Description

The SQ-Rack is a powerful, rackmount digital mixer designed to bring the full force of Allen & Heath’s acclaimed 96kHz XCVI core into compact live sound, AV, and installation environments. Whether it’s the heart of a touring rig, a high-spec monitor world setup, or part of a permanent venue installation, SQ-Rack delivers uncompromising audio quality, deep processing capabilities, and flexible I/O, all in a rugged, 4U rack-mountable form.

Driven by the same XCVI FPGA engine found in the SQ console series, SQ-Rack provides ultra-low latency (<0.7ms), 48 input channels, 12 stereo mixes, DEEP plugin integration, and full 96kHz resolution throughout. Designed for control without faders, it offers a customizable interface with a touchscreen, SoftKeys, and rotaries, as well as full wireless and app-based control via SQ MixPad, SQ-Control, and SQ4You apps.
