Overview
The DX88-P is a compact, half width 1U DX expander built for installation: 8 mic/line inputs and 8 line outputs on Phoenix (Euroblock) connectors, ideal for terminating fixed cabling in an equipment rack or under a stage. Preamps are fully recallable with +5 to +60 dB gain, 48V phantom and a -20 dB pad.
It connects with Cat5e up to 100 m to the mixer, a DX Hub or an upstream DX expander via the DX A port, and DX B daisy chains a second expander. Power is from the supplied 12V DC adaptor. A&H allows up to 8 DX88-P units on a single DX Hub.

Forefront Tip
Strip and ferrule your Euroblock tails before termination and label each pair at the connector. Two DX88-Ps cascaded on one DX port give a tidy 16 x 16 install box in 1U with the DX88-P-RK19 kit.
