The Allen & Heath DX164-W (AH-DX164-W) is a 16-in, 4-out remote audio expander built for wall mount or dip trap installation. It connects to dLive, Avantis, SQ, and AHM-64 systems over DX.
Allen & Heath DX164-W Features
- 16 mic preamps on XLR. Sixteen XLR mic/line preamps have individually configured phantom power and a phantom LED per input, all scene recallable from the mixer.
- 4 XLR line outputs. Four XLR line outputs feed local speakers, monitors, or recorders right at the wall box location. They are assigned in the mixer soft patch.
- Wall or dip trap mounting. A robust steel chassis fits a NEMA 12x12-inch box, mounted horizontally or vertically, flush or straight. It also works as a dip trap.
- Flexible power. Power from IEC mains, an optional screw terminal with cable gland, or 12V DC used as the main or redundant supply.
- Redundant or cascade. Two EtherCON DX ports and a mechanical switch give redundant connection to dLive S Class, or cascade two units on one cable.
- Automatic firmware updates. Firmware updates automatically when the DX164-W connects, so installs are plug and play. No separate configuration is needed.

Theatres and churches: Stage or platform wall boxes.
