A bullet-proof sound mixer. Made in England, built like a tank and relatively easy to use. It also has (in my humble opinion) a nice "sound", Whenever you see a news/documentary team you'll see a soundie with a fishpole in one hand, fiddling with a box on his chest, chances are that's an SQN.

There are cheaper mixers but in my dreams I'm kitted out with the best, Sennheiser mic in one hand, SQN on my chest, Beyerdynamic headphones on my head, Michelle Pfeifer on my lap and a Balvenie Scotch in the other hand.


Thinking about it: Michelle Pfeifer and the beyerdynamics sometimes change places, but that's another story.
