The Allen & Heath SQ-Rack is a powerful 48-channel digital rack mixer designed for professional live sound, installed AV systems, and broadcast environments. Built around Allen & Heath’s advanced 96kHz XCVI FPGA processing core, it delivers ultra-low latency performance, exceptional audio quality, and flexible system integration within a compact rack-mount format.
Engineered for applications where a traditional control surface is not required, the SQ-Rack provides full mixing capability with remote control via apps and network interfaces, making it ideal for fixed installations, touring systems, and in-ear monitoring setups.
The SQ-Rack delivers 48 input channels with full processing, enabling complex audio systems to be managed from a single unit. It features Allen & Heath’s XCVI FPGA core, providing high-resolution 96kHz audio with ultra-low latency of approximately 0.7ms.
This ensures:
The mixer includes a comprehensive mixing structure with:
This allows:
The SQ-Rack features a robust onboard I/O configuration:
The preamps offer up to +60dB of gain with phantom power, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microphones and audio sources.
A key advantage of the SQ-Rack is its expandability. The integrated SLink port allows connection to Allen & Heath stage boxes and expanders, enabling systems to scale up to 48 mic inputs.
It also supports:
This makes it suitable for both standalone and networked audio systems.
The SQ-Rack includes eight stereo FX engines with access to Allen & Heath’s RackExtra FX library, offering high-quality reverbs, delays, and modulation effects.
It also supports DEEP processing plugins, allowing advanced compressor and preamp models to be embedded directly into channels for enhanced system performance.
Designed as a rack-based mixer, the SQ-Rack is controlled via:
This enables:
This approach is particularly effective in installations or touring systems where space is limited.
The SQ-Rack includes a 32x32 USB audio interface for multitrack recording and playback, making it suitable for studio and live recording applications.
It also supports direct recording to USB storage via SQ-Drive, allowing standalone capture of performances without external hardware.
Housed in a compact 4U rack chassis, the SQ-Rack is designed for efficient installation and transport. Despite its small footprint, it delivers full-scale digital mixing capability comparable to larger console-based systems.
The Allen & Heath SQ-Rack is widely used in:
It is particularly suited to applications where remote control and compact system design are required.
