Allen and Heath GX4816 48 XLR Input / 16 XLR Output Audio Expander with DX and ME Connectivity
Please Note: Orders will not be available for shipment until on or about Wednesday August, 19.
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.
Features:
- 48 Mic Preamps on XLR with Phantom Power status LEDs
- 16 XLR Line Outs
- 96kHz operation
- DX1 Port - compatible with a single DX32, or up to 2 DX168/DX164-W expanders
- DX2/ME Port - compatible with a single DX32, up to 2 DX168/DX164-W expanders, or a ME personal monitoring system.
- Compatible with SQ and dLive (firmware 1.9 onwards) systems
- Multiple GX4816 can be added to a system:
- Up to 2 GX4816 units can be added to a SQ system
- Up to 5 GX4816 units can be added to a dLive S Class system
- Up to 3 GX4816 units can be added to a dLive C Class system
