This card establishes a bidirectional 128x128 channel link between dLive and Avantis mixing systems. It provides a high-resolution, uncompressed alternative to traditional analog multicores by utilizing standard CAT5e or higher cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonic Transparency at High Velocity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gigaACE operates at native 96kHz with ultra-low transport latency of 5 samples (52 microseconds), ensuring phase-coherent audio alignment across networked consoles. This latency specification delivers responsiveness equivalent to local I\/O without the signal degradation typical of high-latency digital systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMission-Critical Hardware Redundancy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gigaACE features dual locking EtherCon ports with hardware-level redundancy and proprietary FPGA-driven failover. Cable loss on one port results in zero audio dropouts or synchronization errors, ensuring uninterrupted operation during critical performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnified Control and Seamless Workflow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gigaACE tunnels TCP\/IP control data and third-party Ethernet traffic through a single connection, enabling remote control of both linked systems via a single laptop. Plug-and-play setup requires no computer configuration—connect the CAT5e cable and patch from the mixer screen to go live in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain Product Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128 bidirectional channels of uncompressed digital audio at a native 96kHz sample rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low transport latency of just 52 microseconds for instant, real-time mix response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-cable redundancy paths featuring proprietary FPGA-driven hardware failover protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Control Network Bridge for tunneling TCP\/IP and independent third-party network data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple plug-and-play installation protocol with no external computer configuration required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCost-effective digital splitting architecture optimized for front-of-house and monitor setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull native support for Cross-Rack Gain Sharing between compatible dLive and Avantis systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged dual locking EtherCon connectors ensuring secure, heavy-duty professional operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audio Networking Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128 x 128 Bidirectional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Sample Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransport Latency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 samples (~52.08 μs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtocol Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirmware Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e dLive V1.3 or higher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterface Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x Locking RJ45 (EtherCon compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 meters using CAT5e or higher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRedundancy Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-cable hardware-level redundancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Heath dLive (C and S Class), Avantis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 kg (1.43 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExplore Allen \u0026amp; Heath Networking Solutions [gigaACE]:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allen-heath.com\/hardware\/audio-networking\/gigaace\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.allen-heath.com\/hardware\/audio-networking\/gigaace\/\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Heath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44199751745572,"sku":"ALLE-M DL GACE A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/8294\/files\/ADSRS_ALLE-MDLGACEA_gigaACEimg01.png?v=1779439066","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosaurus.co.za\/products\/allen-heath-gigaace-audio-networking-card","provider":"Audiosaurus ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
