The release of the DT Preamp Control app enables Allen & Heath’s Dante I/O expanders to now be used within any Dante audio network.
The free application, compatible with Windows and macOS, allows control of multiple DT168 and DT164-W expanders connected to Dante-equipped third-party digital mixers and sound management systems, bringing the acclaimed sound of Allen & Heath’s preamps and 96kHz conversion to a host of new users in live, broadcast, install and studio applications.
The portable DT168 the wall-mount DT164-W are offer solutions to distributed networks where high-channel-count Dante or AES67 I/O is required. The IEC armoured cable or DC power options for the DT164-W make it particularly suitable for in-wall mounting and stage pockets in permanent installations.
‘Since the launch of these products we have received numerous requests for extending their use beyond Allen & Heath mixing systems,’ says A&H Technical Marketing Manager, Martijn Verkerk. ‘Houses of worship, university campuses, and arenas have all showed an interest in deploying our Dante solutions alongside their existing audio system, and DT Preamp Control enables that.’
