Reset Mix Settings
The SQ+ has multiple ‘Reset Mix Settings’. These are used to ‘zero the desk’ for different uses.
This will clear the current state of the SQ+, but does not affect stored Scene or Library data, so save the current state as a Scene before carrying out this kind of reset if you might wish to recall it later.
Press the ‘SCENES’ screen key, then touch the ‘Reset Mix...’ button in the top left to show the Reset Mix Settings pop-up.
Select an operating role and information on default settings will be displayed. Touch the ‘Reset’ button to reset the mix with these settings.
Global filters are ignored and safes are all switched off when mix settings are reset.

System Reset (Factory Reset)
To perform a full system reset on an SQ+, hold the 'LIBRARY' and PEQ ‘HF’ keys when powering on the unit and wait until the unit has fully booted.
This will clear all mix settings and all saved data, including Shows/Scenes and Libraries, and will revert the SQ+ to its initial state. So before you carry out a system reset, back-up any data you wish to keep.
ⓘ System resets do not remove Add-Ons.
Fader Calibration
Faders are calibrated at the factory, but can occasionally become misaligned or behave incorrectly, this can happen for many reasons and is usually nothing to be concerned about. However, it may necessitate a re-calibration.
- Press the ‘UTILITY’ screen key, then touch the ‘General’ tab followed by the ‘Calibration’ tab.
- Touch the ‘Calibrate’ button and follow the on-screen instructions, positioning the faders at +10dB, 0dB, -10dB, -30dB and -inf when prompted.
