Midas DN4816-O StageConnect

DN4816-O

The DN4816-O is the perfect solution for connecting additional line outputs to your monitor or FOH console. It provides 16 analog outputs (e.g., to connect wireless transmitters for in-ear monitoring). Additionally, it provides an Ultranet input, that can be used to forward Signals from an AIR mixer via StageConnect.

The StageConnect interface can be connected to other StageConnect devices using a single XLR cable for multi-channel audio transmission. There are various I/O options available providing easily scalable connectivity in your side rack. The devices of the DN48XX Series can be daisy-chained and will negotiate the channels for their respective connectivity automatically.

StageConnect – The Future of XLR

What if any standard XLR or DMX cable could be used to transmit more than one channel of audio?
What if that cable could transmit signals not only one way, but bi-directionally?
What if that cable would allow the passage of control data or even MIDI at the same time?
What if a connected StageConnect device could receive up to 18 W of power through that same cable?

Well, these capabilities are exactly what StageConnect delivers – a new interface standard to be released by Music Tribe after two years of development. The Midas DN48XX Series is one of the first available I/O-Interfaces based on the StageConnect standard. This new standard comes with outstanding technical specs: 32 channels of uncompressed PCM audio in various I/O configurations, 24-bit at 48 kHz, below 0.5 ms of latency.

For optimum performance and long cable runs 110 Ohm DMX cable is required.

Ecosystem and Beyond

The DN48XX Series is the first generation of I/O Interfaces for the new StageConnect ecosystem. StageConnect was introduced with the Behringer WING mixing console. Even though the DN48XX Series was designed with the WING console in mind the devices can be used with all StageConnect devices like HUB4. The StageConnect Ecosystem opens a wide field of audio devices. May it be several I/O devices spread over the Stage or equipment in the siderack – the use cases for the DN48XX Series StageConnect Interfaces are virtually endless.
