Rack-mount expander interface for digital mixing systems.
The Allen & Heath GX4816 is a 96 kHz audio expander that provides remote expansion with a high number of inputs for SQ, Avantis, and dLive mixing systems, as well as the AHM-64 audio matrix processor. The GX4816 incorporates 48 dLive microphone preamps with independent phantom power LED indicators, plus 16 XLR line outputs. It also includes two DX ports for connecting up to four DX expanders to further expand I/O. Connection to a Personal Mixing System (PMS) is possible via the DX2 connector when used with SQ, dLive, and Avantis. The GX4816 expander connects via a single Cat5e cable to an SLink connector on an SQ, Avantis, or AHM-64, or to a gigaACE audio network card on a dLive system. The connection to the DX expanders and the ME personal mixing system is also made via Cat5e cable.
