MIDAS DL16
16 Input, 8 Output Stage Box with 16 Midas Microphone Preamplifiers, ULTRANET and ADAT Interfaces
Upgrade your rig with the sound of some of these legendary Midas Pro series preamps - the very same pre's used in their acclaimed Pro series consoles - courtesy of the Midas DL16 stage box.
This 16 input, 8 output AES50 network device makes adding a digital snake to your rig as easy as running a single Cat 5 cable.
You can daisy chain up to three Midas DL16's together, so you can comfortably set 48 remote-controllable Midas Pro preamps onstage with plenty of returns to spare for monitor mixing!
Digital mixing has revolutionised virtually everything in the live entertainment production work flow, and now that same cutting-edge technology brings live production signal distribution into the modern age.
The DL16 Stage Box provides 16 of our award-winning microphone preamplifiers with switchable +48 V phantom power; 8 balanced analogue XLR returns at the stage end; an integrated ULTRANET output for connecting compatible devices, plus connectivity for your ADAT-compatible outboard equipment.
If your application calls for more inputs, or you just want to keep your cable runs short and tidy, putting one DL16 at stage left and one at stage right will do that for you - plus much more.
Using a digital snake will ensure you get the most out of your system - and it's usually a very noticeable difference.
The best part – all it takes is a single CAT5 cable.
Even if you need to add a second box like in the scenario above, it's as simple as chaining the two boxes together. Having a level of redundancy is also a big benefit!
Plus, no more of those pesky dead channels...

Ever since their formation in the 1970's, Midas have had a long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing consoles. Employed by the most famous touring acts and installations worldwide, the Midas XL4 and Heritage H3000 consoles quickly became industry standards.
Midas have built an impeccable reputation for our no-compromise approach to audio and build quality, and in particular for their Award-winning Mic Preamps which are considered by industry experts as the industry's best sounding designs.
Building on this legacy, the DL16 features 16 of the very same preamplifiers that are used in their highly-acclaimed PRO Series consoles.
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 realised 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.
Many manufacturers have adopted the ADAT digital interface as a means of transferring digital data between certain types of audio devices, such as mixers, synthesizers, lighting rigs and effect processors.
The DL16’s onboard ADAT Outputs enable splitting the high-quality MIDAS Pro Series preamp signals to outboard devices – including recording systems.
When more channels are required, these optical sockets can alternately be used to connect ADAT-equipped D/A converters for up to 16 additional analogue outputs.
Connecting over a single shielded (STP) CAT5 cable, up to three DL16s can be daisy-chained to deliver 48 channels in and 24 out to the stage.
KLARK TEKNIK’s AES50 simultaneously provides high channel counts, extremely low and deterministic latency, 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.
Here's some examples:
The DL16’s ingenious monitoring/head amp control section allows you to select any of the 16 inputs, 8 bus outputs or P-16 output streams for immediate line checks.
In addition to signal metering at the stage box, you can also set individual input channel Gain, apply +48 V phantom power – and listen directly to the input signal via headphones and much more.
Once set, all configuration settings can be locked at the console for total system security.
For easy set up and signal routing verification, a headphones jack is conveniently located on the front of the DL16, giving you the option of listening directly to any of the 16 inputs.
Simply select the signal you need to monitor by scrolling through the 16 channels whilst adjusting the gain and selecting the operating mode – all via a single robust rotary control.
Using scene automation has never been simpler or more convenient.
The automation scenes allow MIDI events to be incorporated, so that external MIDI-compatible devices can be controlled as part of a scene change via your console’s MIDI output.
Additionally, console events can be triggered from an external MIDI source via your console’s MIDI input.
You can also control the gain and phantom power settings remotely using the MIDI communication functionality.
As you can see, the DL16 digital stage box is the ideal 16 x 8 signal distribution solution thanks to the legendary Midas remote controllable mic preamps, KLARK TEKNIK’s AES50 connectivity and a wealth of other professional-grade features.
Built tough enough to withstand the rigours of the road, the Midas DL16 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 they back it up with a comprehensive 10 year warranty program.
