Description
The GX4816 is a 96kHz audio expander that adds remote I/O to an SQ or dLive system.
Each GX4816 features 48 mic preamps with independent Phantom Power LED indicators, plus 16 XLR line outputs. Additionally, 2 DX ports are provided for connection to up to 4 DX Expanders for further I/O expansion. Connection to a ME Personal Mixing System is possible via the DX2 socket.
The GX4816 connects via a single Cat5e cable to an SLink socket on a SQ, or to a gigaACE audio network card on a dLive system. Connection to DX Expanders and the ME Personal Mixing System is also over Cat5e cable.
