Allen & Heath GX4816 Stagebox

48 XLR Input / 16 XLR Output Portable GX Expander with DX Sockets

As a musician performing on stage, you want your stage box to be reliable and efficient.

GX4816 is a 96kHz audio expander that provides high-input-count remote expansion for SQ, Avantis and dLive mixing systems, and for the AHM-64 audio matrix processor.

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 when used with SQ or Avantis.

GX4816 connects via a single Cat5e cable to an SLink socket on an SQ, Avantis or AHM-64, 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.
