AP11841 Issue 1
DX012
The DX012 is a 19” rack
-mountable output expander for Allen & Heath digital
mixing systems. It provides 12 XLR outputs, configurable as 12 analogue, 8
an 4 stereo AES, or 4 an 8 stereo AES outputs. It connects to
the mixer over a single Cat5e cable.
A second DX012, DX168 or DX164-W can be connected when in Cascade mode.
Alternatively, a redundant connection can be made to compatible hardware.
Front panel
Output sockets 1-4
Balanced analogue XLR outputs operating at
n4dBu level.
Output sockets 5-8
Balanced analogue XLR outputs operating at
n4dBu level, configurable to stereo
AES outputs 1-8
. Use the
recessed switch to choose analogue or AES digital operation.
Output sockets 9-12
Balanced analogue XLR outputs operating at
n4dBu level, configurable to stereo
AES outputs 9-16
. Use the
recessed switch to choose analogue or AES digital operation.
Sample Rate
Global selection for sample rate of the AES outputs -
44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz.
DX A
EtherCon port for connection to the mixing system.
DX B
EtherCon port for daisy chaining of a second unit or cable
redundancy. Switch to
Redundant
for 2 cable connection to compatible
hardware e.g. dLive S Class or DX Link card. Switch to
Cascade
for connection
to a second DX012, DX168 or DX164-W unit.
