Allen & Heath DT164-W Features
- 16 mic preamps on XLR. Sixteen XLR preamps offer +60dB of gain, a -20dB pad for line sources, and individually configured phantom power with an LED per input.
- 4 XLR line outputs. 4 balanced, relay protected XLR line outputs feed speakers, monitors, and recorders at the remote location over the Dante network.
- 48kHz or 96kHz Dante. Run at standard 48kHz or high-fidelity 96kHz on the Dante network, with Allen & Heath preamps and 96kHz converters.
