Add additional I/O to your digital mixing setup with theMIDAS DL8, a digital I/O stage box with 8 remote-controlled Midas PRO preamplifiers as well as eight servo-balanced analog XLR outputs.
An integrated 2-port Ultranet distribution hub is included for direct connection to the Behringer’s P16-M personal monitor mixers without the need for any additional hardware. The DL8 ships in a 2 RU enclosure and includes a standard IEC power cord, installed protection bumpers, and a set of rack ears.
Overview
Ultranet Seamless IntegrationEngineers at Midas, Klark Teknik, Turbosound, and Behringer have come together to create a rock-solid, easy to deploy, lowest-latency, long-distance, multi-channel audio transmission interface. The Ultranet technology has meanwhile proven to seamlessly transmit 16 channels of 24-bit audio over standard Cat 5 cable up to 246′ length, in hundreds of thousands of applications world-wide, connecting mixers, I/O boxes, powered loudspeakers, and personal monitoring systems. Ultranet effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that combines highest reliability, with unparalleled ease of use and flexibility.Dual AES50 Ports for Massive ConnectivityConnecting over a single, shielded (STP) Cat 5 cable, up to three DL8s can be daisy-chained to deliver 24 channels in and 24 out to the stage. Klark Tekniks AES50 simultaneously provides high channel counts, extremely low and deterministic latencies, accurate phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection, network redundancy, with simple deployment and ease of use to meet the needs of the live performance industry. This unique combination also benefits both live and studio recording applications as well as postproduction, broadcasting, and audio routing infrastructure.Specifications
