Allen & Heath Legacy Card Adapter Module – Expansion Compatibility Interface (AH-M-DL-ADAPT-A)

Allen & Heath Legacy Card Adapter Module (AH-M-DL-ADAPT-A)

Expansion Interface for Using Legacy iLive & GLD Cards in Modern dLive / Avantis Systems

The Allen & Heath AH-M-DL-ADAPT-A Legacy Card Adapter Module is a “letter-box” expansion interface designed to allow compatibility between modern dLive and Avantis systems and selected legacy iLive / GLD option cards. It acts as a bridge module, enabling older networking and audio interface cards to function within newer digital mixing ecosystems.

This makes it especially useful for system upgrades, rental inventory reuse, and integration environments where legacy cards still need to be supported.

Key Features

• Enables use of iLive and GLD option cards in dLive and Avantis systems
• Supports legacy networking formats such as:
  • Dante (M-Dante)
  • MADI (M-MADI)
  • Waves (M-Waves)
  • ACE and other compatible iLive/GLD cards
• Provides a 64×64 channel audio interface at 48kHz
• Built-in sample rate conversion (SRC) for system compatibility
• Installs directly into a compatible I/O port slot
• Allows reuse of existing Allen & Heath option card investments
• Designed for seamless integration into firmware-based system architecture
• Suitable for touring, broadcast, and installed systems

Product Overview

The AH-M-DL-ADAPT-A functions as a compatibility layer between generations of Allen & Heath digital audio hardware. By bridging legacy iLive/GLD cards with newer dLive and Avantis platforms, it helps reduce the need for full hardware replacement during system upgrades.
