Midas DL32 32-Input/16-Output Stage Box with 32 Midas Mic Preamplifiers, Bundle with 4x 25' XLR Microphone Cable

Digital mixing has revolutionized virtually everything in the live-entertainment production workflow. The DL32 is the perfect solution for connecting the onstage talent with your Front of House (FOH) console, and the rest of the world - the I/O packed and highly affordable DL32 digital stage box.

The DL32 provides 32 Midas PRO Series remote-controllable mic preamps, plus 16 balanced analog XLR returns at the stage end - and all it takes is a single Cat 5e cable. While Klark Teknik, the industry-leader in high-end digital audio processing, invented the AES50 SuperMAC technology that made it all possible - our superb scale of production makes the DL32 so very affordable.

Massive Connectivity
When used as part of a complete M32 system, two DL32 Stage Boxes can be cascaded via the built-in AES50 ports, providing connectivity for up to 64 mic/line inputs, 32 balanced outputs and the ULTRANET port allows direct connection to Turbosound iQ Series loudspeakers and the Behringer POWERPLAY P-16 Personal Monitoring System - which can feed up to 48 individual monitor mixers.

We also included 2 optical ADAT sockets and AES-3 (AES/EBU) for connecting to outboard devices, a convenient USB port for system updates via your PC - plus MIDI I/O for lighting systems and sound module control.

Ecosystem and Beyond
The DL32 was initially designed with our M32 Digital Mixing Console in mind, but any mixing board with AES50 networking capability can still tap directly into the DL32's powerful feature set. For instance, a DL32 and M32C could be jointly utilized to create a remote controlled digital mixing system in only 4U.

Another prime application might include the M32C providing independent monitor mix duties, while also relaying and sharing all I/O with the main console - an M32, or another digital mixer that supports MADI, Dante, ADAT or AES50 I/O. Reasonably priced option cards to replace the standard 32 x 32 channel USB interface are separately available for that exact purpose.

You can even mix the complete show from the onstage M32C via dedicated remote control apps. And since the DL32 and M32C communicate via AES50, they can be separated by CAT5 cabling, should that be more convenient for the venue.

ULTRANET - Seamless Integration
This revolutionary technology seamlessly transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital audio and control data via a single CAT5 cable between compatible digital devices - including mixers, I/O stage boxes, powered loudspeakers and personal monitoring systems.

Advantages realized through ULTRANET digital networking, versus traditional analog methods include: audio signals are impervious to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); signal crosstalk is eliminated, and ease of use translates directly into a significant amount of time saved during show setup or installation. ULTRANET effectuates a powerful digital eco-system, which we call "Acoustic Integration", providing unparalleled control over every element of your audio production environment from one convenient location.

Klark Teknik AES50
Klark Teknik SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) technology gives the DL32 its high-capacity, ultra-low latency digital interconnectivity, as well as superbly simple deployment and ease of use. Klark Teknik engineers worked hand-in-hand with Midas to ensure the DL32 meets, or exceeds, the requirements of live entertainers and their professional audio engineers. Some of the outstanding features are:

• 48 bidirectional audio channels over Cat 5e cable (48 kHz)
• Single cable duplex interconnection for audio and sample clocks
• Ethernet physical layer audio data transmission
• High channel count and ultra-low deterministic latency
• Accurate phase-aligned clock distribution
• Comprehensive error detection and management
• Provision for redundant networking
• Minimal configuration - total ease of deployment and use
• Ethernet TCP/IP protocol - compatible auxiliary data channel
• Royalty-free implementations available as Xilinx FPGA cores
• OEM modules available from developer partners
