Allen & Heath M-DL-GACE-A dLive 128 x 128 gigaACE Audio Networking Card

The Allen & Heath M-DL-GACE-A dLive 128 x 128 gigaACE Audio Networking Card is a state-of-the-art solution designed to seamlessly integrate into any dLive or Avantis I/O Port. Engineered to deliver a robust 128x128 channel 96kHz gigaACE point-to-point link, this card allows you to connect to another dLive or Avantis mixing system effortlessly. Moreover, it facilitates connections to the DX Hub or GX4816 expander for an extended audio network.

Built on Allen & Heath’s proprietary gigaACE protocol for transporting audio and control over standard Ethernet using CAT cables, this card provides ultra-low latency and exceptional reliability with cable redundancy, ensuring no audio dropout. With the ability to tunnel the dLive/Avantis TCP/IP control network, a single laptop can control multiple systems, making it a versatile and user-friendly option.

The gigaACE card is the epitome of plug-and-play technology. No computer setup is required—just connect the cables between any two dLive/Avantis systems, set the patch and clock settings on the mixer, and you’re good to go. Ideal for digital split applications, it streamlines FoH/Monitor configurations by sending the inputs of one system to another for independent trimming, processing, and mixing.
