Each output is relay-protected and supports high-resolution transmission. Compatible with any dLive I/O port and configured via system firmware. Built for clean digital routing and scalable audio distribution. Engineered for precision and interoperability across AES3 networks.

The Allen & Heath M-DL-AES6I4O-A AES3 interface card offers 6 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs for dLive systems. Inputs feature sample rate conversion from 32kHz to 192kHz, while outputs support fixed rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96kHz. The card uses balanced XLR connectors and includes SRC bypass options for clock-synced environments. Ideal for integrating multiple digital sources such as playback devices, processors, or consoles. Outputs are relay-protected to prevent signal spikes during power transitions. Compatible with all dLive I/O ports and firmware v1.5 or higher. Built for robust digital audio routing and system interoperability.

The Allen & Heath Dante 128x128 Card (M-DL-DANT128-AX) enables bidirectional audio networking for dLive and Avantis systems. Supporting 128 channels at 48 or 96kHz, it integrates seamlessly with Dante-enabled devices and networks. Three EtherCon ports provide primary, secondary, and control network connections, with full support for Dante Domain Manager. AES67 compatibility ensures interoperability with other AoIP protocols. Ideal for multitrack recording, digital splits, and large-scale routing. Plug-and-play setup with automatic firmware sync simplifies deployment. Built for high-channel-count, low-latency audio distribution.

The Allen & Heath fibreACE Card (M-DL-GOPT-AX) delivers 128x128 channels of 96kHz audio over copper or fiber using the proprietary gigaACE protocol. Designed for dLive systems, it supports ultra-low latency, cable redundancy, and TCP/IP tunneling. OpticalCon Duo connectors enable rugged fiber links up to 500m, ideal for long-distance digital splits. The card can also replace the MixRack-to-Surface link with fiber for improved reliability. No software setup is required—just patch and sync via mixer interface. Compatible with touring-grade fiber and CAT5e cables. Engineered for robust, high-fidelity point-to-point audio transport.

The Allen & Heath SuperMADI Card (M-DL-SMADI-AX) provides 128x128 channels of AES10-compliant MADI audio at 48 or 96kHz. It features 8 BNC connectors and 4 SFP slots for coaxial and optical transmission, with switchable redundancy per link pair. Supports both SMUX and HighSpeed modes for compatibility with third-party MADI devices. Channel mapping is flexible in blocks of 32, allowing tailored routing across formats. Ideal for digital splits, broadcast integration, and high-density I/O expansion. Firmware-controlled setup ensures seamless operation. Built for scalable, low-latency MADI networking.

The Allen & Heath M-SQ-DANT64-AX Dante Card provides 64x64 channels of bi-directional audio at 48kHz or 96kHz for SQ and AHM series mixers. It features two locking EtherCon ports that support redundant or switched network modes. The card enables seamless integration with Dante-enabled devices such as amplifiers, stage boxes, and wireless systems. It supports multitrack recording via Dante Virtual Soundcard and is compatible with Dante Domain Manager. Internal control network bridging allows remote device management over a single cable. AES67 compatibility ensures interoperability with other AoIP protocols. Built for high-resolution audio networking and flexible system expansion.

The Allen & Heath M-SQ-MADI-AX MADI Card provides 64x64 channels of AES10-compliant digital audio for SQ mixers. It supports 48kHz and 96kHz operation with Smux or HighSpeed modes. The card features two BNC inputs and two BNC outputs for split or redundant configurations, plus a BNC wordclock I/O for sync flexibility. Ideal for integration with broadcast systems, OB vans, and third-party consoles. Console-controlled error handling and patching simplify setup and operation. Compatible with firmware v1.5.2 or higher. Built for high-channel-count digital transmission over coaxial infrastructure.

The Soundcraft RS2360SP ViO/D21 ADAT is a tested spare ADAT card designed for Vi Series consoles, providing reliable optical audio I/O via the D21m interface.
