Core
96kHz XCVI Processing
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 optimized 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.
Connectivity
Comprehensive I/O Expansion
SQ-Rack features 16 high-quality onboard mic preamps and 3 stereo line inputs, and thanks to the integrated SLink port, adding more inputs and outputs is easy. Up to 48 mic inputs can be added via Allen & Heath’s extensive “Everything I/O” range of audio expanders.
You can just slot in one of our 64×64 audio networking cards for seamless integration into Dante and Waves networks, digital FoH/Monitor splits with SQ, Avantis and dLive mixers via SLink, or for MADI connectivity with third-party equipment.
