ME Daisy chained after 2 DXs

[John F.Participant]

Howdy,

I’ve been running with 2 SQs and an ME system for about a year now. An SQ7 @ Foh connected to our broadcast SQ5 via Slink i/o card on the FOH Desk. Our ME system is run of the Slink Out, I’d like to add 2 DX168’s to this run. Manual’s that I’ve seen have only shown 2 i/o’s downstream of an Slink Connect. Is it possible to do this?

The intention is to remove analog i/o cable and go DX and then patch that through to broadcast, while also keeping the ME System. I’d guess the alternative is to add a DX Hub, but that would be another piece of equipment.

Thanks

The dx168 is 96KHZ only, the me system is 48KHZ only.

You cant connect a me after a dx168.

THe only option is not to buy 2 dx168 but 1 gx4816, this unit has 2 dx port’s but the second dx port is also me port.

See : https://www.allen-heath.com/ahproducts/io-gx4816/

DX hub is also 96KHZ only.

Another SLink card in the other SQ should allow the ME to be plugged in there.

AB or AR boxes would also allow the ME to be used.
