The DL8 Stage Box provides 8 of the award-winning Midas PRO microphone preamplifiers with switchable +48 V phantom power; 8 electronically balanced low impedance line level; integrated ULTRANET distribution hub for connecting to Behringer P16-M personal monitor mixers or Turbosound speaker systems; plus dual AES50 SuperMAC ports for cascading additional stageboxes.
The world-renowned engineers at Klark Teknik, Midas, Turbosound and Behringer have all come together to create something truly innovative that will change live and studio workflow forever – ULTRANET. 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 analogue methods: audio signals are impervious to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); signal crosstalk is eliminated; and ease of setup translates directly into significant time saved during installation. ULTRANET effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that gives you unparalleled control over every element of your audio production environment from one convenient location.
Connecting over a single shielded (STP) CAT5 cable, up to three DL8s can be daisy-chained to deliver 24 channels in and 24 out to the stage. Klark Teknik’s 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 post-production, broadcasting and audio routing infrastructure.
The DL8 digital stage box is the ideal 8 x 8 signal distribution solution thanks to the legendary remote controllable mic preamps, Klark Teknik’s AES50 connectivity and a wealth of other professional-grade features. Built tough enough to withstand the rigors of the road, the DL8 only takes up two rack spaces and connects to FOH with a single, inexpensive CAT5 cable. Now you can have the missing link between the stage and FOH at a fraction of the cost of competing systems – and MIDAS back it up with a comprehensive warranty program.
