The Ace Backstage 174SLBK Stage Pocket is purpose-built for the permanent floor installation of the Allen & Heath DX164W or DigiCo A164 expander units. This modern, floor-mounted solution relocates digital connectivity from the wall directly into the stage floor, offering convenient access while eliminating the need for wall-to-stage cable runs.
Key Features
Deep Profile Design & Mounting Flexibility
Engineered with an extra-deep Double Wide Back Box and custom mounting brackets, the 174SLBK securely houses the digital expander and supports two standard 3-gang plates—ideal for expanding low-voltage audio, data, or video connections.
Heavy-Duty Hinged Lid
The solid steel lid is load-tested to support up to 750 lbs with no deflection when properly installed. Removable hinge pins allow the lid to be easily detached, streamlining installation and maintenance.
Secure Mounting Bracket Design
Custom horizontal brackets and mounting ears provide a stable mount for the digital expander and ganged plates. High-voltage requirements can be accommodated using the WP-3E Panel and a matching switchbox.
Simplified Installation Process
Install the Pocket Body Back Box below the subfloor, ensuring alignment with finished floor height. Connector panels can be terminated in advance, with a temporary cover protecting the box during construction. Once ready, use the included mounting ears to secure the expander unit and align the Bezel & Lid Assembly with the back box to sandwich the floor securely in place.
Connectrix Panel Compatibility
Compatible with standard WP-300 Series Panels, this pocket offers a wide range of customization. Hundreds of isolated connectors are available at no additional cost, with fully loaded and labeled panels deliverable within 3 days of order.
