Allen & Heath AES3 Input/Output Module – 2-In / 8-Out Digital Audio Expansion Card (AH-M-DL-AES2I8O-A)

Allen & Heath AES3 Input/Output Module (AH-M-DL-AES2I8O-A)

2-In / 8-Out Digital AES3 Expansion Card for dLive Systems

The Allen & Heath AH-M-DL-AES2I8O-A AES3 Input/Output Module is a flexible digital audio expansion card designed for dLive and compatible Allen & Heath systems. It provides a combination of 2 AES3 inputs and 8 AES3 outputs, allowing direct digital connectivity with external processors, amplifiers, recording systems, and broadcast infrastructure.

This module is ideal for system designs that require more digital outputs than inputs, while still maintaining high-quality, low-latency AES/EBU signal transfer.

Key Features

• 2-channel AES3 digital inputs
• 8-channel AES3 digital outputs
• Designed for dLive system I/O expansion
• Supports AES/EBU (AES3) digital audio standard
• Switchable output sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz
• Input sample rate conversion (SRC) support for flexible integration
• Low-latency, high-integrity digital signal routing
• Direct integration into dLive MixRack or Surface I/O ports
• Compatible with professional live sound, broadcast, and installed systems
• Ideal for connecting external DSPs, amps, and recording devices

Product Overview

The AH-M-DL-AES2I8O-A expands a dLive system by providing a hybrid AES3 interface with more outputs than inputs, making it suitable for distributed system designs such as multi-zone output feeds or complex processing chains.
