Dimensions
A&E Specifications
The unit shall be a remote audio device for Dante enabled Allen &
Heath mixing systems. The remote audio unit shall provide 16 XLR
inputs with individually configured Phantom Power and 4 XLR
outputs. Phantom power LED indicators shall be provided per
input socket on the unit. The unit shall be able to provide 48kHz or
96kHz sample rate on a Dante network.
Two Neutrik Ethercon link connectors shall be provided for
transport of the digital audio and control signals over Dante. The
unit shall be able to operate in ‘redundant’ or ‘switched’ mode by
means of software. In ‘redundant’ mode the unit shall provide full
redundant connection to any Dante enabled device. In ‘switch’
mode the unit shall allow daisy chained connection of multiple
units. The unit shall have a hardware “Network reset” switch.
The Ethernet protocol shall provide control to the remote preamp,
and all mic preamps shall be recallable by the mixing system.
The remote audio unit shall have a robust steel chassis and shall
be designed to be placed in different mounting options including
NEMA12x12” box, horizontally or vertically, flush or straight
mount.
The remote audio unit shall have a built-in power supply accepting
AC mains voltages of 100~240V, 50/60 Hz, 40W max via an
earthed 3-pin IEC male connector or an optional screw terminal
with cable gland mounted on the rear chassis. A 12V DC input
shall be provided for use as primary power supply or redundant
power supply.
Recommended operating temperature for the remote audio unit
shall be 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
The unit shall be the Allen & Heath DT164-W.
