Allen & Heath GX4816 48×16 Portable GX Expander with DX Sockets

Digital expansion made easy

Don’t you love it when you just plug something in and it works — no mess, no hassle, just hook it up and go? That’s what the GX4816 offers you. As a part of your modular dLive or SQ mixer system, this I/O expander lets you get exactly the connections you need, all via sturdy locking EtherCon ports and standard Cat 5e cables. SQ systems can handle a pair of GX4816s, C Class dLive systems can take three, and you can connect five of them to an S Class rig. Add a DX32 or two DX168 or DX164-W expanders, and you can really rack up the channel count.
