Midas Digital Snakes

The range includes models for all occasions and venue sizes, featuring the Midas mic preamps with remote control and sample synchronous ultra low latency. Models range from a 16in/8out system up to 64in/64out channels with up to 3,000 metres range, and include a fixed-format, competitively priced 48in/16out model.

There is a choice of four hardware options including the DL431 24-channel, 5-way active digital/analogue input splitter. Each of its 24 inputs features three Midas mic pres, completely isolated from each other to prevent any audio interaction.

The DL351 64 channel and DL451 24 channel units support a range of five different I/O modules providing huge configuration flexibility. Options include the Midas remote controlled mic pres, line in/out on various connectors and AES3 digital audio with sample rate conversion and local synchronisation capability.

The DL251 and DL252 are designed to provide a fixed-format, 48-in 16-out, all-analogue remote stagebox which feature Midas mic pre’s and dual-redundant power supplies. Remote control of mic amp functions is achieved from any Midas digital console, or via a PC computer running the appropriate Midas software.

All the systems are connected using standard CAT5e cables carrying the AES50 multichannel audio and control protocol and provide a standard 100m range. This can be extended up to 3,000m with the new Klark Teknik DN9650 network bridge.

Applications include:

• Analogue I/O digital snake systems from stage to FOH

• Digital multi channel splitter systems for remote locations with dual remote control Midas mic pres – with up to 3000m range

• Midas mic pre stage boxes for mixing consoles and other devices with multi channel network connections such as MADI, Ethersound, Aviom and Dante
