    Allen & Heath AR2412 Remote Stage Rack

    Running cables across a stage is nobody's idea of a good time — and running them 120 meters is even less fun. The Allen & Heath AR2412 AudioRack is the smarter way to get your I/O exactly where you need it, without turning your venue into a spaghetti western. Connect it to any Qu mixer via a single Cat5 cable using Allen & Heath's dSNAKE protocol, and suddenly your signal chain is lean, clean, and refreshingly untangled.

    No More Cable Chaos

    Most stage snakes are a logistical nightmare — coils of cable, signal degradation, and enough stress to age a sound engineer prematurely. dSNAKE changes the game by sending full digital audio and remote preamp control down a single Cat5 cable, keeping your setup tight and your sanity intact. It's the kind of backstage efficiency that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.

    • Single Cat5 Connection: Run audio and control up to 120 meters from your Qu mixer over one cable — no multi-core snake, no signal loss, no drama.
    • Remote Preamp Control: Adjust your mic preamp settings from the mixer position just as if the rack were sitting right beside you.
    • Scene-Recallable Preamps: Every mic preamp setting is stored and recalled with your scenes, so your meticulously crafted gain structure survives every soundcheck, every show.

    24 Inputs, 12 Outputs, Zero Excuses

    The AR2412 is built for stages that demand flexibility. With 24 XLR inputs and 12 XLR outputs, it handles everything from a modest band setup to a full theatrical production without breaking a sweat. Whether your inputs are mics, DIs, or mystery cables from 1987, the AR2412 takes them all in stride.

    • 24 XLR Mic/Line Inputs: Plenty of headroom for even the most input-hungry productions, with high-quality preamps to keep your signal chain sounding its best.
    • 12 XLR Outputs: Route monitor mixes, front-of-house feeds, and more — right from the rack to wherever the signal needs to go.
    • Monitor Port for ME-1 Personal Mixers: Connect Allen & Heath's ME-1 personal mixers directly to the AR2412, giving performers on stage their own independent monitor control without cluttering your mix bus.

    Built to Expand With You

    Gear that can't grow with your needs is just expensive furniture. The AR2412 includes an Expander port for daisy-chaining to an AR84 AudioRack (compatible with Qu-24 systems), meaning you can scale your I/O count as your productions grow — without ripping out your entire infrastructure and starting over.

    • Expander Port for AR84 Daisy-Chaining: Add an AR84 AudioRack to your Qu-24 setup with a single connection, expanding your input/output count without adding complexity.
    • Full Qu System Compatibility: Designed specifically to integrate with the Allen & Heath Qu mixer range, ensuring seamless communication between your console and your stage rack.
    • Compact, Rack-Mountable Form Factor: The AR2412 fits neatly into a standard rack, keeping your stage setup organized and professional-looking — even when everything else backstage is chaos.

    A Stage Rack That Works as Hard as You Do

    The Allen & Heath AR2412 AudioRack is the kind of gear that quietly makes everything better. It simplifies your stage layout, tightens your signal chain, and gives you precise remote control over every preamp in the rack — all over a single Cat5 cable. For Qu system users who want reliable, scalable, and professional-grade remote I/O, this is a straightforward upgrade that pays dividends show after show.
