A High-Density 96 kHz Expander at the Heart of the dLive/SQ Ecosystem
Designed for the Allen & Heath "ecosystem," the GX4816 delivers a high density of 96 kHz format inputs/outputs, ideal for centralizing the stage or FOH. Its preamps, inherited from the dLive series, provide a clear and consistent signature throughout the audio chain, while naturally integrating with SQ and dLive consoles via a single connection. Its 4U construction simplifies integration for both touring and fixed installations.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The GX4816 is aimed at contractors, houses of worship, theaters, concert venues, and recordings requiring numerous microphone inputs with rapid deployment. Connected to an SQ or dLive console, it becomes a true central "stage box," reducing the length of analog runs and improving signal cleanliness, while remaining scalable to accommodate stage growth.
Simple Connectivity, Maximum Scalability
A single network connection carries audio and control between the console and the GX4816, enabling efficient plug & play setup. The two DX ports allow adding expanders to increase I/O capacity and connecting a personal ME mixing system to quickly distribute dedicated mixes to musicians. This provides a flexible architecture that adapts to various stage topologies.
The 48 dLive preamps ensure sonic consistency from input to output, while the 16 XLR outputs facilitate monitoring, broadcast, or recording. The robust and streamlined 4U chassis optimizes rack space without compromising connector accessibility.
