Overview
The DT164-W is the Dante version of the DX164-W: 16 recallable mic preamps and 4 balanced line outputs in a wall box format for stages, churches, theatres and conference venues. It mounts in-wall or on-wall with a reversible frame, fits a NEMA 12 x 12 box with custom brackets, and suits the ACE Backstage 174SLBK stage floor pocket.
Primary and secondary Dante ports on locking EtherCon support redundant or switched mode, at 48kHz or 96kHz, AES67 compatible and DDM ready. Mains comes in on IEC or screw terminals with a gland module, and the 12V DC input can be the primary or a redundant supply. Preamps are controlled from Dante equipped A&H mixers, or with DT Preamp Control on other Dante systems.

Forefront Tip
Put the primary and secondary Dante ports on separate switches and VLANs as a true redundant pair. For backup power, feed the 12V DC input from a small UPS so the wall box survives a mains drop.
