Working with the Allen & Heath AB168
Move the stage connections with the production. A portable expander lets the system follow the input layout, which is useful when the position of performers and equipment changes between events.
Check the connection to your host
The sample rate and connection protocol matter when selecting the host. Confirm the supported port and complete expander arrangement before connecting equipment. A matching cable connector does not make dSNAKE, DX and Dante interchangeable; use the manufacturer connection guide for the intended system.
Put the connections in the right place
Choose a stage position that keeps the analogue cable runs manageable without obstructing access. Label the return feeds as carefully as the inputs, especially when they connect to monitor equipment. Check the host patch and the stage labels together before the performance begins.
