Allen & Heath dLive DX32 96kHz Modular Expander
The DX32 is a fully modular expander for adding extra inputs and outputs to a dLive system. Each DX32 features 4 slots for 8 channels of high end, low noise microphone preamps, 8 analog outputs, 8 AES/EBU (32-192kHz sample rate, stereo) digital inputs & 8 AES/EBU (44.1, 48, 88.2, 96kHz switchable per output) digital outputs. The DX32 has slots for 1 or 2 hot-swappable redundant power supplies. A unique auto firmware matching feature keeps the DX32 in sync with the rest of the dLive system.
The DX32 Expander adds remote, modular I/O to a dLive, Avantis or SQ system. It provides 4x 8 channel slots to fit a selection of analog or digital I/O.
The DX32 connects via a single Cat5e cable to the dLive Surface, MixRack, SQ SLink port, Avantis SLink port or DX Hub via a secure etherCON port. Two cables can be used for redundant connection to compatible dLive hardware.
With dLive
Up to 2 DX32 Expanders can be connected directly to a dLive MixRack, and a further DX32 can be connected to the Surface. More units can be added to a dLive system via a DX Link card or DX Hub.
With Avantis
A single DX32 can connect directly to an Avantis SLink port. Up to 8 DX32s can be added to an Avantis system via DX Hub and/or DX Link cards.
With SQ
A single DX32 can connect directly to an SQ SLink port. Up to 4 units can be added to an SQ system via a DX Hub.
