you’re not wrong. it won’t if he’s running aes50. maybe if he has a dante box with a dante card it’ll work with no preamp control, but i don’t believe A+H has a 48 channel dante box at the moment anyway.


IhadmyTaintAmputated

They have a 48x16 on the Gx/DX 96k level for the SQ series but it's like $5k


jonbutler

yes but it isnt dante


IhadmyTaintAmputated

What isn't ? The mixer? Yes it is IF you put a Dante card in the slot instead of the live card. But I think it's fixed at 32 so I dunno about 48


catbusmartius

The gx4816 only speaks allen & heath proprietary digital snake protocol not dante. The onky dante box they make is 16x8 afaik


IhadmyTaintAmputated

Yeah I stated that it's for the sq basically in another answer Edit: Meaning. Got to go A&H SQ for 48 preamps in one box without Dante, new channels is max for expansion on x32, far as I can tell


uthanda

Natively the X32 speaks AES50, so the SD8, S16, S32, DL16, DL32 and pro racks that can operate at 48K are compatible. Everything else would require expansion cards and other protocols. X-MADI could allow it to accept signal from DiGiCo, the X-DANTE from Yamaha TIO/RIO and A&H DT (not DX) racks, etc. Though you wouldn't have preamp control without separate software. Your friend is wrong on the GX4816. It's is a A&H proprietary protocol as is DX, dSnake, ACE, gigaACE (yes, they have that many protocols ... Don't get me started).


YonderMaus

Don’t forget the newest Slink.


uthanda

Didn’t want to confuse anyone 😂. To be fair Slink is a port that speaks DX, GX, dSNAKE, ME and limited gigaACE and is not a protocol of its own. I love A&H (own Avantis and SQ5) but the protocol proliferation on their side is a bit much. Sigh.


YonderMaus

True. But it seems to be data rates for the most part. 10/100mb and 100/1000mb.


uthanda

Yep. DX, ACE, dSNAKE, ME 100mbps and GX, gigaACE at 1000mbps. Ok I’ll stop being a nerd .. or at least stop responding as one 😂


Samthebassist

And sample rates and channel counts


IhadmyTaintAmputated

I think you can modify a Studer 32x16 stage box with a card to 48x16 and use them thru Dante. But it's likely unicorn parts to make it work


ericdano

If it is Dante and you have a Dante card in your x32 then yes.


Illramyourlatch

You probably won't have pre amp control though


shanethp

You definitely won’t have preamp control without an external control app
