Allen & Heath SQ Dante Module for SQ Mixers & AHM-64 Audio Processor

Allen & Heath SQ Dante Networking Interface Card

The Allen & Heath SQ Dante is a professional audio networking expansion card designed to integrate SQ series digital mixers and compatible AHM matrix processors into Dante audio networks. Supporting up to 64×64 channels of bidirectional audio transmission, the card enables seamless connection to Dante-enabled amplifiers, stage boxes, wireless microphone systems, processors, preamps, and other networked audio devices.

Designed for maximum flexibility, the SQ Dante card supports operation at both 96kHz and 48kHz sample rates, allowing compatibility with a wide range of Dante network infrastructures. This capability enables users to maintain high-resolution audio performance while integrating multiple devices across large-scale audio systems. The card facilitates efficient audio distribution, digital signal routing, and network-based system expansion without the complexity of traditional analog cabling.

In addition to audio transport, SQ Dante supports multichannel recording and playback through Dante Virtual Soundcard, providing a cost-effective solution for live recording, virtual soundcheck, broadcast applications, and production workflows. The card also enables digital splits between consoles, making it suitable for front-of-house, monitor, and broadcast mixing environments.

Equipped with dual locking EtherCon network ports, the SQ Dante interface supports both redundant and switched network configurations for increased system reliability and operational flexibility. The integrated Control Network Bridge simplifies network management while supporting centralized control across connected devices.

Compatible with Dante Domain Manager and AES67 standards, the SQ Dante card ensures interoperability within modern networked audio ecosystems. Whether used for installations, live sound reinforcement, recording, or distributed audio applications, the SQ Dante interface delivers reliable, scalable, and high-performance audio networking capabilities.
