Overview
The M-DL-DXLINK adds four DX Link ports to a dLive or Avantis I/O port, for connecting more DX expanders than the console's onboard DX ports allow. Each port carries 32x32 channels at 96 kHz over Cat5e, for up to 128 remote inputs and 64 remote outputs per card.
It is plug and play with no configuration, and runs in redundant mode (two cables per expander) or parallel mode for more boxes.
Highlights
- 4 x DX Link ports on locking etherCON
- 32x32 channels at 96 kHz per port
- Up to 128 inputs and 64 outputs per card
- Redundant or parallel mode
- Supports DX32, DX168, DX164-W and DX012
Compatibility
Works with: dLive MixRacks (CDM32, CDM48, CDM64 with 1 I/O port; DM0, DM32, DM48, DM64 with 3 I/O ports), dLive surfaces (C1500, C2500, C3500 with 1 port; S3000, S5000, S7000 with 2 ports) and Avantis, Avantis Solo and the U versions (2 option slots). Expanders: DX32, DX168, DX164-W, DX012.

Forefront Tip
In redundant mode each expander uses a pair of ports, so plan on two expanders per card. In parallel mode you can daisy chain two DX168s per port for a lot of inputs off one slot.
