The Allen & Heath DX168 is a rugged, 96kHz portable I/O expander (stagebox) designed to add remote inputs and outputs to Allen & Heath digital mixing systems. It's a compact, high-performance solution for expanding channel count in live sound, touring, installations, and broadcast setups, offering low-latency 96kHz audio resolution for superior clarity over its 48kHz predecessors like the AB168. With its plug-and-play design, it integrates seamlessly without IP configuration, and firmware updates are handled automatically by the host mixer.
