Not a Robot 31.12.2018

We're using the DX168/X to connect to an Allen & Heath SQ5. Physically, it's quite small - smaller than I expected and there is a rack mount accessory for mounting into a 19" rack. The setup was really simple, connect the SQ5 (or other compatible mixer) to the DX168/X using a Cat5/6 cable with ethercon connectors. Connect power to the DX168/X and turn on. Go into the IO screen and then select SLink - from here you can assign the inputs or outputs to channels.

The quality is great as you'd expect from Allen & Heath and I don't see any con. The only thing to worth noting is if you chain this with some of the older generation 48KHz accessories, the DX168/X will also run at 48KHz instead of 96KHz. In this situation a SLink expansion card is probably the way to go so you don't reduce the quality of the DX168/X.

Unfortunately you need these for use with the sq5, but I'm really happy with 2 of these in their separate racks wherever I need them on stage. Absolutely solid and has not let me down. Only annoying feature is having to get the back lid off every time to connect the cat5 cable

Good to use with SQ

MRmackie 14.10.2019

If you have a SQ product.
Buy this. Easy to use. Prices almost the same with very good snake cable.
But not carry like a myanmar snake to work. Just small cat6 cable.

Amazing Sound

Dany Boy 19.03.2026

Was using an analog snake to an SQ5, The difference with the DX168 is night and day. Crystal clear sound, very low noise floor, superb and I mean super sounding audio. Thrilled with the DX168.
