An Expander Designed for Installation and Stage, in the Spirit of dLive and SQ Systems
The DX164-W is designed to meet a simple and very practical need: to have audio I/O where the sources and destinations actually are, without having to run long analog lines all the way to the console. In a dLive or SQ setup, it serves as a convenient extension solution, particularly suited for fixed installations (rooms, places of worship, theaters, auditoriums) and stages requiring clean and accessible connection points. Its "wall box" design facilitates integration into a venue's architecture while maintaining a workflow logic close to that of a stagebox.
Who Is the DX164-W For and In Which Applications Does It Excel?
This wall box is intended for users who want to remote microphone inputs as close as possible to musicians, speakers, or actors, while keeping cabling controlled and the installation discreet. It is also very suitable for situations where XLR line outputs are needed at a specific location: sending to zone speakers, powering a monitor system, distribution to a remote control room, or connecting equipment located out of immediate reach of the console.
In a stage environment, it provides real operational comfort: connections remain accessible, hookups are faster, and stage organization gains clarity. In fixed installations, it allows creating a clean, robust, and integrated I/O point while maintaining a simple patching logic for technical teams.
