The Midas DL151 is a 2U 19" fixed-configuration rack I/O unit with 24 mic/line level inputs and delivers legendary Midas sound quality utilising the Midas time-tested and road-proven technologies. Featuring award-winning Midas microphone preamplifiers with 2.5 dB analogue gain steps and two AES50 network ports providing dual redundancy, the DL151 is the ideal partner to all Midas PRO and M32 Series digital consoles, enabling a digital snake connection from Front of House to stage.

The Midas microphone preamplifier is considered by leading live sound and recording engineers to be the very essence of the famous Midas sound. More than 40 years of design experience paired with the finest choice of premium-grade components lead to the acclaimed warmth and depth - bringing out subtle ambience, maintaining spatial positioning and more effectively capturing a precise sound image.

SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) digital audio networking technology from Klark Teknik simultaneously provides high channel counts, ultra low and deterministic latencies, sample-synchronous and phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection and correction, network redundancy, and ease of deployment and use – to meet the demanding requirements of live concert touring. The DL151 is compatible with all Midas digital consoles and audio system engines, as well as with any other AES50-equipped devices.
