Allen & Heath 48 XLR Input / 16 XLR Output Portable GX Expander with DX Sockets (SQ/Avantis/dLive)

Allen & Heath 48 XLR Input / 16 XLR Output Portable GX Expander with DX Sockets (SQ/Avantis/dLive)
Each GX4816 is loaded with 48 dLive 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.
GX4816 connects via a single Cat5e cable to an SLink socket on a SQ or Avantis, 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.
