A versatile digital rack mixer with exceptional sound quality.
Experience unmatched audio fidelity and seamless integration with the Allen & Heath SQ-Rack 48-channel digital rack mixer. This powerful 4U rack solution incorporates the renowned 96 kHz XCVI core, delivering pristine sound quality with ultra-low latency. Whether you’re outfitting a venue, building an in-ear monitoring system, or taking your touring band to the next level, the SQ-Rack is designed to meet the demands of the most discerning audio professionals.

Pure 96kHz sound with advanced mic preamps.
The SQ-Rack’s 96kHz XCVI FPGA core provides 48 input channels that mix with the main LR bus and 12 stereo mix outputs, ensuring exceptional audio integrity. You’ll capture every nuance thanks to the digitally controlled, fully recallable mic preamps, which offer up to +60dB of gain and industry-standard 48V phantom power. With switchable -20dB pads to handle high-power signals up to +30dBu, these preamps deliver outstanding clarity and dynamic range.

Unmatched connectivity with the Everything I/O ecosystem.
Seamlessly integrate the SQ-Rack into your setup thanks to 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 via a single digital cable. This facilitates remote preamp control, direct connection to Allen & Heath Personal Mixing Systems, and integration with other compatible mixers.

Flexible expansion with optional cards and USB recording.
Take your system to the next level by installing optional cards in the SQ-Rack’s I/O port. Dante, Waves, MADI, and additional SLink support expands your multi-channel digital routing and processing capabilities. You can even connect directly to a computer or drive via USB for easy multi-track recording and playback, streamlining your workflow.

Intuitive Operation with Touch Control and Apps.
With an emphasis on speed and ease of use, the SQ-Rack offers comprehensive control options. The 7″ color touchscreen and dedicated fader display with fader sends put everything at your fingertips. The customizable SQ-Control display simplifies mixer operation. For maximum flexibility, remote operation is easy with the SQ-MixPad, SQ-4You, and SQ-Control apps from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
