Hello Steffen,

in a forum, especially on Sundays, I don’t expect an immediate answer – from anyone. 😉
Anyhow – Thank you for your quick and really helpful reply!

I found the information I needed in your linked document,
and now I understand the DX system architecture much better.

On page 3 I found this information:

The DX012is a fixed format expander offering 12-16outputs(depending on configuration) in a 1u rack mountable format.

Sad but true:
Unfortunately, I did not find this information in the instructions or advertisements for DX012 itselfs.
There it gives the appearance that you can use 4 analog + 8 stereo AES outputs (=20 separate in total) at the same time.
IMHO: As an A&H Newbie, like me, who is not so familiar with the to DX/GX system it is important to find a specific reference to it in the manual of the device you are using.

Conclusion:
It’s not a HW or SW fault than I had initially suspected!
Just a misunderstood from my side.

I need to buy a second DX012 to get a total of 2 analog and 8 stereo AES analog outputs. ;-);

So it’s not an “Avantis Trobleshooting” topic and it could be shifted to “Others”.

Thanks and kind regards
Michael

@Showtime:
Thank you for your quick replies.

You wrote that the DX012 has a maximum of 16 outputs – that means the behavior is correct?!

Are the channels in the Avantis limited to 16?
Because in the entire description of DX012 (QuickGuide and advertising on the web) no restriction or shared use of the channels (analog / AES) is mentioned.

Each DX012 provides 12 XLR outputs, configurable as:
12 analogue line outputs
8 analogue line outputs + 4 stereo AES outputs
4 analogue line outputs + 8 stereo AES outputs

12 XLR Outputs:
1-4 Analogue Line Out
5-8 Analogue Line out or AES Digital out (switchable)
9-12 Analogue Line out or AES Digital out (switchable)

@Allen&Heath:
Maybe someone from the support team can explain it.

kind regards
Michael
