Layer 2 compliant). A single Cat5e (or higher) cable carries bidirectional 96kHz audio

and control. Use two cables for redundancy – the system will seamlessly switch cable

4 DX168 expanders over Fast Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 Layer 2 compliant). A single Cat5e

(or higher) cable carries 32x32 channels of 96kHz audio and control. Connect the first

expander to DX1 & DX2, the second expander to DX3 & DX4.

Use the I/O screen to patch signals from or to the DX expanders.

ME - Dedicated EtherCon port for the Allen & Heath ME personal mixing

system. A single Cat5e (or higher) carries 40 channels of 48kHz audio, channel names

and stereo links. Connect a ME-1 mixer for daisy chaining or ME-U hub for power and

audio distribution.

Use the I/O screen to patch signals to the ME system.
