Allen & Heath M-DL-DXLINK-A DX Link 4-Port Card for dLive and Avantis

When the built-in DX sockets on a dLive or Avantis system are used up, the DX Link card is the direct way to add more remote I/O. Fitted to an I/O Port on a dLive MixRack, dLive Surface or Avantis mixer, it provides four DX Link ports on locking etherCON connectors, each carrying 32x32 channels of 96kHz audio.

Two connection modes are available. In Parallel mode each port can host one DX32 or up to two cascaded DX168, DX164-W, DX012 or DX88-P expanders, adding up to 128 remote inputs and 64 remote outputs per card. In Redundant mode the ports work in pairs, so one expander of any kind connects with two cables for a dual-redundant link.

Operation is plug-and-play: install the card, connect the DX expanders with Cat5e or higher cable up to 100m, and patch the audio from the I/O screen. Multiple DX Link cards can be fitted to scale a system further.
