Introducing the Allen & Heath DX88-P Expander
The Allen & Heath DX88-P Expander revolutionizes fixed installations with its efficient 8 in / 8 out configuration, enabling seamless audio expansion. Compatible with AHM Audio Matrix Processors, this device offers a straightforward solution for local or remote system enhancements. Its utilization of Phoenix / Euroblock connectors ensures robust and reliable connections, making it an ideal choice for professional audio setups.

Optimized Input and Output Capabilities
The DX88-P stands out with its eight mic/line inputs, each boasting up to +60dB of gain, integrated phantom power, and a -20dB pad feature. Additionally, it provides eight line outputs, all facilitated through Phoenix / Euroblock connectors for secure and efficient signal transmission. This design caters specifically to the demands of professional audio environments, offering high flexibility and performance.

Versatile Installation Options
Flexibility in installation is a key feature of the DX88-P. The unit is rackmountable, with an optional kit that allows the installation of two expanders in a single 1U 19″ rack space. This feature is particularly useful for integrating the expander with other equipment, such as AV switchers or additional DX88-P units, to create a clean and organized setup.

Advanced Connectivity and Expansion
The DX88-P supports cascade mode, enabling users to daisy-chain up to two DX Expanders per DX port, which significantly enhances system capacity without sacrificing performance. Connectivity is further simplified with plug-and-play functionality, requiring no complex IP configuration and supporting automatic firmware updates from the mixer.

Extended Reach for Remote Setups
This expander shines in its ability to be positioned up to 100 meters away from the mixer, thanks to its compatibility with CAT5e cables. This extended reach is invaluable in large venues or complex installation environments where distance can be a challenge. The inclusion of a second RJ45 port allows for additional connectivity options, ensuring versatile deployment in various audio scenarios.
