Frequently Asked Questions
How does the DX Link card expand my dLive system?
Each M-DL-DXLINK-A card provides four EtherCon ports that can connect DX32, DX168, and DX164-W expanders in parallel or redundant configurations. A single card adds up to 128 inputs and 64 outputs to your dLive system.
What is the advantage of 32x32 channels per port?
32x32 channel capacity per port means you can daisy-chain or redundantly connect large expanders without bottlenecking audio flow. This supports venues with dozens of microphones and complex mixing requirements.
Can I operate in parallel and redundant mode simultaneously?
Yes, you can configure some ports for parallel expansion (increasing I/O) and others for redundancy (backup connectivity). This flexibility supports both growth and failover protection.
How many expanders can I connect via one DX Link card?
With four locking EtherCon ports, you can connect multiple DX32, DX168, or DX164-W expanders in parallel or redundant configurations. Procure.ae can advise on the optimal setup for your venue.
What sample rates does the DX Link support?
The DX Link operates at 96 kHz to maintain professional audio quality across all expanded I/O channels. This supports broadcast and live sound standards.
Is hot-swapping expanders possible during operation?
For details on hot-swapping capabilities and system stability during expander connection changes, contact Procure.ae. They can advise on best practices for your specific installation.
What is the lead time for DX Link card delivery?
Lead times depend on availability. Contact Procure.ae for a delivery quote and timeline.
Does Procure.ae assist with complex dLive expansion setups?
Procure.ae can provide technical guidance on DX Link configuration, expander daisy-chaining, and redundancy setup. Our team is available to support your system design.
What is the physical connector type and cable specification?
