The Allen & Heath M-SQ-SLINK is a professional intelligent SLink expansion card designed for Allen & Heath SQ Series digital mixers and AHM audio matrix processors. Installed in the console's option slot, the card adds a second independent SLink port, providing up to 128×128 channels of bidirectional digital audio and preamp control at either 48kHz or 96kHz.
