear, and environmental risks. That’s where our SQ5 Road Case comes in. Since the SQ5 and SQ5+ share identical dimensions, this case is the perfect fit, offering unmatched protection across every market segment.
Houses of Worship: Guarding Against Dust, Humidity, and Handling
Churches often face unique challenges. Open spaces allow dust and humidity to circulate freely, which can damage faders and circuits over time. Add to that volunteer operators who may not have professional training, and the risk of accidental bumps or drops increases. Storage in multipurpose rooms also exposes mixers to scratches or spills.
The solution? Our SQ5 road case provides a snug EVA foam lining that shields against dust and moisture while absorbing shocks from accidental handling. Its rugged exterior ensures the mixer stays pristine, even when stored in shared spaces. For churches, this means peace of mind and reliable sound every service.
Venues & Installations: Permanent Doesn’t Mean Protected
Even fixed installations aren’t immune to hazards. Drinks can spill, cleaning staff may knock equipment, and exposed cables often strain ports, leading to costly repairs. Security is another concern, unprotected gear is vulnerable to tampering or theft.
By housing your SQ5+ mixer in our road case, you add a protective barrier against everyday venue risks. Reinforced corners and recessed latches keep the mixer secure, while the case design supports proper cable management, reducing strain. Venues gain not only protection but also a professional presentation that reassures clients and performers alike.
Live Sound Engineers: Built for the Road
For live sound engineers, the SQ+ is a workhorse, but constant transport exposes it to vibration, impacts, and scratches. Outdoor gigs add weather risks like rain, heat, or dust. And without a case, setup and teardown take longer, as engineers must carefully wrap and pack gear.
Our SQ5 road case eliminates these worries. Heavy-duty plywood construction withstands the rigors of touring, while the foam interior cushions against vibration. Weather exposure is minimized, and the streamlined design speeds up load-ins and load-outs. Engineers can focus on delivering exceptional sound, not babysitting fragile equipment.
Studios & Production Houses: Professional Image and Longevity
In studios, mixers often move between control rooms or mobile rigs, increasing the chance of drops or knocks. Even in controlled environments, dust buildup and accidental spills can degrade performance. Worse, a scratched or damaged mixer undermines the professional image studios rely on.
The SQ5 road case ensures your SQ5+ remains spotless and reliable. Its rugged black finish resists scratches, while the protective interior prevents wear from daily use. For studios, this isn’t just about protection—it’s about maintaining credibility with clients who expect top-tier gear in pristine condition.
Rental Companies: Protecting ROI and Reputation
Rental companies face the toughest challenge: high turnover. Multiple users, frequent events, and constant transport mean mixers are handled more than any other market. Without protection, dents, scratches, and broken knobs pile up, reducing lifespan and ROI. Worse, delivering damaged gear hurts reputation and customer satisfaction.
Our SQ5 road case is the essential safeguard. It extends the lifespan of SQ+ mixers, ensuring they look and perform like new even after dozens of rentals. Customers receive reliable, professional equipment, boosting repeat business and protecting your bottom line.
