Featuring 16 mic preamps with phantom power indicators and 8 XLR line outs, AB168 runs on Allen \u0026amp; Heath's proprietary dSNAKE protocol and is compatible with both the Qu and GLD ranges. Adding an AB168 to a Qu or GLD system allows some or all I\/O to be positioned up to 120m from the mixer. The unit connects over a single Cat5 cable to the Qu\/GLD mixer or AR2412 AudioRack via a secure dSNAKE EtherCon port. A second EtherCon port is provided for daisy-chaining to another AB168 box or connection of a ME personal mixing system. AB168 auto updates its firmware to synchronize with the system. The rack's rugged design, including rubber bumpers, renders it highly roadworthy and allows it to be placed on the stage floor during performances. Weighing in at just 10.6 pounds and featuring a sturdy carry handle, AB168 is also designed for maximum convenience and portability. An optional rack mounting kit is also available. Allen \u0026amp; Heath is known for building high quality mixers for the last 40-plus years. At any time of day or night, across the globe, there is an Allen \u0026amp; Heath mixer out there working hard, sounding great and making life a little easier for the person at the controls. Back in the early 1970s, Allen \u0026amp; Heath hand-built consoles in a tiny factory in London for elite bands like Pink Floyd and The Who. These days Allen \u0026amp; Heath customers are spread across almost every environment imaginable, including touring, theatres, churches, nightclubs, TV and radio stations, recording studios and countless other places where great sound matters.\u003c\/span\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e          \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Heath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Channels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e dSNAKE, Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corded Electric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 mic preamps on XLR, 8 XLR line outs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with GLD and Qu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhantom power LED per Input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edSNAKE connection with locking Ethercon port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional locking Ethercon port for daisy chaining\/ME personal mixing system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003ctable style=\"margin-bottom:20px\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003edSNAKE, Ethernet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Source\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCorded Electric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e48 KHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Connector Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e15 pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAllen \u0026amp; Heath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Packs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAmerican Music and Sound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobal Trade Identification Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e06938122241381\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1 Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eStorage Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAH-AB-168\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAH-AB-168\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1 year.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FrontRow Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44573028810851,"sku":"6938122241381","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0818\/4931\/files\/61tqkrCO7FL._AC_SL1200.jpg?v=1788988608","url":"https:\/\/frontrow.net\/products\/allen-heath-ab168-16-in-8-out-stage-box-audio-expander-48khz","provider":"FrontRow Tech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
