DT164-W: a Dante extension designed for Allen & Heath dLive and SQ consoles
The DT164-W fits within the Allen & Heath ecosystem logic: offering clean, robust remote I/O points to simplify cabling and increase reliability for fixed installations and technical setups. Designed as a Dante network audio extension interface, it emphasizes conversion quality and control consistency with Allen & Heath environments, notably through direct preamp control from dLive and SQ systems. The result is a natural integration into a modern control room without multiplying conversion boxes or heterogeneous solutions.
What are the most suitable uses for the DT164-W?
The DT164-W is primarily aimed at installers and technical teams seeking a discreet, secure, and durable audio access point: theaters, auditoriums, places of worship, conference centers, multipurpose stages, music schools, educational studios, and event spaces. Thanks to its wall/recessed format and installation-oriented power options, it allows creating "mic points" and line returns exactly where needed (front of house, stage left/right, rear of venue, lectern, pit, stage). For touring or event setups, its floor pocket mounting can also facilitate a clean on-stage installation with protected connectivity.
