Allen & Heath DX32 Modular I/O Expander Chassis

Allen & Heath dLive DX32 Expander

The Allen & Heath dLive DX32 Expander is a professional modular I/O expansion chassis designed to extend the input and output capacity of Allen & Heath digital mixing systems, including dLive, AHM-64, Avantis, and SQ platforms. Built for scalability and flexibility, it features four 8-channel card slots, allowing up to 32 channels of remote, configurable audio I/O in a single unit.

The DX32 Expander supports seamless integration into complex audio networks, enabling system designers to expand their mixing architecture without compromising signal integrity or performance. Multiple units can be combined for larger systems, with up to two DX32 Expanders connected to a dLive MixRack for a total expansion of 64 additional channels of I/O. Additionally, a single DX32 can be connected directly to a control surface, providing up to 32 extra channels for surface-based expansion.

Engineered for reliability in demanding live sound and installation environments, the DX32 features dual redundant Cat 5 EtherCON connections that ensure stable and uninterrupted data transmission between system components. Its hot-swappable dual redundant power supply design enhances operational reliability, making it suitable for critical applications where continuous performance is essential.

The modular design allows flexible I/O configuration, enabling users to tailor the system to specific application requirements. The unit can be rack-mounted or used in shelf or floor placement depending on installation needs. Designed to integrate seamlessly within the Allen & Heath ecosystem, the DX32 Expander provides a powerful and scalable solution for expanding system capacity while maintaining professional-grade audio performance and system stability.
