Midas AS88 - Dual HyperMAC to 8 Port Dual Redundant AES50 Converter

The Midas AS88 is designed to seamlessly convert a two, high-bitrate HyperMAC connections into eight fully redundant AES50 connections, and vice versa, whilst ensuring ultra-fast audio switching. Built for speed and reliability, AS88 also supports up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz.

Using the AS88 with our flagship HD96 console enables full redundancy across both console Snake ports – unlocking greater channel capacity and enhanced system reliability. Furthermore, AS88’s utilisation of advanced FPGA-based switching technology ensures dependable HyperMAC failover to a redundant connection when needed.

Equipped with rugged industry standard RJ45 and optical connectors, the AS88 ensures seamless system integration and reliable, high-performance audio transmission over long distances. Engineered for professionals who demand rock-solid stability and uncompromising audio quality, it’s the trusted solution for touring and live sound environments.

The AS88 features a rugged 2U rackmountable chassis that fits seamlessly into any live or portable sound setup. Its compact size maximises space, while its durablility ensures it can withstand the physical demands and the high-pressure environments of life on the road.
