Allen & Heath DX32
96kHz Modular Expander
The DX32 Expander adds remote, modular I/O to a dLive, AHM-64, Avantis or SQ system. It provides 4x 8 channel slots to fit a selection of analogue or digital I/O.
Description
The DX32 connects via a single Cat5e cable to the dLive Surface, MixRack, SQ SLink port, Avantis SLink port, AHM-64 SLink port or DX Hub via a secure etherCON port. Two cables can be used for redundant connection to compatible dLive hardware.
With dLive
Up to 2 DX32 Expanders can be connected directly to a dLive MixRack, and a further DX32 can be connected to the Surface. More units can be added to a dLive system via a DX Link card or DX Hub.
With Avantis
A single DX32 can connect directly to an Avantis SLink port. Up to 8 DX32s can be added to an Avantis system via DX Hub and/or DX Link cards..
With SQ
A single DX32 can connect directly to an SQ SLink port. Up to 4 units can be added to an SQ system via a DX Hub.
With AHM-64
A single DX32 can connect directly to an AHM-64 SLink port. Up to 4 units can be added to an AHM-64 system via a DX Hub.
DX32 Features
- 4x 8ch modular design
