New products (DX-164W & Prime)

Has the Dx-164W or Prime I/O cards been released yet? I cannot find them online for sale anywhere.

The prime cards certainly have not.

I’ve been told from the distributor that the DX-164W will not be available until next year - it’s being redesigned?
Can anyone from A&H comment?

So far I haven’t heard back from anyone at A&H to find out the status of this product. No replies here or from support. :frowning:

Hi All,

Here’s an update on these products.

PRIME cards - we hit a problem during testing and had to make modifications to the circuit. We’ll have another round of listening tests soon and hope to have some cards for beta testing in September.

DX164-W - current schedule is for production in September, deliveries from October depending on territory. The product was significantly redesigned compared to the concept shown last year, to cater for different mounting requirements (NEMA boxes, floor pockets etc.), power requirements (12V, IEC, screw terminals) and regulations. Thermal analysis and safety approval have also taken longer than anticipated.

Sorry for the delays but we’d rather have awesome products shipping late than mediocre ones on time!

Thank you for the update, Nicola!

Hi Nicolo,

Any update by chance on the PRIME cards? We are looking at doing an upgrade soon with money that has to be burned by the end of the year and would love to add some PRIME goodness to our DXs.

Thanks!

Hopefully we’ll see the DX164-W soon. My setup has been on hold for months waiting for these to start shipping.

And while we are at it. Why is the 164-wall(lcd) version and a 100mm IP controller only available for DiGiCo? Seems like a weird choice to snub dLive customers.

Link?

Just search for DiGiCo 4REA4.

Man! So DiGiCo and A&H really are becoming one? Look at that editor. It’s Director!

I’d love to see those LCD strips available for the dLive DX164-w!

Looks like the DX164-w has started shipping at least to distributors.
For some reason, it’s MORE expensive than the DX168! That makes no sense.

So… anyone (like me) who thinks a self-labelling stage box with LCD strips is pretty freakin’ cool, please let A&H know by e-mailing them. They said they would look into adding this to the dLive family if there was enough interest.

What’s the price difference between DX168 and DX164 ?

164W is 10-20% more expensive.

Any new ETA on Prime I/O availability or specs? Thanks!

Any new ETA on the Prime I/O? Are there any specs available as of yet? Thanks!

PRIME is currently in external beta testing, and so far the feedback has been great. I imagine we will ship by September at the latest. Perfection takes time!
Some figures below, full specs will be online soon and there is so much more to it that you cannot put in numbers, like the Nichicon Fine Gold capacitors or the 4ch of ADC per input… bear with us a few more weeks and we will detail it all.

PRIME Input
ADC 96kHz, 32bit
Mic EIN -127.5dBu
Dynamic Range 114.8dB
Residual Noise -96.8dBu

PRIME Output
DAC 96kHz, 32bit
Residual Noise -94dBu
THD+N -105dB

Awesome! Thanks as always, Nicola.
