With the recent release of the dx88, I would love to see a dante version of this device, as I’m finding with some AHM installations it’s necessary to have more than the 2/2 offered with the dt22, but I still need a way to have these on the network rather than direct connect through the slink port or through a dx hub.
Also, with the dx88 seemingly made to compliment the AHM series, a single unit that has some audio in/out as well as some onboard gpio would be amazing. As with the request for the dt88, if a single unit with gpio and audio i/o was created, both dx and dt versions would be idea.
A possible DT variant was very much part of the design considerations for DX88. It will of course be subject to demand and commercial feasibility, but thank you for starting the thread!
As for GPIO, I realise it’s less convenient, but you can mount a DX88 and our 8x8 networkable GPIO unit in a 1U rack with the optional rack kits.
If possible, it would be great if you could also include a SECONDARY port. (e.g. adoption of Brooklyn III).
Also, it would be very nice to add a switch to AES/EBU output like the DX012.
Currently, none of the DT series with Dante in A&H supports AES/EBU output, which unfortunately prevents digital transmission when inputting to a power amplifier.
Just found this thread on here, I was talking about this recently with a client. With the heavy restrictions on IO that the DX88 boxes have (you can only have two boxes and they take a full DX link or sLink on an AHM without having a DX-Hub") it would be super useful to be able to network multiple DT88 in separate racks for different io points in installs.
I also use DX88 as local IO for foh racks on dLives and it would be great if they could run over Dante and give you the option of having a preamp control over Dante on any A&H console as it happens with the DT168. In the install world racking a DT168 is often a huge waste of space due to the size of the XLR connectors and the rack height.
