This device offers eight inputs and eight outputs on Phoenix/Euroblock connectors, making it an ideal solution for fixed installations. It's a straightforward way to add local or remote expansion to AHM Audio Matrix Processors.

The DX88-P features eight mic/line inputs with a generous +60dB of gain, phantom power, and a -20dB pad. Additionally, it provides eight line outputs, all on Phoenix/Euroblock connectors. This device is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to position it up to 100m away from the mixer.

This 96kHz DX expander is a plug-and-play device, requiring no configuration. Simply connect it to your mixer, and it's ready to go. Firmware updates are automatically handled by the mixer, ensuring your device is always up-to-date.

The DX88-P is not just functional but also versatile in terms of installation. It comes with a rackmount kit for installing two DX88 expanders together. Alternatively, it can be installed alongside a GPIO or DX Hub with an additional kit. The Cascade mode allows for daisy-chaining of up to 2 DX Expanders on each DX port.

This remote audio device is compatible with dLive, Avantis, SQ, and AHM mixing systems. It features balanced inputs on pluggable Phoenix terminal blocks, each with independent gain control, a -20dB active PAD, and +48V Phantom Power. The unit also has balanced outputs on pluggable Phoenix terminal blocks with a nominal level of +4dBu.

The DX88-P is equipped with two Ethernet DX link connectors for the transport of digital audio and control signals. It also has a 'cascade' connection for series connection of two units with a single cable connection to the mixing system. The Ethernet protocol provides control to the remote preamp, and all mic preamps are scene recallable by the digital mixing system.

Constructed with a robust steel chassis, the DX88-P can be freestanding, desk-mounted, or installed in a 19" equipment rack or case using an optional rack mounting kit. The unit operates on an external power supply connection accepting 12V DC, 3.3A, 39.6W max via a power supply provided with the unit. It's designed to operate optimally within a temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.

In conclusion, the DX88-P 8x8 96kHz Remote Control Expander Rack is a powerful, flexible, and user-friendly solution for expanding your audio setup.
