The DX012 can be placed up to 100m away from the mixer for maximum flexibility of positioning and features integrated rack-ears for mounting in a 1U 19″ space. The expander connects via a single Cat5e cable to the mixer or upstream DX Expander via a secure EtherCon port. A second locking EtherCon port is provided for redundant connection to compatible hardware, or for daisy-chaining to a downstream DX Expander for additional remote I/O.
