Allen & Heath fibreACE
Allen & Heath fibreACE, Network Interface Card
fibreACE enables a 128x128ch 96kHz point-to-point link between dLive or Avantis systems over CAT cable or multimode fibre optic. It can also be used as a converter, to replace the dLive MixRack to Surface link with fibre optic.
It allows very low latency and cable redundancy without any audio dropout. It can also tunnel the dLive / Avantis control data over the same connection, for example to enable control of two systems via a single laptop.
The fibreACE card offers an ideal solution for digital splits and audio distribution in large scale events and installations, with cable runs up to 500m and industry standard connectors.
fibreACE is a truly plug ‘n play protocol, so no computer is required for the setup of fibreACE connections. Simply plug the cable between any two dLive / Avantis systems and set the patch and clock settings directly on the mixer.
