Add additional I/O to your digital mixing setup with the Midas DL32, a digital I/O stage box with 32 fully programmable, remotely controllable Midas PRO mic preamps and 16 analog, balanced XLR outputs. The stage box connects to the FOH through a single shielded Cat 5e cable without the need for a dedicated router.

This I/O box is designed with multiple scenarios in mind; it works equally well as a stand-alone pair for use with analog mixing consoles, or as part of the trio of a digital mixing solution along with the X32 digital mixer and P16 personal monitoring system. It features AES50 networking with the Klark Teknik SuperMAC technology.

• 32 award-winning Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers with switchable 48V phantom power
• 16 electronically balanced low-impedance line-level outputs
• ULTRANET personal monitoring system connectivity for in-ear applications
• Dual ADAT outputs for use in splitter mode and stand-alone digital multicore applications
• Two AES-3 ports (AES/EBU),e.g. for directly connecting PA system controllers with digital inputs
• Remote operation up to 100 m via Cat 5/5e cable
• MIDI In/Out for bidirectional communication between FOH console and on-stage MIDI devices
• Features Neutrik etherCON AES50 and ULTRANET network ports
• Rugged 3 RU rackmount chassis for durability in portable applications
• Auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supply
• Mute-All-Inputs function for quietly patching any inputs on stage

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.

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 4 RU. 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 any other 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 Cat 5 cabling, should that be more convenient for the venue.

The world-renowned engineers at Klark Teknik, Midas, Turbosound, and Behringer have all come together to create something truly innovative that will change your live and studio workflow forever—welcome to ULTRANET. This revolutionary technology seamlessly transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital audio and control data via a single shielded Cat 5e 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: all audio signals are impervious to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); signal crosstalk is eliminated, and ease of uses translates directly into a significant amount of time saved during show setup or installation. ULTRANET effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that gives you unparalleled ease of deployment, performance, and control for Behringer P16 Personal Monitoring Systems and Turbosound iQ Speaker Series.

Klark Teknik SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) technology gives the DL32 its high-capacity, ultralow latency digital interconnectivity as well as superbly simple deployment and ease of use. Klark Teknik engineers worked hand-in-hand with Behringer 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 ultralow 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

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How does this differ from the Behringer XR-18? And does this use the same software?

A: The Midas MR18 is made from higher grade components, offering the quality sound Midas is known for; though the software, functionally, will be the same. Granted, you would want to get the m-air app instead of the x-air app with the MR18.

Q: 2. Will this work with Windows 10?

A: Not compatible with Windows 10.

Q: 3. power supply for this unit comes with universal power supply cord 100-250v or do i use a regular 110 cord for america?

A: The Soundcraft Si Impact features an auto-sensing global power supply; 88 to 264 VAC. The power cord provided is based on the region the mixer is purchased in. When purchasing at B&H, you'd receive a power cable for use in North America.

Q: 4. Can one use this simply as a stereo mic amplifier with a 9v battery and no USB connection?

A: The ART USB Dual Pre can operate as a standalone mic preamp using 9V battery or AC power.

Q: 5. Can this stage box be used to expand the number of mixable inputs on a PreSonus StudioLive 16R?

A: No, the StudioLive 16R is not able to be expanded with more inputs using the NSB 8.8 stagebox.

Q: 6. This Mixer, have a 48 Phanton volt?

A: Yes, this will provide phantom power (48volts)

Q: 7. can i mix 32 channel at one time please?

A: All 32 channels of the USB audio interface are available for multi-track recording and playback.

Q: 8. does this board have speaker delays?

A: Thank you for your question. At this time there is no speaker delays on the output section.

Q: 9. Does this unit work with the Midas 32 live?

A: Yes. The Midas DL153 Stagebox is compatible with all Midas digital consoles and audio system engines, as well as with any other AES50-equipped devices.

Q: 10. How can I split the inputs for video recording?

A: The cleanest way to split the inputs would be to purchase and utilizing a DANTE option card (SO5031819V ) for the SI 40. Then with a separate purchase of DANTE Virtual Soundcard loaded on a computer, you could record up to 64 tracks of audio into a DAW to sync to a video recording later. This would require connecting the DANTE card and computer via a DANTE approved switch (BH#CISG35010K9N), and using DANTE controller to route the audio from the board to the computer. Please not that the console itself would control the overall gain level of each channel.
