The Allen & Heath GX4816 (AH-GX-4816) is a 96kHz rack-mountable audio expander with 48 XLR mic preamps and 16 XLR outputs. It connects to dLive, Avantis, SQ, and AHM systems over a GX link, with two DX ports for more expansion.
Allen & Heath GX4816 Features
- 48 mic preamps on XLR. Forty-eight XLR mic/line preamps have individually configured phantom power and an LED per input, all recallable from the mixer.
- 16 XLR line outputs. Sixteen XLR line outputs handle monitor sends, mains, and zone feeds from the stage end. All outputs are assigned in the mixer soft patch.
- 96kHz audio. The GX4816 works at a 96kHz sample rate, matching Allen & Heath's 96kHz mixers end to end. The full path runs at that rate.
- Dual DX expansion ports. Two further EtherCON ports connect compatible Allen & Heath DX expanders for even more remote I/O. This lets one GX link feed a wider system.
- ME compatible DX 2 port. With Avantis or SQ, the DX 2 port connects to the Allen & Heath ME personal mixing system. Musicians can then mix their own monitors.
- Automatic firmware updates. Firmware updates automatically when connected to the mixing system, so setup is plug and play. No separate configuration is needed.
