AB168 is a portable audio rack for digital mixing systems GLD, QU, and SQ. When connected to GLD-80/GLD-112/QU-16, 24, 32, SQ 5, 6, 7, or AR-2412 audio rack, it provides 16 inputs and 8 outputs with XLR connectors. It features 16 microphone preamps with LED indication and Phantom power.
It connects to the system via dSNAKE protocol to GLD-80/GLD-112/QU-16, 24, 32, or AR2412 Audio Rack using a secure Ethercon port. The second Ethercon port is used for daisy-chaining with another AB168 or connecting to an ME-1.
