ALLEN & HEATH AR2412 Expansion Unit

ALLEN & HEATH AR2412 is the main digital expansion unit (AudioRack) designed for Allen & Heath Qu, SQ, and Avantis series mixing consoles, as well as AHM matrix processors. This unit provides 24 mic inputs and 12 line outputs, allowing all main connections to be moved from the FOH (front of house) position directly to the stage using just one Cat5e cable.

The unit uses the dSNAKE protocol, which ensures reliable audio transmission up to 120 meters. The AR2412 features high-quality remote-controlled preamps, ensuring clear and detailed sound. Integrated Monitor and Expander ports provide additional flexibility for connecting personal monitoring systems or further expanding the number of inputs with additional units.
