Midas DL252 – 16 Input, 48 Output Stage Box with 16 Microphone Preamplifiers

Description

DL252 is a 5U 19″ fixed-configuration rack I/O unit with 16 mic/line level inputs and 48 line level outputs and delivers legendary Midas sound quality utilising our time-tested and road-proven technologies. Featuring award-winning Midas microphone preamplifiers with 2.5 dB analogue gain steps and three AES50 network ports providing N+1 redundancy, plus an Ethernet control port and a MIDI Interface (In, Out, Thru), the DL252 is the ideal partner to the Midas M32 Series and PRO Series digital consoles, enabling a digital snake connection from Front of House to stage.

DL252 features 48 active servo-balanced low impedance line level outputs with high output current capability for driving long cable runs.

A recessed ‘Mute All Outputs’ switch on the rear panel allows quiet and safe re-patching of cables, even during a show.

DL252 supports multiple sample rates for the AES50 connections – 96 kHz for use with Midas PRO Series, and 48 kHz for use with Midas M32 Series.

All configuration settings for DL252 can be set either remotely from the mixing console, or directly via the intuitive and easy to understand front panel. DL252 features front panel switches for all configuration options with LED status indicators, which provide highly visible feedback of operational status over wide viewing angles and distances. Clear indication is provided showing power supply output rail condition, AES50 and Ethernet network connection status and activity, choice of internal or external clock synchronisation, unit identification and communication mode setting.

Featuring a rugged steel 5U rackmount enclosure, the DL252 is designed for the rigours of live concert touring. Premium industry-standard connectors are used to ensure reliable audio and network connections, night after night.

DL252 features dual-redundant power supplies, which are auto-voltage sensing for use on a worldwide basis and provide seamless switchover in the unlikely event of a loss of one power supply. =+=
