    AR84

    Getting Started Guide


    The AR84 is a 19” rack mountable remote audio unit for all Allen & Heath digital mixing systems
    compatible with the dSnake protocol. It provides 8 remote controlled mic/line preamps and 4 XLR line
    outputs.
    Using a single network cable, the AR84 can be connected directly to the mixer or cascaded from an
    AR2412 or AB168.

     A maximum of two dSnake remote units can be connected to each mixer’s dSnake port.

    The AR84 is used to increase the number of I/O sockets in a system and position both sockets and
    AD/DA conversion close to the source/stage. It will not increase the number of processing channels
    available in the system and must be connected to a mixer where the audio can be processed and routed.

    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 www.allen-heath.com for 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 www.allen-
    heath.com/ahproducts/cat5/ for more details.

    Connection, Automatic firmware matching and LED behaviour
    On connection to a mixer, the AR84 will automatically check and match its firmware to the mixer model
    and mixer firmware version.
    If an update to firmware is required, it will happen automatically. This may take up to 2 minutes to
    complete. During an update, the port ‘Lnk/Err’ LED will flash red and once the update is complete, the
    AR84 will automatically reboot.
    When running the correct firmware and connected to a mixer, the ‘Lnk/Err’ LED next to the dSnake port
    will flash yellow steadily and the ‘Ready’ LED will illuminate.

      
     Input sockets 8 balanced XLR mic/line inputs. The preamps are built into the AR84 and their
    Gain, Pad and 48V phantom power are controlled remotely from the mixer via the dSNAKE link. Refer to
    mixer documentation for information on patching these sockets to input channels or other destinations in
    the system.

     Output sockets 4 balanced XLR outputs operating at nominal +4dBu line level. Refer to mixer
    documentation for information on patching output signals to these sockets.

     dSNAKE port EtherCon/RJ45 socket to connect directly to the mixer. This carries all input
    and output audio to and from the AR84 along with preamp control and system status messages.
     EtherCon locking connectors are recommended to prevent damage to cables or ports and
    avoid accidental disconnection.
