Compatibility and Cable

The AR84 uses the 48kHz dSnake protocol, which is a layer 2, fast ethernet protocol designed for point-to-point connections. This means it can be connected to the dedicated dSnake ports included on the GLD and Qu systems or used with the intelligent SLink port which can switch to a dSnake mode.

Refer to the latest documentation for your mixer available from  more information on connecting, patching, and controlling the AR84 with your system.

Cat5e (or higher) STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable should be used, with a maximum cable length of 100m (330ft) between each unit. Use of passive couplers to join cables will reduce this distance.

High-quality touring grade cables are available through your A&H dealer. Please see  more details.
