Allen & Heath DX012 Features
- 12 configurable XLR outputs. Configure the 12 XLR outputs as 12 analog, 8 analog plus 4 stereo AES, or 4 analog plus 8 stereo AES to suit the rack.
- Switchable AES sample rate. The AES outputs run at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, or 96kHz, so they match amplifiers and processors in the system.
- Redundant or cascade mode. Two locking EtherCON DX ports give full redundant connection to compatible systems, or cascade two units in series.

- Ideal for amp and IEM racks. Allen & Heath designed the DX012 to feed IEM systems and amplifier racks with both analog and AES digital options.
- Up to 100m from the mixer. The DX012 can sit up to 100m from the mixer, with firmware updated automatically when it connects over a single Cat5e cable.
