SQ-Rack

SQ-Rack gives you all the power of Allen & Heath’s renowned 96kHz SQ core in a compact, rack-mountable design. Use SQ-Rack for a permanent installation to control via tablet, or take it on the road for the ultimate in-ears fly rig.

Allen & Heath SQ-Rack delivers all the SQ Series features we know and love into a shallow 4U rack-mount form factor.


Front Panel Control

If you’re already an SQ Series user, you’ll feel close to home with the front panel.

SQ-Rack’s faders screen provides instant access to level controls, plus 8 SoftKeys and 4 Soft Rotaries – all assignable with LCD displays – so you get to choose which functions you have at your fingertips.

Of course, the SQ MixPad app for Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS provides access to the SQ-Rack’s mixing functions from inside venue, with an offline mode allowing preparation of scenes or shows away from the venue.

SQ-Control can be configured by an admin user to deliver just the right amount of control for each application or dry hire, whether that’s single fader control of background music from behind the bar or controlling live stream levels in a House of Worship.


Connectivity

Back panel of SQ-Rack is where all I/O lives, along with options for more.


Right out of the box, SQ-Rack has got enough I/O to get things started, with 16 XLR mic/line inputs (plus talkback mic input via XLR), and a couple of Stereo In channels via pairs of ¼” jacks. Output is handled by 12 XLR outputs, plus 2x TRS line outputs and an AES output.

But for ultimate channel count (48 Channel / 36 Bus), you can connect via the onboard SLink to any of the compatible I/O expanders – most typically the DX168, but for in-ear rigs especially, DX012 will be a go-to favourite.


Making use of the I/O port


Ultimate Fly Rig for Monitors

With 12 stereo mixes, ultra-low latency under 0.7ms, and powerful parametric and graphic EQs on every mix, SQ-Rack is the perfect centrepiece for in-ear monitoring setups. Its shallow 4U size fits easily into IEM racks, making it ideal for touring.

SQ-Rack lets you take control of your monitor mixes for a consistent sound at every show, and without relying on house equipment.
