Allen & Heath | DX012 12-output Expander for SQ and dLive Allen & Heath

DX012

12 XLR Output Analogue/AES Portable DX Expander

Need to get more out of your system? DX012 provides remote output expansion for SQ, Avantis and dLive mixers, and for the AHM-64 audio matrix processor.

Perfect for feeding IEM systems and amplifier racks, DX012 offers both analogue and AES digital output options in a compact 1U form factor.

Each DX012 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, AHM-64 mattrix processor, Avantis mixer, 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.
