The dual EtherConAn Ethernet plug inside a rugged XLR-style locking shell — tour-grade network connections that can’t be yanked loose. ports are the spec that matters most when something goes wrong. Primary and secondary DanteThe most common audio-over-network standard: dozens of channels of uncompressed digital audio down one ordinary Ethernet cable between Dante boxes. connections give you a hot-redundantA second copy of anything critical — supply, computer, network path — already running so one failure can’t stop the show. network path — if the primary cable or switch fails mid-show, the secondary takes over without a dropoutA brief audio gap when the radio link fails — the thing diversity, distros, and coordination all exist to prevent.. The dual IECThe standard three-prong appliance power inlet on rack gear — the kettle lead. C13/C14 in spec-sheet speak. inlets work the same way on the power side: two feeds from two separate circuits and you have covered both failure modes that will ruin your night. At 40 watts nominal draw and 4 kg, this is light enough to fly in a rack without drama, and 250 mm depth is manageable in a shallow tour case. Sixteen preampsThe gain stage that lifts a mic’s tiny signal up to line level — the first thing a signal hits, and a big part of how a console sounds. is the right count for most monitor or IEMIn-Ear Monitor — earpieces that replace floor wedges, feeding each player their own mix. The reason this whole rack exists. rig input lists without daisy-chaining boxes.
