Open Box Allen & Heath AB168 Digital Stage Box Level 1 Black

The Allen & Heath AB168 Digital Stage Box is a revolutionary rack-mountable remote audio rack compatible with Allen & Heath's Qu, Avantis and SQ digital mixers, as well as the AHM-64 audio matrix processor. Featuring 16 microphone preamps with phantom power indicators and 8 XLR line outs, the AB168 operates via Allen & Heath's proprietary dSNAKE protocol and can be positioned up to 328' from a compatible mixer. Connecting through a single Cat5 cable to either a mixer or AR2412 AudioRack, the AB168's second EtherCon port allows for daisy-chaining additional AB168 units or a ME personal mixing system. Automatically updating its firmware to sync with your system, the AB168 is ideal for any live performance.
