Description
96kHz XCVI Core Engine
Powered by Allen & Heath’s 96 kHz XCVI FPGA, SQ-Rack delivers pristine high-resolution audio with ultra-low latency below 0.7 ms. It handles 48 input channels with exceptional headroom, while DEEP Processing runs studio-grade compressor and preamp models on every channel with zero added latency.
Flexible I/O
SQ-Rack includes 16 onboard mic preamps, stereo line inputs, and SLink expansion to scale up to 48 mic inputs via remote stageboxes. A 64×64 I/O option slot supports Dante, Waves, MADI, and SLink cards for seamless integration into modern audio networks.
Remote Control Mixing
Its compact 4U faderless design offers fast control via touchscreen, SoftKeys, and assignable Soft Rotaries. Full remote mixing is supported through SQ MixPad, SQ4You, and SQ Control apps on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows.
Processing, FX & Recording
Each channel features full processing with HPF, gate, parametric EQ with RTA, and Peak/RMS compression. Eight stereo FX engines with dedicated returns plus SQ-Drive and a 32×32 USB interface enable premium effects and effortless multitrack recording and playback.
