[Musikmesse] Midas XL-48

The XL48 features eight MIDAS XL4 mic pres into a 1U box. The Midas XL48 comes with swept high and low pass filters, eight Midas XL8 96 kHz 24-bit A-D converters and a low-jitter 1ppm clock. Additional features include 8-segment LED input meters, individual phantom power, polarity invert, and –20dB pad. All inputs are Neutrik XLR and 25-way D-sub connectivity.

The XL48 also features both analogue and digital outputs in ADAT and AES/EBU format. All five outputs can be used simultaneously, allowing the XL48 to perform as a multi-function analogue/digital mic splitter as well as adding the Midas touch to eight channels of a mix. Multiple clocking options are available, including external wordclock, internal 96k, 88.2k, 48k and 44.1k.

Applications include mobile recording, analogue and/or digital splits between consoles, and upgrading other brand digital consoles with MIDAS mic pres and a reference-grade clock.
