And now there is the GX4816 which has 48 inputs, 16 outputs connected via the GX connection. It runs at the full 96kHz and has a DX link Jack for further expansion. It takes the same rack space as the two AB2412 units. I have seen it advertised for $3699 and I’ll bet you can buy it for less. Neat solution with one cable to connect it. It’s on my list for the future.
The SLink IO card proved useful over the weekend. I needed to route audio around 2 city blocks for a car show. I ran 2x dx168s from the main SLink port, and then in the opposite direction I connected a AR2412 and a Ab168 to the SLink IO card. That allowed me to help route several speakers across a 1200’ span. Next I plan on grabbing a DX Hub and a few more DX168s to expand my systems flexibility/capability across 1500’. Thanks for the great documentation showing what the capabilities (and maximum limitations) are for the SQ!
