A&E Specifications
The unit shall be a 1U rack-mountable remote output device
for Allen & Heath mixing systems. The remote audio rack
shall provide 12 XLR outputs, configurable as 12 analogue,
8 analogue + 4 stereo AES, or 4 analogue + 8 stereo AES
outputs. It shall connect to the mixing system over a single
Cat cable.
The AES outputs shall be capable of 44.1, 48, 88.2 and
96kHz sampling rate.
Two Ethercon DX connectors shall be provided for transport
of the digital audio. The unit shall be able to operate in
‘redundant’ or ‘cascade’ mode. In ‘redundant’ mode the unit
shall provide full redundant connection to compatible mixing
systems. In ‘cascade’ mode the unit shall allow series
connection of two units.
Unit firmware shall automatically be updated when
connected to the digital mixing system.
The remote audio rack shall have a built-in power supply
accepting AC mains voltages of 100~240V, 50/60 Hz, 35W
max via an earthed 3-pin IEC male connector on the rear
panel.
The rack ears shall be detachable and reversible so that the
unit can be mounted with either side facing the front of the
rack.
Recommended operating temperature for the remote audio
rack shall be 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
The unit shall be the Allen & Heath DX012.
