Allen Heath GX4816 Kenya 48x16 Portable GX Expander 96kHz Stage Box

The Allen Heath GX4816 Kenya is the stage box serious engineers reach for when channel count, audio quality, and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether you are running a large-scale live event in Nairobi, a touring production across East Africa, or a fixed installation in a church or conference facility, this unit delivers exactly what the job demands.

At its core, the GX4816 is a 48-input, 16-output portable GX expander built to work natively with Allen & Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ digital mixing consoles. It connects to your console via a single Cat5e cable using the GX protocol, transmitting 96kHz audio with zero compromise on signal integrity over long stage runs. That single-cable simplicity is a genuine operational advantage when you are setting up fast and cannot afford downtime.

The 48 mic/line XLR inputs are laid out in four rows across the front panel, each with individual phantom power switches. The 16 XLR line outputs sit to the right, clearly labelled and numbered. Two DX sockets on the lower right allow you to chain additional DX expanders directly from the GX4816, giving you even more I/O flexibility without adding another Cat5e run back to the console. The GX port handles the primary console link.

Build quality is exactly what you expect from Allen & Heath: solid steel chassis, tight connector tolerances, and a rackmount form factor that fits standard touring racks without drama. The rear panel cooling fan is visible and functional, keeping internal temperatures stable during extended sessions.
