The DT168 is a portable, rugged Dante I/O unit. It can be used to complement
Allen & Heath digital mixing systems on a Dante network. It provides 16 remote
controlled mic/line preamps and 8 XLR line outputs. It connects to the Dante
network over a single Cat5e cable, or two cables for redundancy.
The DT168 can be operated horizontally with the connectors facing upward or
sideward, or vertically to save space on stage. It can also be mounted in a 19”
rack or flight case using the optional AB1608-RK19 kit. A hard-wearing padded
polyester carry case is also available, A&H part number AP9932.
