Introducing the Allen & Heath AR2412 dSnake AudioRack

Expand your Qu, Avantis or SQ5/SQ6 mixers with this dSnake stagebox. The AR2412 is a 48kHz AudioRack with 24 XLR inputs and 12 XLR outputs. It also has an expander port to connect the AR0804 expander and a dedicated Aviom Pro16 compatible monitor port.

The AR2412 can be placed up to 100m away from the mixer for maximum flexibility of positioning and includes rack ears for mounting in a 3U 19″ rack space. The unit connects over a single Cat5 cable to the mixer or upstream Expander. A second port is provided for daisy-chaining to another compatible expander or for connection to a ME personal mixing system.

No configuration is required, just plug in to your mixer and you're ready to go. All firmware updates are handled by the mixer.
