This bundle pairs the new Allen & Heath SQ7+ with its natural stage companion, the DX168 portable expander, plus a fitted desk dust cover. The SQ7+ runs 48 channels on the 96kHz XCVI core with RackUltra FX inherited from the dLive flagship, and the DX168 adds 16 remote mic preamps and 8 line outputs over a single SLink cable for full FOH/stage split with no AD/DA conversion in the audio path. Buying the three items together saves £186 against list.
