FAQ
Q: Is the M-DL-AIN-AX compatible with mic-level signals?
A: The M-DL-AIN-AX is a line-level input module. For mic-level signals, Allen & Heath's mic preamp input modules (such as M-MICIN) should be used instead.
Q: What is the purpose of the relay protection?
A: Relay protection mutes the inputs momentarily during power transitions, preventing audible thumps or transient spikes from reaching connected equipment and speakers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why add analog line inputs to the DX32 Expander?
The M-DL-AIN-AX adds 8 balanced analog XLR inputs to the DX32, allowing integration of analog audio sources (playback systems, legacy equipment, instruments) without separate D/A conversion hardware.
What is relay protection and why does it matter?
Relay protection prevents audible transients (clicks, pops) during power-on and power-off by electronically disconnecting the output during power transitions. This is essential in installed systems where unexpected sounds disrupt events.
Can I select which analog sources route to which outputs?
Yes, within your dLive system routing, you can freely assign the 8 analog inputs to any mix bus, direct output, or processor. This flexibility supports complex analog and digital signal mixing.
What are balanced XLR line inputs?
Balanced XLR inputs use three-pin connectors carrying audio over twisted-pair cables, canceling interference and hum. This is the professional standard for analog audio, supporting long cable runs without noise degradation.
Does the module integrate seamlessly with the DX32?
Yes, the M-DL-AIN-AX is designed as a modular expansion for DX32, providing immediate access to analog inputs via your dLive control interface.
Is this module suitable for permanent installations?
Yes, the relay protection and balanced audio handling make this ideal for conference centers, broadcast studios, and venues where installed analog source integration is required.
What is the lead time for module delivery?
Lead times depend on availability. Contact Procure.ae for a delivery quote and timeline.
Does Procure.ae assist with module installation and routing?
Procure.ae can provide installation guidance and help configure analog input routing for your DX32 system. Reach out to discuss your analog source integration needs.
How many analog line inputs does this module provide?
The M-DL-AIN-AX delivers 8 channels of balanced XLR line inputs with relay protection, expanding the DX32 Expander's analog I/O capacity.
How is this module installed in the DX32?
The M-DL-AIN-AX installs in the DX32 modular expansion slots. Installation requires basic technical knowledge; Procure.ae can provide guidance if needed.
What warranty applies to this analog input module?
Warranty coverage depends on your purchase agreement and region. Contact Procure.ae for warranty details.
