For added flexibility, remote control is a breeze with the SQ-MixPad, SQ-4You, and SQ-Control apps, giving you complete command wherever you are and at whatever your level of technical know-how.

Whether you’re equipping a venue, a touring band taking it to the next level, or building a professional in-ear monitoring system, the SQ-Rack is built for any challenge. From installations in bars to cruise ships, or integration with larger systems to bands on the move and IEM/pro touring, SQ-Rack is the perfect solution to provide premium sound, every time.

EXCEPTIONAL HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO QUALITY
SQ-Rack is built on Allen & Heath’s renowned 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine, delivering exceptional high-resolution audio quality, ultra-low latency of <0.7ms and variable bit depths for optimised dynamic range. XCVI allows SQ to handle 48 input channels at 96kHz, with massive mix headroom thanks to a 96bit accumulator, and the sheer power to embed our acclaimed DEEP plugins into all 48 input channels and all mixes.

ALL THE POWER YOU NEED
Every input has HPF, a super-fast gate with sidechain and filter, a musical 4-band parametric equaliser with RTA, and Peak/RMS compressor for control and shaping of levels and transients. Mixes have both a parametric and 28 band graphic EQ along with compressor as standard, all ready to switch in when required.
