ALLEN & HEATH AR2412 Stageblock

Allen & Heath AR2412 Stagebox

24-input / 12-output digital AudioRack for Qu, SQ, Avantis and AHM systems

The Allen & Heath AR2412 is a professional digital stagebox (AudioRack) designed to expand the input and output capabilities of compatible Allen & Heath mixers and audio processors. Featuring 24 high-quality microphone/line inputs and 12 balanced XLR outputs, it provides a flexible and reliable solution for live concerts, theatres, rental companies and fixed installations.

The 24 built-in microphone preamps deliver up to +60 dB of gain and include a -20 dB pad, allowing both microphones and line-level sources to be connected with ease. The 12 balanced XLR line outputs are relay-protected to ensure dependable performance and professional signal integrity.

The AR2412 offers true plug-and-play operation with Allen & Heath Qu, SQ and Avantis digital mixers, as well as AHM audio matrix processors. No manual configuration is required, and firmware updates are automatically handled by the connected mixer.

A single Cat5e cable carries both audio and control data over distances of up to 100 metres (328 ft), providing maximum flexibility when positioning the stagebox. An additional expansion port allows connection of an AR84 or AB168 expander, or integration with the ME Personal Mixing System for personal monitor mixing.

Built into a rugged 3U rackmount chassis, the AR2412 is designed to withstand the demands of professional touring, live production and permanent AV installations.
