Allen & Heath AR2412

Allen & Heath AR2412 hire in Melbourne. 24 mic inputs and 12 outputs on stage, down one Ethercon cable to the desk, for when the show grows past the inputs on the back of the mixer.

A stage box is the difference between a clean stage and cable spaghetti. Without one, every mic, DI and wedge needs its own lead running back to the mix position. With the AR2412, they all plug in on stage and one Ethercon cable carries the lot to front of house over Allen & Heath's dSNAKE. Less cables to run, less to tape down, less running back and forth, less to bump in, and more importantly less to bump out. The only way to do it.

It works with Allen & Heath SQ, QU and Avantis desks, and it's the stage box we run with our own SQ5 on band, corporate and broadcast jobs. It lives in a Pelican 1525 Air case, so it travels well and takes a knock.

Good for: live music, band rigs, corporate events, conferences, panel sessions, broadcast setups, theatre and larger productions where the stage is a long way from the desk.

Good to know: This isn't a standalone unit. It needs a compatible Allen & Heath console to run. Book the Ethercon cable too, check the run length from stage to desk so you get the right one.
