Overhaul your dLive mixing system with the DX168, a robust and portable DX Expander designed to enhance your live sound setup. This unit seamlessly integrates with both dLive S Class and dLive C Class systems, providing a significant boost in remote input/output capabilities.
The DX168 is equipped with 16 high-quality mic preamps, each with its own independent Phantom Power and LED indicators, ensuring clear and reliable audio capture. Additionally, the unit boasts 8 XLR line outputs, offering ample connectivity for a variety of audio applications.
Expand your system's reach with the ability to connect up to 6 DX168 units - 4 through the MixRack and an additional 2 via the Surface. This configuration allows for an impressive 96 remote inputs and 48 remote outputs, all while maintaining the pristine audio quality that dLive systems are known for.
Connection is streamlined with a single Cat5e cable, linking the DX168 to the dLive Surface, MixRack, or an upstream DX168 through a secure etherCON port. For enhanced reliability, a second locking etherCON port is available for redundant connections to compatible hardware or for daisy-chaining with a downstream DX168, further extending your system's I/O capabilities.
Designed with the rigors of live performance in mind, the DX168 features durable rubber bumpers and can be placed directly on the stage floor, withstanding the demands of touring and live events. Its lightweight build, at just 4.8kg, and integrated sturdy carry handle, make it an ideal solution for mobile setups in rental situations, educational institutions, houses of worship, and various other venues.
For those who prefer a fixed installation, an optional 4U rack mounting kit is available, allowing the DX168 to be securely housed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. This flexibility ensures that the DX168 can adapt to any environment, providing a professional and scalable expansion for your dLive mixing system.
