Allen & Heath gigaACE dLive Audio Networking Card

Get the versatility and enhanced functionality you need so you can achieve the highest quality of sound you want with the gigaACE dLive Audio Networking Card (M-DL-GACE) from Allen & Heath. One of multiple audio networking options provided by Allen & Heath to fit any dLive or Avantis I/O port, the M-DL-GACE delivers 128x128 channels (at 96kHz) gigaACE point-to-point link to another dLive or Avantis mixing system. This networking card also makes it possible to connect a dLive system to the DX Hub or GX4816 expander (all external components sold separately).

Using plug-and-play protocol, gigaACE does not require any computer for setting up its connections. Simply connect it to a standard CAT cable between any two dLive and/or Avantis systems, then set the patch and clock settings directly from the mixer’s user interface.

The M-DL-GACE equips you for transporting Audio and Control over Ethernet. It minimizes latency and enables cable redundancy, all without any audio dropout. This card can tunnel dLive/Avantis TCP/IP control networks over the same connection (such as controlling either of the two systems via one laptop).

The gigaACE card gives you an affordable and easy-to-use option for digital split applications, such as FOH and monitor configurations where the inputs of a dLive or Avantis system are sent to a secondary system where independent trim, processing, and mixing are applied.
