Allen and Heath DX012 12 XLR Output Audio Expander with AES Functionality

The DX012 is a 19" rack-mountable 96kHz output expander for Allen & Heath digital mixing systems.

Each GX4816 provides 12 XLR outputs, configurable as:

• 12 analogue line outputs
• 8 analogue line outputs + 4 stereo AES outputs
• 4 analogue line outputs + 8 stereo AES outputs

The DX012 connects via a single Cat5e cable to the dLive Surface, dLive MixRack, SQ 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.

Features:

• AES outputs globally switchable between:
  • 44.1kHz
  • 48kHz
  • 88.2kHz
  • 96kHz
• Cascade mode allows daisy-chaining of 2 DX16/DX12 Expanders for additional I/O
• Redundant DX connection to compatible hardware
• Multiple DX012 can be added to a system:
  • Up to 16 DX012 units can be added to a SQ system
  • Up to 46 DX012 units can be added to a dLive S Class system
