Overview

A versatile digital rack mixer with exceptional sound quality.

Experience uncompromising audio fidelity and seamless integration with the Allen & Heath SQ-Rack 48-channel rack-mountable digital mixer. This powerful 4U rack solution packs the renowned 96kHz XCVI core, delivering pristine sound quality with ultralow latency. Whether you're equipping a venue, building an in-ear monitoring system or taking your touring band to the next level, the SQ-Rack is engineered to meet the demands of discerning audio professionals.

Pure 96kHz Sound With Advanced mic Preamplifiers

The SQ-Rack's 96kHz XCVI FPGA core provides 48 input channels mixing to the main LR bus and 12 stereo mix outputs, ensuring exceptional audio integrity. You'll capture every nuance through the fully recallable digitally-controlled mic preamps, which offer up to +60dB of gain and industry-standard 48V phantom power. With switchable -20dB pads to handle hot signals up to +30dBu, these preamps deliver uncompromised clarity and headroom.

Unparalleled Connectivity With the Everything I/O Ecosystem

Seamlessly integrate the SQ-Rack into your setup with its extensive analog and digital I/O options. The local SLink port provides intelligent AoIP connectivity, allowing you to expand inputs and outputs using Allen & Heath's renowned Everything I/O ecosystem over a single digital snake cable. This unlocks remote preamp control, direct connection to Allen & Heath personal mixing systems and integration with other compatible mixers.

Flexible Expansion With Option Cards and USB Recording

Take your system even further by installing option cards in the SQ-Rack's I/O port. Support for Dante, Waves, MADI and additional SLink opens up multichannel digital routing and processing possibilities. You can even connect directly to a computer or drive via USB for straightforward multitrack recording and playback, streamlining your workflow.

Intuitive operation with touchscreen control and apps

With a focus on speed and ease of use, the SQ-Rack provides comprehensive control options. The 7" color touchscreen and dedicated fader screen with 'sends on faders' put everything at your fingertips. The customizable SQ-Control display offers simplified mixer control. For ultimate flexibility, remote operation is a breeze using the SQ-MixPad, SQ-4You and SQ-Control apps from your smartphone, tablet or computer.
