ALLEN & HEATH DX168



Overview:

The DX168 is a rugged, portable expander for adding remote I/O to a dLive S Class or dLive C Class system.

Each DX168 features 16 mic preamps with independent Phantom Power LED indicators, plus 8 XLR line outs. Up to 6 DX168 units can be connected to a dLive system – 4 via the MixRack and 2 via the Surface – allowing up to 96 remote inputs and 48 remote outputs in addition to those provided by the MixRack and Surface.

The DX168 connects via a single Cat5e cable to the dLive Surface, MixRack or upstream DX168 via a secure EtherCon port. A second locking EtherCon port is provided for redundant connection to compatible hardware, or for daisy-chaining to a downstream DX168 for additional remote I/O.

The Expander's rugged design, with hard-wearing rubber bumpers, allows for the stage floor during performances. Weighing in at just 4.8kg and featuring a sturdy carry handle, the DX168 offers you the convenience and portability you need. An optional 4U rack mounting kit is available in industry standard 19-inch racks.
