Item Description
Serial: AB1608X-696912
Listed 25 days ago
The unit is in good physical condition and includes rack-mounting ears, and power cord.
Connectivity: All 16 XLR inputs and 8 XLR outputs pass audio cleanly. The dSNAKE ports (Primary and Expander) connect and sync as expected.
Known Issue: Please note that the Phantom Power (48V) can be intermittent. While the preamp gains and standard signal flow work perfectly, the phantom power has been known to cut out occasionally.
Best Use Case: This unit is an excellent, cost-effective solution for anyone using dynamic microphones (like SM58s), line-level signals, or outboard preamps that don't require 48V from the stage box. Ideal for Drum Sub-mixes or Stage Left/Right setups: Even with the intermittent phantom power, this is a perfect "drop-box" for instruments that don't require 48V, such as:
Dynamic Mics (Drums, Guitar Amps, Vocals)
Active DI boxes (running on battery)
Keyboard/Synth line levels
Providing 8 additional monitor or IEM outputs
Key Features:
16 Mic Preamps (XLR)
8 Line Outs (XLR)
dSNAKE Connection with locking EtherCon port
Daisy Chain capability (Expander port for connecting to another AB168 or AR84)
Rack-Ready: Includes the optional rack ears for secure mounting in a standard 19-inch rack.
Reason for Selling: We have recently upgraded our ecosystem to the AR2412 and no longer require this unit.
Sold as-is due to the intermittent phantom power issue described above.
