Allen & Heath DX-HUB – Digital Audio Expansion Hub for DX Series Systems (AH-DX-HUB)

Allen & Heath DX-HUB (AH-DX-HUB)

4-Port DX Expansion Hub for Scalable Digital Audio Systems

The Allen & Heath DX-HUB (AH-DX-HUB) is a dedicated remote audio expansion hub designed to extend the I/O capacity of compatible dLive, Avantis, SQ, and AHM systems. It acts as a central distribution point for DX series stageboxes, allowing multiple remote expanders to be connected through a single system link.

Built for large-scale live sound, broadcast, and installed audio applications, the DX-HUB simplifies complex system design by providing multiple DX Link ports with high-channel capacity and long-distance digital audio transmission over standard Cat5e cabling.

Key Features

• 4 independent DX Link ports for connecting DX series expanders
• Each port supports up to 32×32 channels of 96kHz audio
• Allows connection of:
  • 1 × DX32 per port, or
  • Up to 2 × DX168 / DX164-W / DX012 expanders per port
• Total system capacity up to 128 inputs and 64 outputs (system dependent)
• Compatible with dLive (with gigaACE card), Avantis, SQ, and AHM systems
• Supports single-cable trunking via Cat5e up to 100m per link
• Self-contained networking hub (not a standard Ethernet switch)
• Supports redundant system configurations (dual-hub setups in dLive systems)
• Rackmountable with optional 19” rack kit
• Designed for touring, broadcast, and fixed installations

Product Overview

The DX-HUB functions as a central “distribution engine” for DX ecosystem devices, allowing multiple stageboxes to be connected and managed efficiently from a single point. It is commonly used when a system needs more remote I/O than a single mixer connection can support, while still maintaining low-latency, high-reliability audio transport.
