Other SLink connections
The SLink port can be connected directly to another AHM-64 unit, an SLink enabled Allen & Heath mixer
such as SQ or Avantis, or a dLive system fitted with a gigaACE card. This connection enables 128x128
channels of audio.
Set the Audio Sync options so that one device is master clock (set to ‘Internal’) and
the other device is slave (set to sync from SLink or I/O Port as appropriate).
The SLink port does not tunnel control network data. Use the Network port to
connect multiple AHM-64 units or other Allen & Heath mixers for control purposes,
for example for Embedded Scene Recalls or System Manager operation.

Dante expanders
Control of the DT168 or DT164-W expanders requires an M-SQ-DANT64 (SQ Dante V2) card fitted in the
I/O Port.
Use Dante Controller to patch signals between Dante devices. When a valid DT168 or DT164-W socket is
routed to AHM-64, and patched to an Input channel, System Manager will present preamp gain, +48V and
Pad controls for the socket.
DT expanders should always be slave on the Dante network, with the AHM-64 processor typically set to
‘Preferred Master’
and
‘Enable Sync to External’
.
Refer to the DT expander Getting Started Guide at
information.
