DX012 

The DX012 is a 19” rack

-mountable output expander for Allen & Heath digital 

mixing  systems.  It  provides  12  XLR  outputs,  configurable  as  12  analogue,  8 

an 4 stereo AES, or 4 an 8 stereo AES outputs. It connects to 

the mixer over a single Cat5e cable. 

A second DX012, DX168 or DX164-W can be connected when in Cascade mode. 

Alternatively, a redundant connection can be made to compatible hardware.

Output sockets 1-4 

Balanced analogue XLR outputs operating at 

n4dBu level. 

 

Output sockets 5-8 

Balanced analogue XLR outputs operating at 

n4dBu level, configurable to stereo 

AES outputs 1-8

. Use the 

recessed switch to choose analogue or AES digital operation. 

 

Output sockets 9-12 

Balanced analogue XLR outputs operating at 

n4dBu level, configurable to stereo 

AES outputs 9-16

. Use the 

recessed switch to choose analogue or AES digital operation. 

 

Sample Rate 

Global selection for sample rate of the AES outputs - 

44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz. 

 

DX A 

EtherCon port for connection to the mixing system.

 

 

DX B 

EtherCon port for daisy chaining of a second unit or cable 

redundancy. Switch to 

Redundant

 for 2 cable connection to compatible 

hardware e.g. dLive S Class or DX Link card. Switch to 

Cascade

 for connection 

to a second DX012, DX168 or DX164-W unit.
