Allen & Heath DX164-W
The Allen & Heath DX164-W is a wall-mountable expander that adds remote I/O to a dLive, Avantis, SQ and Qu mixers, or to AHM audio matrix processors.
16 Mic Preamps
+60dB of gain, Phantom Power indicators and -20dB pad for line level sources.
4 Line Outs
Balanced, relay protected line outputs on XLR.
Redundant and Cascade Modes
Redundant mode supports dual-cable connection to compatible hardware. Cascade mode allows daisy-chaining of up to 2 DX Expanders on each DX port.
Plug-and-Play
No configuration required, just connect to your mixer and you’re ready to go. Firmware updates are handled automatically by the mixer.
Wall or Floor Mount
The reversible mounting frame allows for in-wall or on-wall mounting. With custom brackets, the unit can be fitted in a standard NEMA box, or mounted in a floor pocket for stage use.
Put It Where You Need It
The DX164-W can be placed up to 100m away from the mixer for maximum flexibility of positioning. The expander connects via a single Cat5e cable to the mixer or upstream DX Expander 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 DX Expander for additional remote I/O.
Flexible Power Options
The IEC mains power inlet can be replaced with a gland module and screw terminals for fixed installation, and a DC 12V backup input is also provided.
