Allen & Heath GX4816 48-In, 16-Out Stage Box

Description

The GX4816 puts 48 of Allen & Heath’s dLive mic preamps and 16 line outputs wherever the stage needs them, connected to the console over a single Cat5e run of up to 100m. Two DX ports let it feed more expanders or an ME personal monitoring system.

Why Churchfront specifies it

This is our default stage box. It has plenty of I/O for a full band with room to grow, and it lives in the equipment rack with floor pocket cabling running to the stage. On SQ and Avantis systems the second DX port can feed the ME personal monitoring system directly, which keeps the install clean.

Key features

• 48 mic preamps with +60dB of gain, a -20dB pad and a phantom power LED on every input
• 16 balanced, relay-protected XLR line outputs
• 2 DX ports for up to 4 additional DX expanders
• DX2 port feeds the ME personal monitoring system on Avantis and SQ
• Up to 100m from the mixer on Cat5e STP or better (Cat6a STP required for Qu connections up to 80m)
• Integrated rack ears for a 5U 19-inch space
• Plug-and-play: no configuration, firmware updates handled by the mixer

Works with

SQ and SQ+, Avantis, 96kHz Qu models and AHM processors, plus dLive through a gigaACE card.

Planning a full system?

This listing is the component. Most churches get the best result when the console, stage boxes, monitoring and network are designed together around the room and the team that runs it. If you would like help putting that system together, our consulting team can walk through it with you, or send us a note.
